1. Lock him up & do not let him out!

[BKDem]

2. Lock this belligerent political hack up!

[bottomofthehill]

43. It will be difficult to fuck up the USPS from behind bars

[Karadeniz]

3. Lying to Congress...

[Canoe52]

34. To quote Rick Perry, "oops"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Of course he did. It was expected of him if he wanted to keep his sinecure.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. And?

Where are the officials pressing charges?

[Nevilledog]

11. It's also a violation of NC State law, which has no statute of limitations.

[uponit7771]

17. Oh Dear .... 😎😎😎

[Lonestarblue]

25. NC will have to press charges because corrupt Barr will not.

Perhaps Biden’s AG can press charges on January 21.

[a kennedy]

6. LOCK THE WHOLE DAMN SWAMP UP........

[MyOwnPeace]

7. Lying to Congress...... Telling the truth to Congress........Not showing up.........

doesn't matter - they do what they want and ain't nobody gonna' change 'em!


Well, actually, WE CAN!!!!!!


GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. As we all know he is golden, for now...GOP arent subject to laws...but if putin lets us have an

election, another matter.

[Newest Reality]

9. Well,

It seems to me he had a choice between a potential felony or two or three, (conspiracy and interfering with the US mail) and preferred to perjure himself.

Ah, he probably doesn't have enough time to go through a trial and then get pardoned before we boot his "boss" out of our White House.

I would wonder what the deal they made was.

[Tanuki]

10. So proud of my congressman, Jim Cooper! 💘

He then went on to ask DeJoy if his backup plan was "to be pardoned like Roger Stone!" DeJoy nearly blew a gasket.

12. He did good. Obviously had a heads up on the employee contribution scam

[volstork]

18. As am I!

We don't have many good ones here in TN, but Jim is definitely a good one!!

[Renew Deal]

20. Don't know Jim Cooper, but that turned out to be impressive.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. I had commented on one of the hearing live threads about his EXCELLENT questioning

He is a Harvard lawyer and as they always say, a "good" lawyer usually already knows the answer to the question they are asking.

[mjvpi]

41. That line of questioning makes so much sense now.

Rep Cooper obviously pushed some buttons. It was out of left field and surgically delivered.I love the smell of roasting corruption in the morning.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Surprised that this story

finaly came to light. ATA has always been a slimmed up operation and DeJoy and his Company kind led the way. Not to forget,the ATA,American Trucking Association was one of the Main Conduits used by Bush and Cheney for their Money operations. And the ATA in one of the larger money outfits for the GOP.

47. DeJoy is a criminal scumbag.

[Blue Owl]

15. Attention: THE LAW APPLIES TO LOUIS DEJOY

Repeat: THE LAW APPLIES TO LOUIS DEJOY

To rephrase: LOUIS DEJOY IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW

Now lock him the fuck up, goddamnit...

[yaesu]

16. well, these days there isn't any punishment for lying, Barr & the repukes seen to that. nt

[Renew Deal]

19. Did Cooper know he was lying?

It seems like he did.

[Nevilledog]

22. I think so. Pretty specific area of questioning.

[warmfeet]

21. We are witnessing the coup,

in real time.

I wonder if it can be stopped.

[unitedwethrive]

23. The fact that he said "I'm fully aware of legal campaign contributions"

might be very helpful during his trial.

[bamagal62]

24. So, is that 2 felonies?

One for doing it and one for lying about it?

[Illumination]

30. Maybe more because he's associated with little donny dummy..

[bamagal62]

32. So true.

[First Speaker]

27. It would be headline news if any of these assholes ever told the truth...

[Illumination]

28. Force NoJoy to eat all that rotten stuff left sitting on the docks & put him to work without any

sorting machines! See how he likes THAT work environment! The townspeople should come to his home again with torches like they did in "Frankenstein"!....Because NoJoy is a monster of sorts also. He needs to be run out of town on a rail to the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth Kansas!

[yuiyoshida]

29. He's a thug and a bully and needs to be fired from this job

and thrown in cages with the rest of the Republican party.

[smirkymonkey]

33. Just another lying republican liar from Liarsville.

Lock him up! The corruption in this administration is over the top. I honestly do not believe that there is one innocent person in the entire Trump swamp.

[Enterstageleft]

35. Lock the MF'er up

Then mail him his meals.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

36. The WaPo DeJoy investigation is amazing. Nice job using public campaign donor data to uncover crimes

38. Bailiff! Whack his peepee! then its jail for contempt...ASAPP😝

[bucolic_frolic]

39. Wow, that is an enchilada grande

from what i read elsewhere today, that and this, if all true, is the whopper of elite arrogance. Congress has a way of asking the most damnable questions.

[Lock him up.]

45. "Congress has a way of asking the most damnable questions." but...

... so far, Congress seems to have no way to effectively do anything to stop the cRiminal$ from committing all the cRime$ they want without any real deterent or consequence.

40. It's too late.

Dejoy's not gonna step down, he's never gonna be held accountable.

[marble falls]

42. Such a major disappointment.

[PaDemocrat]

44. Yawn!!! Nothing will happen to him Sadly

[seta1950]

46. Braking the law

By lying to Congress under oath, no less, I wonder what would happen to an average American if we did that?

[mjvpi]

48. Trump is setting these guys up to be American oligarchs. Just like Putin did with Russian resources.

This process started with Reagan and the Chicago school boys. I just keeps getting uglier. We have the richest guy in Congress running for our governor (Montana). he doesn't want to preserve what's here. As Governor he can grease wheels for those that will support him in whatever his next power play is.

Ronald Reagan started the god damned fairy tail that the government is worthless and wants to take your hard earned money and give it to the lazy "other". But it's slight of hand. While you are keeping an eagle eye out for the welfare queen they privatize the military industrial complex with cost plus, no bid contracts. I still want to know how a cost plus, no bid contract saves the customer (us) money. it's a gravy train. Dejoy bought himself a scam that has been 40 years in the making. Red meat Republicans are buying Q. Subtle, real power plays are being successfully pulled off with no sense of shame.

[Fullduplexxx]

49. Well he will be given a second chance to change his story

Well ... what i meant to say was ....

[intheflow]

50. That's a lot of eye-blinking from DeJoy during testimony.

Dead give-away that he's lying, per this article in the US National Library of Medicine: Detecting false intent using eye blink measures. I was so struck by his blinking I looked it up to see if that was, indeed, a sign of lying. It was so... blatant.

[WVreaper]

51. Oops!
