Hey Way Too Early asshole host

Why are you even questioning whether the Jan 6 Committee is legitimate. Who gives a shit if ReTHUGs think so?
The fucking courts at every level have told ReTHUGs to hand over documents.
The communications companies have handed over the details of the coup.
Stop spreading ReTHUG misinformation for fucksake.
That is all.

I think it comes from his years of working for the Associated Press. He takes the "don't inject personal or political opinions" mantra to the extreme.

that he’s a political dunce or a partisan ReTHUG hack. The Committee has received the backing of all three branches of government.

ANYONE that questions the legitimacy, and especially someone with a ringside seat to January 6, of these proceedings has ulterior motives, and discerning the absolute truth is probably not high on the list.

He has to ask certain questions. The answer should have revealed that, yes, it is a legitimate investigation and that GOP complaints to the contrary are their own fault.

Lemire is the guy at Helsinki who asked Putin if Russia wanted Trump to win in 2016. Putin said, “Da,” and explained why. That was edited out of Trump WH transcript.

Lemire also asked Drumpf if he believed US Intel or Putin about election interference.

“Who do you believe, Mr. President, Russia or your own intelligence agencies?”

ANYONE or ANYTHING MEDIA that is even *suggesting* these hearings may be illegitimate is a piece of shit.

I am a fairly intelligent and informed kind of guy. Like many on this Website, I pay a good deal of attention to our political world around us. I watched January 6 from the very beginning of the media coverage. I saw it all.

Lemire saw it all also. He is an intelligent, educated man. So again...

ANYONE or ANYTHING MEDIA that is even *suggesting* these hearings may be illegitimate is a piece of shit, and their motives must IMMEDIATELY. BE. SUSPECT.

Perhaps he phrased it poorly? I didn't hear it so I can't really judge, but I'm inclined to think he was questioning whether republicans will view the hearings as legitimate.

Watched some FQX noise last night just to see if they were even mentioning the televised hearings,
they are sure promoting the fact the the Committee is illegitimate and it's Nancy Pelosi's fault.
Hope they lose a lot of viewers because of their disinformation.

over and over again all day long and you never learn anything new. Meanwhile, any real news will get sidelined in favor of endless opinions from people who don't know much more than we do.

I'm to the point where I'd really like a little more actual news and not so much opinion. You can watch MSNBC all day and only hear the same 3 or 4 stories reported over and over again. If there is something major, it might only be ONE story. It was amazing that when Michael Jackson died, absolutely nothing else happened in the entire world for several days!

I do appreciate some expert opinions and commentary, but not as a substitute for news. It often feels like lazy filler.
