At first, he refused to answer question and just went on and on sanctimoniously that he knew he didn't lie.

I attended a Veterans' Town Hall event he hosted, last Friday, at the VA in West L.A. It was so moving. Incredible to hear these 14 military veterans - 12 men and two women - tell their stories, recount their memories, describe their agony and their struggle, and earn a number of standing ovations.

Ted Lieu is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! I've said it before: I didn't think we could do better than Henry Waxman, when that distinguished Westside representative retired after decades of excellent service. But MAN-OH-MAN did we EVER!!!

Lieu replaced Henry Waxman when he retired. His area covers large portions of southern California including Agoura Hills, Beverly Hills, Venice, beach cities (Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach), Rancho Palos Verdes and parts of Torrance and San Pedro. (my rep.)

now I do need a drink.

Have you heard what lays between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia? Its either Alabama or Texas.

What lies between Houston and El Paso is Breitbart.

Heaven help us. At least Pennsylvania is starting to pull itself out of the fire. Texas is just throwing gasoline on it.

My grandfather dug coal at the Bethlehem mines, and lived in Nanty Glo.

Sessions is not required to treat Congressman Lieu with any modicum of respect, and he certainly did not. But it might serve the "Honorable" Mr. Sessions well, in his unknown and tenuous future, to temper his disdain for both Mr. Lieu and the time-honored processes of Congress. Verb sap.

What a racist little prick! Watch his facial expressions and listen to the way he clearly is mocking Rep Lieu’s accent in the way he chooses to answer the questions.

"I do not recall." He should be impeached for being mentally unfit for office. He reminds me of the despicable bigots and misogynists that still rule in Alabama and elsewhere. It's time to defeat these roosters (both male and female) at the ballot box.

I haven't heard that many "I don't recall" utterance since dubya's AG Alberto Gonzales had to sit and answer questions. It was true deja vu. With both men, one feels like saying - "well, what DO you recall? Your name? Where you put your car keys? Who you celebrated with when you got the new job?" I wanted to shout - "for somebody with that high-powered, big-time job, running that level of department, you sure don't know much, do you?"

Only difference this time was that the drawl was much more pronounced with this jerk than with Alberto Gonzales.

Thank you. Beauregard is just a cog in the wheels of these cynical repubs, imo. They will throw him to the pits of the insane wanna be rulers. rump must remember that we are not going to let putin or any foreign power dictate US policy (are we?). Silly me, Caligula.

"I don't recall."

In all, Reagan said ``I don`t recall`` or ``I can`t remember`` 88 times in the eight hours of testimony [on Iran-Contra] taken Feb. 16-17 in Los Angeles.
