I am listening a bit to the interrogation of him by the panel of Senators, and I find him to be a splendid representation of the level of honesty, transparency, regard for the people and their concerns, and readiness for his office as is also exhibited by the rest of our current government.

In other words, I am appalled at the hesitancy and fearfulness in the responses, and disgusted that this ignorant person represents the head of our Department of Justice.

The swamp was drained and everything that was found in the muck was elevated into the current cabinet.
The Peter Principle at work all around us.
