6. Darrell Issa was a preening jackass

If this were a garden-variety court hearing, I like to think that the judge would've admonished him to stop testifying instead of asking questions and to actually give Smith a chance to answer the questions he asked rather than interrupting him every. single. time. Of course Gym Jordan couldn't be arsed to do that.

Brandon Gill, the Texas representative after Issa was just as bad, imo. Let Smith answer your questions rather than butting in and hurrying him along as if you had somewhere more important to be.
