May 2013

Heard some of the hearing this afternoon, and watching it now on C-SPAN.

Also, D Congressman ?Connolly, of VA, complemented him and said if anyone were to challenge or seek to harm Hicks due to his evidence, he'd have his back. (Said it more strongly.)

AND, Jackie Speier, D of CA, said she'd like to see/help him obtain a posting where he would like to be. Dems on the Committee appear to respect him.

chaffetz the only repug I've seen/heard being an a'hole. All others being constructive.
