7. Hey! You didn't cite the CSPAN group as your source! nt

[Lars39]

9. I didn't know I was supposed to.

:shrug: I got it off the CNN site.

[paineinthearse]

10. It's a joke, like "he forgot Poland"

In this case our information preceeded CNN, and when the CNN information made it to the net it qualified as LBN.

15. Session's talking , but he must be on another planet.

16. best quote of the hearing so far

"there are many safeguards that people choose to ignore."
gonzalez

[Skidmore]

17. Gonzalez is an evil, ignorant little man.

I don't see brilliant lawyer anywhere in him. He's considered brilliant by those whose bidding he does. Have you noticed his closed body language? That guy is lying through his teeth.
