Yes, there’s another Congressional hearing today, this one, at 10 AM ET, is held by the Senate Judiciary Committee where the Department of Justice’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, will testify about his recent report on the origins of the Russia investigation.
Horowitz’s report has debunked the right-wing conspiracy theory that the Russia investigation was not properly predicated. But Trump stooge William Barr, posing as the U.S. attorney general, quickly moved to undermine the findings.
So today’s hearing has import, especially within the context of the impeachment process.

There’s another hearing tonight, the “mark up” of the articles of impeachment by the Judiciary Committee. I have to say the Democratic speeches are amazing. The Republicans’ not so much.
So far, I’ve only heard one Republican speaker make what seemed like an honorable argument: Martha Roby. I don’t agree with it but it was, as the lawyers I used to work with said, colorable.

This isn’t directly related to Lindsey Graham’s fall into the abyss of a false Trumpian reality but indirectly is. Read an article in Wired of all places that Fox News’ Orwellian propaganda threatens national security.

In the case of Lindsey Graham this is a symbiotic relationship. He turns to Fox News to know what to say. In the Senate he does what he does so his behavior is fit to earn a positive Fox News review. All to appease Trump’s rabidly sycophantic voter base, Fox’s audience.

I missed Klobuchar and Booker, apparently, was absent.

I am especially interested in hearing what our three presidential candidates ask and say. I’m assuming they are there. I’ve been listening more than watching.

I thought Whitehouse and Durbin asked good questions, though.

truman, I’m sure you’re right but he should have enough patriotism, especially for someone whose brand is patriotism, to put country over his personal self-interest.

I had to turn the TV off while Lindsey Graham was talking. It was so upsetting to see what he has lowered himself to that my only consolation was to go donate money to Jaime Harrison, Graham’s 2020 Democratic opponent. I just had an expensive home repair and I’m a bit strapped but getting this Turncoat Trumper out of office is almost s important as the Putin puppet.
