These hearings are all for show. THIS IS THE MOST USELESS CONGRESS AMERICA HAS EVER HAD. THEY NEED TO GET TO FUCKEN WORK FOR THE PEOPLE.

Gaetz: "He made this remarkable downstream career journey from the DOJ in Washington DC and then pops up in Alvin Bragg's office to get Trump." Garland: "I assume he applied for a job there and got the job. I had nothing to do with it."

The media must shut up on the “what do you think ?” Stuff. Just report on the events. Let people make their own interpretation.
