The witness is trying to avoid answering hard questions, so he falls back on not discussing ongoing policy decisions. The same excuse the FBI and DOJ use to avoid admitting their failings.

WHY AREN'T THESE CORRUPT OFFICIALS IN

[DuckofFail]

Someone please give me one example of an Executive Branch agency that isn't openly demonstrating rampant corruption and action directly against the interests of the People of the United States.

[PreparedOverlander]

If these people dont have to answer questions from sitting members of Congress, there is no oversight. Congress is a worthless organization these days because they cant bring charges without help from the executive branch, which are the ones who refuse to answer. All Congress is for these days is to write checks so the executive branch can keep refusing to answer questions.

[JarodRusso]

I am praying for health and long life for you, Ted.

[charlesdyer]

These people should be jailed for not doing the job they were put in power to do !

[rsisente]

The arrogance shown, time and again by people testifying in front of congress, is proof how little they fear, and how little congress posses, any power to do anything.

[robertfarrow]

There needs to be MPs, sheriffs and Police dragging these liars out of the Senate and Congress to jail on no bail until the court trial. Thats what is needed. All we get is talk.

[ocdoncd]

We have to get these people out of power, this is our country and the corruption has to stop.

[darlaasbill]

We agree with you dear Senator. Thank you for being a man of integrity and honor. This can’t be said for our so called leader.

[TheSkunkRadioShow]

takes FOREVER to get anything done. I show up to work late 1 time. I'm fired. Make this make sense.

[morphanok]

This government has become absolutely out of control.

[rjb]

All of a sudden it's "pending sanctions". They can never give a straight answer. He's good at passing the buck.

[KingJeremy]

It's always those yes or no questions that they refuse to answer

[susanfaulkner]

If George Washington were here, he'd be angry beyond words, to witness what this country has become! Yes indeed!!!!

[sherryowenby]

This is downright terrifying for America!

[tonynovak]

I am sick of people not answering questions.
Put them in Jail

[RogerClubv]

We need term limits for all politicians including judges. Everything is so fixed in our government. All freaking BS. It's no wonder why everything is always so chaotic. That's no way to run a country.

[kathleenvizedom]

Why why are these employees of the American puplic allowed to never answer questions presented by our elected officials. Needs to stop or theyneed to be fired

[janthieme]

Heartbreaking what goes on in Washington, 😢
