The most damning part is going to be that Flynn might never have been fired if the Washington Post had not dropped that story.

The US terminology is pretty confusing. I thought "attorney general" is your equivalent of the head of the Posecutor's office as we have, who is considered a part of the judiciary branch and thus doesn't directly respond to anyone in the executive branch and them not defending a government order out of doubts about constitutionality would be seen as a possibly a "checks and balances" kind of move. But in the US, it's more like the "secretary of justice", right? A member of government appointed by the president - then it's less surprising for her to face immediate dismissal after directly opposing the president ...

An AG is the attorney for the executive branch of the government, though not specifically the president’s attorney. They are independent to a degree. A district attorney, or DA is also an attorney for the executive branch, but handles criminal matters. It is the job of an AG to tell the governor or president “you cannot do that.”

That is the free market. There is no privacy there. But the government can’t obtain your personal information when you called someone who is a suspected spy of your own free will. Or more importantly, no one from Obama’s administration can obtain it.

Yes, I can agree with you here Plansix. I would chalk this up to incompetence + having too big of an ego to cut your lossess with respect to trump campaign.
Question.?

Oh Ted Cruz. I forgot he got to be part of this. Of course he is going to ask about the Hillary emails, because that is super relevant.

Special reminder that Graham joked that someone could murder Cruz in front of the full senate and there would be no witnesses willing to testify.

Ted tried to pull that statute that circulated online in all the GOP leaning sites and Yates responded quite nicely.

Now Cruz trying to pull snippets out of context to 'get her' and Yates responds again quite well.

Ted Cruz asking about Hillary's emails was odd. He should probably be asking Trump why Hillary isn't getting prosecuted, not a retired CIA chief.

Yates wasn’t told about the travel ban and found out through media reports. The GOP is not doing Trump any favors by asking these questions.

Also, special points to Cruz for acting out the “but her emails” meme in real time.

If we removed all the politicians that did stupid stuff in hearings like wasting time grandstanding or asking off-topic questions the system would be much better; we wouldn't have anyone in congress
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.
