Senate confirmation hearings should include polygraphs since most of Trump's nominees for cabinet and SCOTUS were proven to have lied to Congress once they were confirmed. Lying appears to be one of the only things the MAGA GOP does well.
No, they never believed him. He espoused their own desires and goals. They are one and the same, misfits and damaged goods. I think it's really urgent that we stop attributing a sense of normalcy to aberrant people and implying that they have a shred of decency. Please stop.
A key takeaway:
“The suspension is likely to raise questions about whether the move was retaliatory…
“The suspension of Mr. Auten… will also likely intensify distrust of Mr. Patel among employees who have watched senior leaders forced out in recent months with no explanation.”
I did have to Google how to perform this action and it looks a little different on an iPad than an iPhone. But I love the clean layout that reader provides! Even if in this case, I still have a pay wall.
I think you’re being too kind to the Republican senators. I’m pretty sure every single one of them knew he lied, but they no longer support their constituents, democracy, the constitution, or the American people.
Nobody actually believed him. Not a single Senator or pundit. It was all performative nonsense that everyone except the Fox News and Newsmax viewers could see through.
The senate knew he lied and passed him anyway. They all lied and were passed. The scumbags in SCOTUS all lied and were passed. This has been what the right does for as long as I can remember. And the left allows it.
We all told you he lied and he proved us right. He’s a slimy little yes-man to Trump. He has no idea what he’s doing and he is so transparent when he thinks he’s being sneaky.
It’s almost like they willingly let a Yes Man walk into the command chair of the most powerful political weapon our nation ever decided to lose control over
Because: He worked on two major investigations that earned Trump and Patel's ire, including into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.... also reviewing information on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
ALSO: He worked on the Steele Dosier which Trump had to pay £626,000 in legal fees

(though tomato-tomatoes is funny, I’ll give it that)
the Senate CHOSE to believe him

To them, their constituents are *tools*. Not even *human beings*. Just tools to make them filthy rich and filthy powerful.
And too many Democrat Senators share that sentiment.

WTF!
Anyone how has ever been a lead knows that is wrong on every level.
At the end of the day people give that little bit extra when they believe in the organization or the cause.
We are so f&@!? If or when we need our Gov Employees to go the extra mile for anything.

Perhaps that the reason for so many Republicans being LIARS.
