Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared before a Senate committee, where he faced a colorful array of questions on everything from the federal investigation into Hunter Biden to the sale of deadly drugs, Taylor Swift tickets and FBI investigations. CNN’s Paula Reid reports. #CNN #News
Takeaways from Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing
The current Senate is a joke. 😅 Kangaroo court man. Run Away Hawley, Gymmy Jordan, Coward McCarthy, new divorcee Psycho Greene, Cancun Cruz, etc. 🤣
@Marc Lucido Typical American, today, who doesn’t know any civics.
@GoryOrator heeheeheeheeheeeheehee
@Yvonne Plant Yeah it is kind of sad. I am glad you caught it as well though, good on you. 🙂 We have a lot more issues nowadays than just simple civics though. We literally can’t even define what a woman is anymore. My generation has some serious issues. 😂
@Eunice De Souza
It wasn’t anything like a boxing match.
It was more like Republicans were Ray Rice
and Merrick Garland was his wife.
They totally B-slapped him down.
It was bad.
I’m for oversight but this is just turning into bullying.
Did you say that Justice Kavanaugh’s hearing?
I doubt it….
Why can’t they just ‘be best’?
Did you watch the hearing or just the CNN snippet?
As a non American asking – are they being sarcastic when they say this hearing has a lot of substance?
Not really, but also yes. As a country that votes for ppl. Will it affect my actual gov, no. But the facts are allowed for us norm citizens and we will vote based on things our gov has done.
@Paul Lovett I follow the us politica intensely but I could not tell if they were sarcastic or not as only fox is really known outside of the us to be republicans for absolutely sure. CNN is sort of at the edge of falling into the abyss but have not yet it seems!?
@Keith Canfield yea I understand this – yet it can be tough to tell what they mean to say every now and then. Only on msnbc I can easily tell that they are very sarcastic when saying anything nice about the republicans and trump 😂
@kay armstrong I see… I thought honestly they were amongst the well informed along with other lefties 🤷🏼 thanks for telling me the truth.
How does Hawley remain on the floor?
@Andy Welsh Because he’s very smart!
How is Aoc on the floor?
We need someone who has the courage to stare down the barrel of a gun and say “go ahead do it, pull the trigger “.
Punk
That would be foolish. “Better to be a live dog than a dead lion.”
You didn’t make it clear which end of the barrel..
The thing is, everytime Garland answers or attempts to answer, Cancruz, Coward Hawley and so on suddenly went on the defensive giving their own games away.
@John Daigon Julius I rarely watch Fox. I watch CONGRESS! Do you? Or do you rely on CNN snippets??? lol…. P.S. Sometimes some of them interrupt but it’s because Garland talks as slowly as a snail and they are limited in time, unfortunately!
@John Daigon Julius I’m voting DeSantis 2024!
The tactic of asking a negatively framed question and immediately interrupting the answer is common practice amongst those who want the answers to stay hidden. Afterwards the questioners will claim that there was plenty of opportunity for the answers to be heard and it’s the other party’s fault for not speaking up. It’s aggressive cowardice.
@Jason Boyce Watch the Congressional hearings and you will draw a different conclusion!
Ted Cancun and Josh Hallway are incredibly aggressive and disrespectful
Great work on the selective/performative outrage Hawley and Cruz
Thats all it was.
Yes, now we know hawley can run fast and act.
Did you actually watch the hearing??????
@kay armstrong no, soundbites are all they watch
MY takeaway was that ALL the GOP Senators were grandstanding goofballs, trying to gaslight Americans..
The politics of spectacle.
Holy crap, the Attorney General of the US managed to sneak in a Taylor Swift song title into his answer. 😂 Not the world’s most important thing, but pretty clever
It was stupid. I can’t even imagine him at her concerts.
Cringe
@Nera Kar lol ok
Total faith in Garland 💙
ME TOO!
Blind
Not Me. Garland is protecting Hunter and Joe! I watched the hearings.
@Susie B WHY??
Usain Bolt was last seen trying to catch up to Josh (I’m outta here) Hawley
He would do well if we had another Waco🔥🔥🔥
“GIVE ME AN ANSWER.”
*starts to answer*
“SO THE ANSWER IS NO!!!” Rudely talking over him.
Yeah, they gotta interrupt him before he responds…the truth would certainly make their questions appear asinine.
Without question this is political theater. Those republicans are trying so hard to find a reason to shame and belittle the AG.
@Lawn Chair Why are you afraid for Garland to investigate Joe and Hunter??
Cruz and The Runner is truly embarrassing
This hearing reminded me of Sgt Schultz of “Hogan’s Heroes”…..”I know nothing”….LOL
Try watching the actual hearing. I would know nothing too if I depended on CNN.
Professional lawyers are really good at making their opinions look like the truth
I wonder could he be charged with a crime if he’s caught lying like everybody else does we’ll have to set back and see
Merrick Garland is one of the adults in the room. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruze are like spoilt little children. Keep up the good work, Merrick! Justice is coming. Accountability is coming. Indictments are coming!
