Idiot Dianne Feinswine says she doesn’t like it when testifiers say bad things about the Obama Administration. In other words, “STFU”.

I tried to watch this yesterday and got so disgusted I had to quit, I’ll try again today but I now know this is all for nought she will be confirmed, she does not answer directly the Dems play the race card in her questioning and so the republicans will cower.

Not a single person on the panel has the guts to oppose Lynch. That includes Sharyl Attkisson, Sheriff David Clarke, the CATO Institute legal weenie and Catherine Engelbrecht who has been raked over the coals by the DOJ.

No one opposes this woman who was nominated because she is a black woman who scrapes and bows before Obama.

Sounds like the questioning might be much tougher with the panel they have now, although it looks like Lynch will not be questioned today, that alone will make it worth while.

Sen. Jeff Sessions is attacking Lynch’s position on illegals’ right to work. He is making it clear that her position VIOLATES THE LAW. Thank God for Sessions!

It’s nice to see AMERICANS in the room for a change, being given a voice in a high-profile way. Attkisson, Engelbrecht, Clarke, etc.. Senator Jeff Sessions was on fire! Awesome.

I learned yesterday that she is good friends with Holder’s wife and they formed an African American sorority in college together. Looks like she was hand picked by Holder.

I don’t see where this guy Barlow adds anything, he just piles accolades on Lynch, with mostly general comments nothing specific.

John Cornyn took a swipe at Whitehouse who was on his high horse about poor Holder not being there to defend himself. Cornyn rehearsed what Sharyl Attkisson had said and tsk, tsked a few times. This hearing is a joke and indicative of the hoary, hidebound uselessness of the Senate.

Let's not expect anything from the supposed new GOP Seante majority.

Ted Cruz apologizes for comments by Sen. Whitehouse(I think—said Senator from RI) about the panel being a bunch of conspiracy folks.

Cruz asks panel—how does it feel to be targeted by your government for persecution?

Catherine Engelbracht replies.

Cruz asks CE—do you feel truth has been found about the IRS scandal?

CE says absolutely not—I still don’t have the classification.

Cruz says he asked Lynch about appointing a special prosecutor, to which Lynch said “no” yesterday.

Prof Rosenkranz from Georgetown University says targeted prosecution stifles.

CE says the IRS is the most feared agency in the nation, maybe in the world.

Cruz talks about the pattern of lawlessness about this Administration.

Cruz addresses Jonathan Turley—thanks him for his courage and speaking out.

My guess is the republican leadership has already coerced the number of votes needed to pass Lynch, they don’t want to be accused of racism, if the vote is very close you can affirm that is the case and the power of the Dino/Rino party will be once again be confirmed.

Clarke should be the one nominated as Attorney General, he clearly understands JUSTICE!

Actual exchange ...

John Cornyn: Are you Eric Holder?

Loretta Lynch: No.
