LYNCH: Financial services firms…

BESSENT: Well, the Biden Administration…

LYNCH: Sir, please be responsive to my question.

BESSENT: I’m trying, sir, and this back-and-forth is just eating your time. The Biden Administration had an extinction policy for crypto…

LYNCH: This is when Trump came into office. I’m going to go to the next question…Mr. Chariman, the answers have to be responsive if we are going to have a serious hearing.

BESSENT: Well, the questions have to be serious.

LYNCH: Those are 100 dismissals of cases the Trump Administration executed in their first weeks in office

BESSENT: Well, the questions have to be serious.

LYNCH: This is a serious question and a serious issue for the financial services industry…All of a sudden, these crypto cases went away.

This should be a serious question for you. TRUST should be a serious question for the financial services industry!

(To Bessent) No, this is my time! I haven’t asked you any more questions!

Hill: The gentleman from Massachusetts…

LYNCH: I’m trying to get to my next question!

BESSENT: Could you speak a little louder? I can’t hear you.

Congressman: I am going to ask 5 serious questions and I need yes or no answers.

“First Question: ‘yes or no’?”

“Second Question: ‘yes or no’?”

. . .

“Last Question: ‘yes or no’?”

I still respect Bessent for giving Elon Musk a black eye.

That’s a “zinger”?!

It was if you had listened to the exchange.

By the end, Lynch is outright yelling at Bessent.

That's when Bessent says, "Can you speak a little louder? I can't hear you."

That shut Lynch down.

This is why the Clinton’s depositions are going to be held in private setting.
