Well, after wasting taxpayer money and Hope Hicks' time on Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee has released the full transcript of Trump's former communications director's testimony. It largely revealed absolutely nothing new, but it also confirmed what we all already knew -- New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler is an absolute jerk.
In Michael Wolff's now discredited book, 'Fire and Fury,' the author claims that Hicks, one of President Trump's closest allies and a key player in the 2016 campaign, had an on-and-off relationship with Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski who happens to be married.
The supposed affair was never confirmed, but that did not stop Rep. Nadler, while using your tax dollars, to "mistakenly" refer to Ms. Hicks several times as 'Ms. Lewandowski' during the closed-door hearing. Nadler, by the way, is the chairman of this committee and is supposed to be a leader for his colleagues.
On page 12 of the transcript released, Rep. Nadler first called Ms. Hicks the wrong name.
Chairman Nadler. No, sir. Are you asserting any privileges in declining to answer the question?
Mr. Purpura. We are not, Mr. Chairman.
Chairman Nadler. Ms. Lewandowski?
Ms. Hicks. As a former senior adviser to the President, I'm 12 following the instructions from the White House.
Then, on page 20, Rep. Nadler did it again.
Chairman Nadler. Ms. Lewandowski -- sorry -- Ms. Hicks, read the next two sentences also if you have it.
Ms. Hicks. Sure. The President directed that Sessions should give a speech publicly announcing -- the dictated message went on to state.
Finally Hicks, who was supposed to be there to answer questions relating to the Russian investigation, defended herself and corrected Rep. Nadler. On page 25, this interaction happened:
Chairman Nadler. Yeah. Ms. Lewandowski, I think, in reading this --
Ms. Hicks. My name is Ms. Hicks.
Chairman Nadler. I'm sorry, Ms. Hicks. I'm preoccupied.
So there are three things going on here. The first is that Nadler genuinely thought her last name was Lewandowski, in which case he should not be asking questions if he does not even know who he is speaking with. The second is that he was not paying attention and needs assistance focusing. Or the third, and the most likely reason, is that he was simply trying to throw a few jabs to knock Hicks off her game by hinting at her alleged affair. If I were a betting man, I'd take the third option in this scenario which makes Rep. Nadler a total jackwagon.
I’m nine years older than you. Like you, I remember a time when governance was a serious business in this country. The people who put the world back together after WW II and managed through the Cold War were very serious and both parties generally had the best interests of the US at heart. No longer.
C’mon, GOP. Some one has to have some real deep dirt on Nadler. Time to release the dogs!
Preoccupied?
Perhaps you should be someplace else, Nads.
It almost seems inevitable. That the only way forward with the jerks that have come to infest this country’s government is to start grabbing and holding up, tuning them up, scaring the living krapp out of them for a few days and hoping we’ll get the message. Can anyone say water board?
They require humans of the lowest common denominator to perform a job that requires lying to their colleagues, the media and their constituents on a regular basis.
They are not required to have intelligence or leadership skills. They are sucking off the taxpayers' collective teats. They are legal con men. They are dishonest at best and outright thieves at worst.
They are usually ranked below their fellow shysters, used car salesmen, as the least trustworthy profession.
It's been this way as far back as there were politicians.
I was listening to Rush in the car one day not long ago and he was also lamenting the lack of quality in our elected officials. He said he was literally depressed at how so many of them were simply bad players whose primary goals were to get rich and powerful themselves, without any regard for policies or their voters.
They're in it for themselves. Many are in it as a career. Get in, get rich and then get out. Set for life.
Well done....I just wanted to call him names that would have gotten me thrown off FR.
You summed it up well with that meme.
You may want to check out the entire story.
Her response should have been: “F-— you, you rotten, fat, son ofa B..... Until you get my name right, I’m done here.” And got up and left.
Fatboy was preoccupied with the 14 buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken he had hidden under his podium.
He meant to say Lewinski but he is so addled that he could not even remember his lines

#2. Re Nadler and “I’m preoccupied”. Well during his questioning of Ms. Hicks, his hands were “preoccupied” below his desk. Wonder who the poor bastard is who is going to clean up later.
Tree
Rope
Old Nads
That would be one way Nads dropped, making him finally a man.
she should have called him Congress member fat ass.
So...he’s a GOOP member.
She should have called him Chairman Fatler for the remainder of the hearing.
Hicks won’t show up again.
It is because they dated. Nadler was disrespectful.
There are threads on FR all the time where men think women should be barefoot and pregnant. There was a thread earlier today.
Ms. Hicks. My name is Ms. Hicks.
Chairman Nadler. I'm sorry, Ms. Hicks. I'm preoccupied.
The Dark Side of the Force is strong with this Nadler it is....
Kudo's for having the grace to respond in such a restrained fashion as Ms Hicks did. I am so sick of the Democratically Controlled Congresses various Goat Rodeo's when they are not legislating and at least working with the President on a modicum of common goals, aka, infrastructure, energy paradigm shift to Nuclear, things that take the politics out of everything in our lives, of which they are guilty for. Instead we get this Douche-Nozzle-ification ( Thank you LS for the "DN" term ) from Nadler, via this attempted show trial.
Is this what our founders trudged threw the snow for without boots with Washington for? Is this what our bravest fought for at Normandy? Can the people of NY perform a political cranal-rectal-otomy and fire this representative in the next election cycle because he is an embarassment? Or have they lost embarassment as a human reaction? Is this what the citizens of Rome felt as they watched the empire decline?
No, Fats. I did not have sex with that man
