The last thing we need is the questioners getting into a "I'm more outraged than you" contest. The hearings should be interesting, but I highly doubt anything concrete will result from them. It will probably be just more he-said she-said stuff. And libs have already written off the testifiers as liars, right wing hacks, and, of course, racists. And look for the media to 'Gosnell' the hearings.

“Your country thanks you for having the courage to come forward to speak the truth. My first question is .......”

That should be the extent of “comments”.

[Signalman]

“Let them speak and don’t cut them off.”

I wish O’reilly and Hannity would follow that advice.

Asking a politician to NOT grandstand is like asking a rattlesnake not to rattle his tail.
Grandstanding is in their DNA. So we need to be prepared for emoting emotions worthy of Hollywood. I would even propose a tear pool for the first one to actually cry. My choice is Peter King, if he is on the panel.

As to the those testifying on behalf of the regime, the GOPers need to be as tough as possible, not let them get away with non-answers, and get under their skin. Liberals have a vey low tolderance for anybody questioning their motives. They will eventually crack and show their true colors. IOW, forget being gentlemen. Be attack dogs.

There is plenty of real outrage to be had here, we have no need to play any fake or exaggerated outrage.
Especially if any Republican says something that *can* be refuted, then everything else will by extension be republican hyperbole according the leftist press.
Low key but surgical precision would be best.

[skeeter]

I wouldn't mind some succinct, plain spoken analysis of the testimony.

Even if such commentary offends the media.

Otherwise the only people who will know what actually went on will be you and I.

[SeminoleCounty]

Like Dems will not make self serving comments.....

Sounds like again we have a liberal RINO rag telling conservatives to “quiet down”

Dems and liberals play dirty. Its time to grow some and realize it. Grow some and impeach the Kenya Muslim.

Showboating.

This is a ‘code word’ for Broadway, which is a ‘code word’ for gay bashing.

Which of course is hate as expressed by Repubs.

[Casie]

I EXPECT the administration to be clearly accused of a serious and reproachable COVER UP. I want to hear again and again how Obama/Clinton/Rice exclaimed "You Tube video did it!" like lying sniveling 5 year olds desperate to hide their guilt. And if Republicans want to pile on the outrage, and shame Dems into pulling their punches (even just a little tiny bit) I say go for it!

The last thing I would want to do is censor anyone's attack on this administration. If they have the balls to fight Obama/Clinton, I will support them!

[[No Showboating at the Benghazi Hearings, Please]]

Sure, as long as dfear leader and ilk don’t trott out the victim’s families from Sandy Hook to try to tug at the heartstrings of Aemrica for political purposes and to try to ban guns- oh wait- that’s already happened

“And look for the media to ‘Gosnell’ the hearings.”

Gosnell, MSM blackout of a significant event.

Should be added to the FR Dictinary.

[Toespi]

Otherwise, be kind, gentle, and respect the Democrats. Don’t ask questions that could embarrass or accuse the Obama administration.

[Baynative]

I don’t know if the hearings will be conducted in the house of in the senate. If they are in the senate, it probably won’t mean squat. If they are in the house we might see some serious fireworks.

[Dick Bachert]

You can trust the Dems to endlessly bloviate to suck up as much time with their BS as possible.

I just PRAY the pubbies DO NOT BLOVIATE but ask POINTED and PITHY QUESTIONS THEN SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET THE WITNESSES TESTIFY, followed BY OTHER POINTED, PITHY QUESTIONS TO BUTTRESS THE TESTIMONY!

This country CANNOT survive another full term of this BADMINISTRATION. HE’S GOT TO GO and TAKE HILLARY WITH HIM.

(Sorry for the shouting but this could be the big one.)

[MestaMachine]

It is my understanding that the Republicans have coordinated a strategy for avoiding grandstanding, but I guess we'll see.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

To the GOP committee members, don't make statements, ask questions. Keep on asking the question until it's answered. Listen to the answers and be prepared to bore down and followup. If you are unable to be concise, hand off your time to a committee member who knows how the heck to interrogate a witness. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

And, more importantly, what are these outraged investigators going to do about it when they find out that lives were unneccesarily sacrificed because of Hillary’s negligence?

Anybody can be outraged or claim to be.

[EDINVA]

Do you remember the Iran-Contra hearings and how the Dems had really primed the pump to take down Ollie North and, through him, Reagan? Oh, how they preened! THEN Col. North appeared and it was a take-down of beauty. A quarter century later I still chuckle when I think of it!

I agree wholeheartedly with this warning to the Congressmen. Shut up and let the witnesses be the story. You can get your ‘glory’ later. Pray God, they listen.
