Trying to watch live on C-Span 3 but the video freeze up then advances every so often. The sound continues to be played with the video catching up every so often for a brief second or less.
any other video source available?
cspan has made this unwatchable.
The fix is in; from the kabuki-Issa-Cummings nonsense,
to the total loss of justice from the joke known as the
DO”J”.
The America of centuries, characterized by
bravery, honor and justice is GONE.
DEAD.

Throw this guys butt in jail!
Why are they putting up with this guy? Do they have the power to go and take her computers?
Jim Jordan is great!
I’m not just angry about what the left is doing like this witness. I’m angry that the republicans are putting up with this! Why are they not setting a time frame for him to get these emails back? Can’t they send police to take these computers? This is not a game. Since we’ve been personally audited, I take this personal.
Question for anyone who has listened to this farce from the get-go:
Did we ever hear the IRS rationale for the need to redact the E-mails?
The actual rationale is, of course, the obvious need to protect O and Louis Lerner at all costs.
Great we get an emergency alert test. Anything happen?
