Trump administrations new way of answering questions asked during hearings, attack!

[WisconIndependent]

The House and the Senate during recently called hearing have been met with a new tactic by the Trump Administration. These hearing are called to get the Trump administration to answer questions by the committees. Now instead of answering the questions asked by the committee members, especially those of the Dems, instead of answering the questions they make personal attacks on the committee members bringing up supposedly misdeeds by the members. It does not seem to be working because the members seem to even bear down even more on the questions asked, but it seems to throw off the audience watching the hearings. Of course, a problem with this tactic is that if you just make up something or get it wrong you can be sued for defamation and apparently there is one Dem congressman contemplating doing just that. This seems to be more of a tactic used by those who see themselves as people who are above answering question and those who belong to autocratic rulers.

Didn't The Administration indict Comey for lying to Congress?

Are they going to have to start indicting members of The Administration for the same thing?

The "administration" is above the law.

This is true. And, it's driving the Dems nuts.

They aren't used to it. They think they can do all the attacking they want in their legislative chambers without any attacks in return. Well, that's over. If they attack someone, they will get hit right back.

Would the Attorney General lie?

 

[bullseyelqcs]

Would the Attorney General lie?

Well, she DID type it, so I can't ask if her lips were moving. Otherwise, the answer would be obvious....the loophole being that if she is like me and talks while she types, then I would still assume it was bullshit.

Thanks for the laugh.

All three of the recent indictments of Trumps "enemies" are for things that current Trump Administration officials have done and have done worse.

So, you are saying that we can no longer question anything that the Trump Administration is doing or they get attacked? Sounds like you are okay with autocratic rule coming to this country.

You can do whatever you want, but when some congressional committee calls someone in to answer questions...and then all the Dem Congresspeople do is attack the person, well...they can now expect to be attacked in return.

I can se how asking for the truth would feel like an attack to a liar

In chambers both sides do it depending who sits in the White House.

When a witness dodges the question with an attack makes some wonder what are they hiding. Just answer the question asked.

With the Dems, at least, most times there isn't even a question until after the Congressperson is done attacking the witness. The Trump people aren't putting up with that shit anymore.

Especially when they have things to hide...and Trump's cabinet members are racking those up on the daily.

shrug.
your bias is showning. Acknowledge that the Republicans have done the same in the past, or is it TDS (Trump Defense Syndrome)?

You are correct. The Republicans do it, too. But...you are still deflecting.

This thread isn't about the Republicans. It's about the Democrats.

Deflection rejected!

Bye.

Deflection noted

Yeah. We saw that with Bondi.

RFKrazy tried that tactic and failed miserably (like everything else in his life).

Do not question his MAGA masters. It upsets him.

You must've only read the Trump-approved version of the recent Bondi/Congress chat.

I don't read "versions". I watch videos and come up with my own version.
