As Gowdy and Cummings publicly spar, here is what Hillary Clinton is doing.

As Gowdy and Cummings publicly spar, here is what Hillary Clinton is doing. (h/t @jbendery)

10:17 AM PT (Barbara Morrill): Cummings' demands that the entire transcript of Sidney Blumenthal be released. Gowdy says we'll do it later, Cummings says the rules allow for a vote right now. Getting heated here.

10:20 AM PT: After Gowdy has ranted extensively about Blumenthal's emails, he acts outraged and offended that Democrats are characterizing the emails as Blumenthal's and continues to refuse a vote on whether to release the transcript of Blumenthal's interview with the committee. We'll get to a vote on whether to release that transcript ... sometime soon, is Gowdy's basic claim. But not now. Certainly not now.

Oh, and as they go to break, he promises much, much more Blumenthal talk to come after the break. Oy.

Maybe Gowdy will cancel the afternoon session seeing how the morning session went not so well....when will the corporate media stop flogging the dead horse of the GOP they keep riding as if it were still alive?

she has other things (like campaigning) to do and this is a huge waste of her time. I mean really, what more could she say that she hasn't already said?
