Jump to 2 hours and 41 minutes into Ashcrofts Testimony.

Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 02:03 PM by trumad

and watch the next 5 minutes of Testimony...

Durbin was incredible and Ashcroft was befuddled...

1. The Republicans on that committee are aiding and abetting...

contempt of Congress by Ashcroft. What a lying POS he is!

3. I caught that ... somehow missed almost all of the hearing... but caught

that interchange. Durbin seemed absolutely dumbfounded at first... and then increasingly enraged at Ashcroft's response and the gall taken. Along with intentionally not claiming executive priveledge (which can be challenged in court)... but claiming it via his excuses... when asked if all of the memos not released were "classified"... Ashcroft engages in a lengthy conversation with his aides... and then procedes to ignore the question altogether. Durbin was having none of it.

8. Ashcroft Should Have Been Arrested By The Sargent at Arms At That Moment

And he should have been held until every requested memo was turned over the to committee. AT THAT MOMENT! But it didn't happen, and I fear you might very well come to understand that it was at that exact moment that our Constitution became irrelevent and the end of the Democracy began.
