Watch live on Twitch.tv : Acting AG Whitaker testifies before Congress (stream has started; hearing begins 9:30 AM EST)
- Thread starter Taki
- Start date
God, I love that we get to control the rules of order in these committee hearings. Winning the House was so huge.
Yo, this crook received senate campaign donations from casinos 4 years after his campaign ended.
They seriously need to give a mic cut off button to the representative asking questions. It's ridiculous that whenever a white dude who's never been held accountable in his life doesnt feel like cooperating he simply doesnt have to.
They are still trying to say that there was no family separation policy? This is crazy. Like do we really think they are that stupid? Trump literally said they were using it as a deterrent!
This. The look of "shit, we fucked up" on his face was worth a thousand words.
It's branding baby, it's called zero tolerance and family separation was just an add-on feature

"Your attorneys are prosecuting them, and your Department was not tracking parents who were separated from their children?" Rep. Pramila Jayapal asks Whitaker.
"Do you know what kind of damage has been done to children and families...Do you understand the magnitude of that?"

Jayapal: ARe you saying that CBP and ICE lied to GAO and they were given advanced notice?
BDTS: WE had a public event.
Jayapal: Prior to public event, they got no notice. Did USAs track when prosecuting parents from children?
emptywheel @emptywheel
BDTS: I don't believe we were tracking that.
Jayapal: When parents sentenced they are in DOJ custody, correct?
BDTS: Correct.
[BDTS drinks water, now sitting impassive]
Jayapal: DO you understand magnitude of that?

Twitch is THE platform for this shit imo. Twitch chat was born for this.
