Democrats Walk Out of DOJ Briefing

That’s me behind her. The Democrats on this committee behaved like petulant children and created drama and stormed out. So much for wanting the truth!

HOLY CRAP! Pam Bondi just said a Democrat SCREAMED in the briefing because @cspan cameras weren't in there.

"They screamed C-SPAN wasn't there, one of them, and then they stormed out of the meeting."

… briefing!"

Lee: "But she hasn't offered any information...This is a hearing. This is a hearing without the cameras. This is a hearing without C-SPAN. And it's a hearing without the public. So, what I'm asking is...."

Lee: "I would like C-SPAN. I would like you to bring the transcribers. I would like you to go through with the decorum and with the rules...."

Comer: "Are you trying to find information, or trying to embarrass the attorney general?"

Lee: "Absolutely not. I think the attorney general is a woman who is completely able to defend herself, and I'm not attacking her. I'm questioning you. You run this place. What I'm asking you is....Will you commit to going as far as..."
