Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) got into a tense back and forth with Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump's nominee to become the nation's top intelligence chief, during Wednesday's Senate confirmation hearing.

Asked who won the 2020 presidential election, Clayton declined to answer directly, deferring to the response he gave on a similar question from Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) earlier in the hearing.

"Yeah, I said ... I'm going to give you the same answer," Clayton responded. "The answer to the chairman was, he asked me if I was an election denier. I am not an election denier. Joe Biden was certified as the president. He went through his process. We went through our electoral process."...........................

2. Ossoff: Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions?

When one has no soul, one can not be humiliated.




Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

Clayton: I’m not going to get into that with you.

10. That was the best comeback I've heard in a very long time.

Every time I look at the news and there's a confirmation hearing the word "contentious " is always in the headlines. I lived through the Watergate hearings actually learned something from grown-ups instead of clowns in the witness chair.

4. After the Oh so important Claytons performance here

I wonder how any Republican can explain their vote for him. Someone should ask them.

5. Why, just why can't these sycophants admit that trump is a loser? Are they willingly refusing to say who won 2020?

7. They will always lie and/or obstruct just to prove they are the lying little toadies that the pedopres want to carry out

his wishes and desires.

8. Slippery as they come; like a greased weasel.

The man has no courage, and no strength; just a sycophant who wants power and authority to pursue his agenda and make a lot of money doing it.
Trusting him to lead the intelligence community is very worrisome indeed.

11. I want the Democrats to use the words "You are a COWARD then for not answering the obvious."

14. I can't decide if I want...

The gloves off or the gloves with rocks inside adding weight to the gravity of the situation.

12. The only reason to refuse to answer that question is because you're an opportunist or you're fucking crazy. Or both.

13. How can anyone watch that exchange and come away with any opinion

Other than that Jon Ossoff is a professional and Jay Clayton is a joke?

Jay Clayton is a revolving door old buy straight out of Bill Barr of the BFEE’s old law firm.

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
