It was a Democrat caught stating the obvious, not a Republican caught admitting the obvious.
Anyone else feel like the article really didn't want to mention that part?
Honestly, I wish more news sites would refrain from naming party affiliation. It forces people to think of the content of the statements first.
Content is lost without context.
"Eat your dick" means something very different if you're sitting in front of a pudding.
Or in front of a guy named Richard.
Wait that kinda got a way from me, I can't tell if I made a sex or cannibalism joke
What if I told you it's an inclusive or.
Was it a democratic though?? I don't think it was. It mentions a conversation from someone to a democrat, but with no context as to why. Then says "it's unclear who" actually had the hot mic.
Anyway, it's a garbage article. Although the headline of the article and this post are different too so that may have thrown us off.
Yes, It was Dan Goldman. it’s in the article and the excerpt OP posted above.
Your MAGATS Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn't Stop To Think If They Should
Pshaw, the voters might just be ignorant idiots, buy most of the law makers know full well how dumb this sort of bullshit is - there's a long tradition of this sort of buffonery that predates maga... The Benghazi hearings was an absolute clown show.
Granted, there are a few lawmakers that seem to have genuinely drunk the kool-aid and those fucks are scary.
It really is. So, in their effort to besmirch President Biden, the Republicans have managed to reveal the fact that then AG Bill Barr actively covered up the crimes he knew then-President Trump was committing, and that Congressman Pete Sessions, then Congressman Devin Nunes, Senators Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham as well as John Solomon and Sean Hannity over at Fox, were all in on the plot to push a false narrative to deceive the American public ahead of the 2020 election. Nothing on Biden, though.
You mean "Russian Asset Devin Nunes"? ;)

"The intelligence community, for instance, assessed that Putin "had purview over" the activities of Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach, who played a prominent role in advancing the misleading narrative alleging corruption between Biden and Ukraine. [Rudy Giuliani] met with Derkach, whom the United States has sanctioned as an "active" Russian agent, in Ukraine and in the United States in 2019 and 2020"
Followed by:
"It was against this backdrop that Maloney spoke yesterday to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace and said, "[T]he fact is that [Russian operatives] were so comfortable using people like Devin Nunes that Andriy Derkach -- a known Russian asset -- sent information to Devin Nunes at the Intelligence Committee. We literally had the package receipt.""
The clip is just chaos, lol. People milling about, clerk's not present to take a vote, and papers thrown everywhere lol. These idiots couldn't run a popsicle stand.
Of course not, everyone knows that the Dems have the best popsicle flavors
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An apparently frustrated GOP-led committee heard testimony from a variety of witnesses who have more or less confirmed their so-far failed efforts to support evidence of any corruption.
Rep James Comer, the committee chair, told Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the panel, that he was “out of order,” banged his gavel, and said, “We are in suspension here until the clerk comes so we can take the vote that your side of the aisle requested.”
Earlier in the day, Massachusetts Democratic Rep Stephen Lynch, a decades-long member of the Oversight Committee, told Republicans that so far, “You’ve actually provided more evidence to impeach Donald Trump for a third time than you have in so much as laying a glove on Joe Biden.”
Earlier this month, Mr Comer invited Hunter Biden and his associates to testify before the committee.
Former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas also testified, saying he was “witness to numerous efforts to prove that Joe and Hunter Biden were linked to corruption in Ukraine.” Mr Parnas said that after travelling around the world for a year — as he was tasked to do by Mr Giuliani — he found “precisely zero evidence of the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine.”
Last month, the arrest of FBI informant Alexander Smirnov poked a sizeable hole in the Republicans’ impeachment inquiry.
