Today’s circus hearings have now begun at fever pitch. From Booker to Durbin to Feinstein to Blumenthal and others. It apparently is acceptable practice for the Democrats to violate attorney client privilege, if that attorney works in a Republican administration. Claiming that President Bush’s attorney has no right to withhold privileged documents, because he had worked for the nominee.
The Senator from North Carolina, a Republican, seemed to achieve absolute silence from the Democrats, when he asked that if they are forgoing attorney client privilege that all the Senators release all of their e-mails in a gesture of transparency. Booker’s grandstanding in these hearings are an obvious attempt to get air time for his aspirational bid for the Presidency.
Anyone that would think that is a good idea to put this moron in the highest office in the land needs to get an M.R.I. of their brain because there must be some anomaly. Booker’s release of confidential documents indicates he clearly has no respect for the Senate confidentiality rules. What would make a person think he would respect those same rules as president? Rules aren’t rules if there is no consequence for breaking them. Senator Cornyn quoted the rule directly to Senator Booker, and in an arrogant defiance of said rules, Booker said “bring it” to challenge anyone that would hold him to account.
I hope that at least one Republican Senator adheres to the rules and challenges Mr. Booker. Oh, and by the way one of the penalties is expulsion from the senate, however, it would need a ⅔ majority to do so.
