Kamala Harris Silenced During Sessions Meeting [VIDEO]
2017-06-14
[Daily Caller] Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris was silenced during the testimony of Attorney General Jeff Sessions when she refused to let him fully answer her questions.

The California senator tried to lock Sessions in a rapid fire question-and-answer style that didn’t allow Sessions to give full answers to her line of questioning.

"Did you consult [Department of Justice policy] before you came before this committee knowing we would ask you questions about it?" Harris asked of Sessions’ assertion that he wouldn’t discuss private conversations with the president.

Sessions tried to answer before Harris cut him off, asking, "Did you ask that it would be shown to you?"

Sessions was clearly becoming frustrated with her inability to let him finish his thoughts, but Harris kept going.

"Did you not ask your staff to show you the policy that would be the basis for your refusing to answer the majority of questions that have been asked of you?"

"Chairman, the witness should be allowed to answer the question," one senator can be heard in the background.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr took the reigns, saying, "Senators will allow the chair to control the hearing. Senator Harris, let him answer."

#11  Sessions appeared the way he always has - an honest, decent, soft spoken yet tough and highly intelligent Southern gentlemen. He knew what Harris was doing and he was not flustered.

#9  Has she no decency?

Of course not. She's a Democrat.

I watched her little performance. She's a real attack dogbitch. Acted like she was prosecuting some two-bit liquor store robber. IMHO, here's what the Dems refused to acknowledge: The president cannot assert executive privilege if his underlings spill the beans before he gets a chance to assert it therefore Sessions was protecting and preserving Trump's right to assert executive privilege by refusing to answer some of the Dems' questions. But they kept trying to make it sound like Sessions was showing contempt. Again, IMHO, if they can ignore simple facts to make something like that sound like contempt or obstruction they'll do it because they've got nothing else. MSM will go along with them by ignoring the simple facts themselves and the sheeple will never know the difference.

#7  This woman has a Hildabeest mean/vindictive streak in her. She and the Dems seem to have POTUS aspirations. Watch out.

#6  Russians under every bed 2017 seems like McCarthyism redux. This time maybe we should call it Harrisism. At the very least she was harassing the witness.

Has she no decency?

#5  Kamala Harris was the one who helped former FBI Director James Comey to fully paint an accurate picture of Donald Trump’s attempted obstruction of justice...

Birds of a feather.

#1  Dems showcase one of their 2020 budding communist hopefuls. Follows is a link to the leftest rag 'Palmer Report' which leaves little doubt the Dem goal is to bring down President Trump:

Amid Donald Trump hearings, Kamala Harris rises into 2020 presidential contention

Excerpt: Harris has only been in the Senate for a few months, meaning she wouldn’t ordinarily be on such a fast track to national prominence. But these aren’t ordinary times. She has a strong resume back in California, including time spent as District Attorney, and then State Attorney General. However, she’s entered the national limelight primarily due to her performance during the hearings into Trump’s Russia scandal.

Kamala Harris was the one who helped former FBI Director James Comey to fully paint an accurate picture of Donald Trump’s attempted obstruction of justice when she pointed out that it doesn’t matter what precise words a robber uses when he’s pointing at gun at you. And yes, Harris was the one who kept her cool and persisted when she was cut off by her male Republican counterpart, in a trend that’s become all too familiar of late.
