Jamie Raskin

I mean, it was just deranged.

I mean, she was clearly playing for Donald Trump, as a lot of my colleagues were, but it's playing terribly around the world and around the country.

And so I guess that's the question.

I mean, this is always the question for people who have an authoritarian mindset, which is, is it enough just to keep your loyalists with you?

And then when it comes to things like

the truth and justice and elections, you'll corrupt them, you'll steal them, you'll lie and so on.

I mean, we're getting to the end of the road with these people.

That would be the role of the chair.

But of course, the Republicans are just going to cave in and capitulate to a witness like this and let them run amok.

So I decided, yes, maybe I will have the gavel in 10 months and I'm going to start practicing by acting like a real chair.

and saying, stop the clock.

The witness is filibustering.

That should not come off of our time.

She can filibuster all day, but don't deduct that from our time.

We only get five minutes.

I had asked Chairman Jordan whether we could have a second round.

So we'd have 10 minutes or a third round, 15 minutes.

I mean, that would barely scratch the surface of the corruption and the lawlessness that pervade the Trump administration and the Department of Justice now.

But

With only five minutes, we couldn't afford to have her devour our time.
