Anyone paying attention to this Mueller hearing? What a joke. Amazing how often Mueller needs the question repeated and/or "won't speak on that" when the Pubs ask him a tough question.
Also, all these guys on both sides just want to get their preplanned statements on the record. They don't even listen to the answers to make intelligent follow-ups.
I do bankruptcy, and my boss just recently testified before Congress on an issue related to that.
It was the same. A bunch of politicians grandstanded, made their statements about how "capitalism takes advantage of the unprivileged in this counry" (or otherwise insert alleged disfavored demographic), and no one asked my boss, who is basically a genius, a single pertinent or interesting question.
None of those Congresspeople even have the slightest clue about what the US Code says about bankruptcy or it's more complicated nuances. They understand only the very, very basics. Because these Congresspeople aren't educated; they are the leftovers of society who look good in suits, but cannot offer anything to actual industry. They have risen to the level of their own incompetence and stopped; which is why they aren't CEOs or business leaders or owners of their own companies themselves. It was a pathetic showing all around.
I have no doubt the Mueller hearing, which I did not listen to, was the same.
