(15,182 posts)Maybe it was the editing of the clip, but I found that frustrating. Perhaps she was interrupting them when they were dodging her questions.

(51,755 posts)I'm sick and tired of politicians' nonanswers. Glad she is too.
There's a big difference between not letting a politician answer and not letting him filibuster.

(15,182 posts)It's like those hearings in the House and Senate when the official has only a 5 minute window to ask questions and elicit an answer - spinning BS to use up the time.

Good on Heidi for not letting them get away without looking like the idiots that they are.

(1,824 posts)She is a moral coward.
Still have not gotten a reply from her if she knew Devin Nunes's aide was in contact with Lev Parnas while he was doing all that grandstanding in the House.
Or if she knew what was in John Bolton's manuscript.
Let's get Tedra Cobb across the finish line this time.
Hello to all the other people from NY!

(82,849 posts)I don't know who's who, so I'll give them appropriate names. Moe starts to answer, then stops himself time after time to get all pissy with Przybyla. Then Larry and Curly jump in to try to save Moe. It doesn't go well. They all try to appeal to the other reporters to see if they have any other questions, and the reporters are like, nope, go ahead and answer Przybyla's question. We want to hear the answer, too.

(37,364 posts)Or my fondest wish is a program with MSNBC's women lawyers, Vance, Wiley, McQuaid, (and I'm forgetting one) with Heidi as the investigative/political reporter/commentator. Just think of all the issues and cases that could be brought to the public which are normally buried but are important to the nation.

They all looked and sounded idiotic but my favorite moment was the helpless, "Does anybody else have a question? Anybody?" Ha! The panic was real.

(568 posts)corrupt prosecutor was chased out and he fled to Russia no? Why has this not been brought back up?

(10,117 posts)Former top Mitt Romney adviser Joseph Cofer Black, who publicly goes by Cofer Black, joined Burismas board of directors while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board. If Trump was so concerned about Burisma corruption, why did he not mention Cofer Black, another American serving on the board with Hunter Biden? I think Black is even still on the board. The fact that he has not been mentioned outs the lie to Trumps claim that his extortion of Ukraine was about corruption and not the Bidens.
