Sen. Blumenthal asks Trump nominee for US Court of Appeals, Daniel Traynor, "Was the Capital attacked on Jan. 6th?"

[red dog 1]

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6?

TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it

B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

[The Roux Comes First]

1. Cowardice Compounded by Idiocy is Not the Best Look for a Judicial Candidate!

2. Great questioning, Sen. Blumenthal. Why can't Traynor just admit that he's been told what to say?

Wouldn't that be a refreshing comeback? One already-life-time judge, up for a "promotion", being honest?

I think it shows how malleable many, many people are in when faced with power and threats.

3. Good point

“Were you coached to respond with that answer?”

7. There are others who refuse to answer this question

It's really so simple but guess trump tells them not to

[BaronChocula]

4. It's disqualifying

if a judge is unable to identify lawlessness. Plain and simple.

5. Time to stop being squeamish

Subpoena every one of the Federalist Society trash in the Federal judiciary and get them to answer this under oath.

[Passages]

6. Senator Blumenthal is always prepared, & always dignified when he goes in for the slaughter too.

[Cha]

8. Good Question! Traynor is not going to

characterize it"? ".. troubling.."?

Because he's a damn chickeshit PEDO supporting Cespool.
