"You don't tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer. Not even a lawyer."
"You're about as good of a lawyer today as you were when you tried to impeach President Trump,"
"Your time is up,"
The Attorney General erupted during a four-and-a-half-hour oversight hearing, leveling personal insults at committee members and refusing to answer questions. The hearing quickly devolved into a partisan spectacle driven by aggressive rhetoric and whataboutism that deflected inquiries and blocked substantive accountability. The Attorney General interrupted lawmakers, dismissed legal credentials, and curtailed questioning to prevent detailed exchanges. Members of Congress could not obtain facts or present serious legal arguments. The pattern of confrontational hearings produces viral moments and preserves defensive postures that shield executive actions from effective oversight.
