I detest Trump more than I ever thought I could detest anyone - especially at this age when I should be ignoring this crap. That said, unnecessary hostility in public hearings is childish and counterproductive to the point of the hearing - which is to get information - complete information.
Angus King was fine. Harris far from it, imo. She was unnecessarily badgering and rude in not allowing Sessions a complete answer. I noticed this also in the hearings when she went after Kelly and Coats. She needs to shut her mouth and listen. The point of her questions was completely lost in her rudeness and interruptions from the chair telling her to behave - at both hearings. What was it she asked again??? And, then allowed no one to answer? I don't remember.
Allowing complete answers would have been far more constructive and enlightening than her showboat badgering.
The Democrats can't afford to alienate the public. In my view, Harris did herself and her party far more harm than good - today and last week.
As far as Sessions, his testimony was as useless as I expected it to be. He invoked presidential privilege when it was not his to invoke. He's a Trump sycophant and bootlicker whose first loyalty is to Trump - not the rule of law, and certainly not the country. He, too, is a liar and dissembler.

No sir, that is completely incorrect.
It is the president who is charged with keeping the country on an even keel and staying focused on his goals.
Trump has placed our country in its precarious position - all because he has a deepseated need to lie and bully.
He wakes up every day looking for a fight and brings these crises on himself.
Trump cares not a whit about Russian interference in the election - which is a VERY BIG DEAL. Next time they will be hacking the voting machines without paper ballots - if they haven't done so, already. Imo, they have - but FBI and other agencies won't publicly admit to it because to do so would delegitimize Trump and the public's confidence in our election process.
Further,
Trump cares not a whit whether what he says is true or false. In reality, he doesn't know the difference. Trump has recklessly spoken and tweeted
THOUSANDS OF LIES for the past 18 months causing huge consternation in this country. Trump is downright frightening in his fantasies and the alternative facts he foists on the citizens of this country daily.
He is the one keeping the country off-balance.
Trump's problems are ALL ON HIM - and have nothing to do with the press which merely reports his ACTUAL WORDS and TWEETS.
Or, are you suggesting Trump's spoken and tweeted words should be ignored? He is the President of the United States, after all.
His words DO MATTER.
