Clearly the Democrats are uncomfortable sitting across from families, who a year later, still have no answers on what happened to their loved ones. The Democrat response to situations exposing truths they don’t like is to walk out. Flashback – Holder Contempt vote over Fast and Furious.
Here’s some of what you walked out on, Democrats:
The full video of the House Oversight committee hearing on 09/19/13 is HERE. The portion of the panel that includes the families testimony is HERE.
Key item that came out of the Oversight hearing was that Hillary Clinton’s top aides (Cheryl Mills and Charlene Lamb) were given a ‘heads up’ and it comes out in the second video below that the ARB report was given to Clinton and Lamb before it was made public.
