Bill Taylor who?
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters Wednesday that he has not read Bill Taylor’s explosive 15-page opening statement to Congress, according to the Washington Post. Taylor’s riveting Tuesday testimony recounted texts, phone calls, and meetings supporting the quid pro quo that Trump has repeatedly denied.
“No. I don’t know Bill Taylor from Adam. I know you better than I know Bill Taylor,” Cornyn said, according to the Post. Cornyn insisted that he’s been spending more time on other issues, such as “doing important things, not participating in a sham process over in the House.”
Cornyn added that he isn’t curious about Taylor’s testimony because he believes the impeachment inquiry in general is “just an illegitimate process.”
“It’s completely unfair to House Republicans that can’t participate in the process like they would if it were handled the same way previous impeachment inquiries were handled,” Cornyn said, before airing his grievances over media coverage on leaked testimonies. “The drip, drip, drip of leaked testimony is producing daily news stories like you’re asking me about — is part of their plan, their scheme. And I’m just not gonna — I do not approve.”
Cornyn also denied paying attention to House impeachment proceedings “by an hourly basis or minute by minute.”
Cornyn’s comments came amid House Republicans storming top Pentagon official Laura Cooper’s Wednesday afternoon testimony.
Of course Sen. Cornhole hasn’t read it — Rethugliklans can’t read! They just wait for FAUX Snooze to interpret it for them.
Ostriches. Heads in sand, and knees knocking with fear of what they would see if they looked,
Since the release of the Mueller report, it seems that many repubicans in Congress are intentionally staying uninformed - so that they have an easy dodge when asked questions by reporters or constituents, I think the strategy also indicates that they know its not good. And in some cases, where the indoctrination is Qanon type deep, a belief that nothing true is going to come out because… libtards (or something.)
Liar.
(I’ve lost count, of course.)
Democrats should petition John Roberts to exclude from the Senate trial phase any Senator that has demonstrated the manifest and pronounced inability to impartially sit in judgment of the accused. Start by citing statements such as Cornyn’s.
He probably doesn’t know Benghazi from Eden either but that didn’t stop him there. Or Emails from the Dead Sea Scrolls but he seemed to get that as well.
