It’s nice that this is actually an issue now that angers people. I feel like a lot of thus stuff happened earlier on in the show and no one made a peep.

Your analogy was almost accurate? I mean, why not just say that it was like paying for a tour of Germany during WWII? That would have made sense and it still would have been effective.

Oh, I’m sure they’ve held western people for made-up offenses.

Agreed.

I would think but I am not a healthcare professional either. It is highly unlikely he had any sort of quality medical care while he was in NK.

Yup. So basically this family is getting his body back and a chance to say goodbye. The chances of him making any meaningful recovery would be slim under the best of circumstances.

This poor fucking kid. And before people weigh in with this: Yes he was stupid. Yes his privilege led him To believe that grabbing a poster would be a fun prank. Yes, no sane person not on a jpurnalism or humanitarian mission should go to North Korea.

Oh of course.

Even if he did steal it, that’s no reason to work him to death.

I’m big hater on obnoxious Americans and drunk college students abroad, but I’ll still not convinced Otto stole that sign. The video is so grainy and dark, it could be anyone. The Rodney King video had better resolution!

When you’re young, or I guess the Bible kinda says it too, you’re taught evil is underhanded and seductive. This was a blatant lie it seems and is really disappointing.

Jeff Sessions is not Trump’s personal lawyer! He is the A.G. of the U.S.A. He cannot gesture to some quasi-attorney/client privilege, pass it off as “Justice Dept. custom,” AND also claim future, hypothetical executive privilege for current testimony.

His corn pone replies were purposely long to run out the clock on Democratic senators.

Right? It’s not like it was a mystery what he was going to be asked about.

There’s no Execution chamber phone where the President calls over during questioning to assert privilege. He’s a big boy who knows who is going to testify, and he has to invoke privilege beforehand, not once problematic questions get asked.

That my friends is what a cornered animal looks like. Responding to a question with “you’re not supposed to know about that!” is never a good look.

WTF hearing did you just watch? Our AG looks like an incompetent fool who provided zero legal basis for not answering the questions. He also came after COmey again. Look forward to more FBI leaks to make him and trump look like the fucking shitty people they are.

Also, you can’t “basically” recuse yourself. You either do or you don’t.
