- What color is the sky?
- It says and I quote "the sky is blue".
- So what is your response?
- I'll have to talk to the lawyers.

God, I miss integrity, intelligence, honor, stability, confidence, faith, compassion, prosperity, strength. 😒

@followdatruth

In the real world, when an applicant does not know what their job is, they are not hired.

@markmcclellan8421

Every one of Trumps picks has been elusive when asked if they’d do something illegal for the president. Where do these weasels even come from? And his lawyers too! This is fascism pure and simple. We need to be in the streets like they are in Serbia right now.

@MarnieBrennan-v8g

Oh my god this is unbearable......god help us all!

@La-Z-Bri

Ignorance of the law is not a justification for breaking it.

@timothyvalencia4952

He's afraid of Trumps retribution and not afraid of "We the people".

@zsofi1656

If he does not understand he should not be a commissioner !!!

@mbm6351

WHAT IS THIS HELLSCAPE TIMELINE WE'RE IN??

@JaytheOstrich17

When these people say 'Consult with lawyers', they mean 'find sheisters who will say what we want'. They are NOT interested in what the law is at all.

@BILLINGSGATES

This is where our country is. And there are people in America who support this.

@tiburd7

Translation:  "If my lawyers tell me I can revoke someone's tax-exempt status without an audit or investigation, then I'm happy to go ahead and do it."

@d.m.3133

Oh, he’s prepared to break the law.

@aspenrosen3457

Omg. And yet us, the common folk must be accountable and following the law. This is a disaster and disgrace.

@gwenwafer6420

Can’t answer an OPEN BOOK QUESTION with a Yes or No? 
Isn’t qualified for the job.
Next!

@yourblissfuljourney5223

Why didn’t he just say, “I don’t see where it says anything about tax-exempt status,” so they could both move forward and get an answer?

@SylvanFosters

She did so good by starting out by reminding the nominee that she had asked this question before in a closed session, that she had provided him the statute, that he said then that he would consult with a lawyer, and that he has had three weeks to do so. She made it very, very clear that he has no excuse not to be able to answer that question.

@deadpeterdi_4889

WOW, she went almost 2 mins longer than the 5 mins allowed, and wasn't cut off. Everyone there wanted an answer.
Really good to see this kind of simple questioning happen, and as expected still no direct answer given.
What a SH*T Show this is !!
Edit: I'm on the side of E.Warren, she is a fantastic senator. The Chairman also wanted an answer, hence why he gave her almost
2 mins more than just the 5 mins usually allocated. I think she had more questions that she wanted to ask but her time ran out.
What probably would have been her next question, "Do you or anyone else within the IRS going to start an audit on Harvard University" ??

@1lunatist

Under what rocks do they find these idiots? Totally clueless.

@shirleecurry9006

GO GET HIM,Mrs.Warren.Don't let him off the hook!!😮
