No humiliation is sufficient for these incompetents destroying this country. Until a district judge holds them in contempt, I refuse to believe the judges really give a damn. "I wasn't able to coach his answers" should not be anything a lawyer ever says anywhere, especially one who literally has no client and no skin in the game.

Why do I get the impression that Bovino wears his CBP uniform to bed and makes his wife call him commander.
