Kevin Gafford Ritz did not lie under oath. The compartmentalization and other truth that Kevin omitted, that would otherwise make it plain as day ratting out Wall Street financial terrorism shenanigans that likely gets him suicided and shit, reveal that he is actually not lying, John Kennedy is failing to reveal that blatantly obvious connectable dot whether he is genuinely that incompetent and complacent or if he is pretending to be dumber than he really is, regardless, it's his own mistake-based ridiculousness that he should not be in that position to represent such ridiculous shortcoming in positions that require not to be so incompetent and complacent.

Kennedy is nothing but a clown acting as a goofball in front of cameras. He is wasting taxpayers money and the time of the senate.

Senator Kennedy exposes all the crooks in broad light so that they are recognized in broad light when shopping or hiring a luxury home or asking a loan. That is how transparence works. YT is not the universal panacea but all these hearings serve the purpose to render justice in strange ways: Once you see the crooks you never forget them. Believe me it is better than European Justice where No Judge ever speaks like Senator Kennedy who informs Americans like he was chatting with them in person. YT makes that possible.

Put perfectly. Was going to say virtually the exact same thing until I saw your comment. If you are a judge and you are REMOVED from a case, you're damn sure going to know (or find out) why...and if you don't, why wouldn't you find out? Take hundreds of other professions and it would be similar. So, either he is lying through his teeth under oath or he is so aloof to his job that he does not have the moral bearing to qualify as a judge. Based upon his previous statement(s), it seems clear he wants to change society to his ideology through rulings from the bench...and he is willing to lie UNDER OATH to do so. As such, he should've NEVER even been a judge.

Durbin's a big part of the problems we have nowadays.

[@norme2681]

I bet Dicky Durbin won't go near a window in a lighting storm.

[@teresahelms1709]

🤣🤣🤣

[@JimmeShelter]

Kennedy should ask Durbin if he would be willing to repeat that claim under oath.

[@PineGeri]

Wow! How did that nominee even get this far? Why wasn’t he fired?

[@danford8332]

Purgury........ Different laws for different people! I would be in jail by now!

[@conditionallyunconditional5691]

We have plenty of lying judges. We need less of these type.

[@Grossman2868]

Wow, he's lying about lying!!

[@scottmiller2591]

So either he's a liar, or incompetent. Either way, no confirmation for you.

[@jackieh4582]

He doesn’t recall a FORMAL complaint yet he remembers there was a written settlement? Did they not include him on the formal complaint, just filed it but sent his part to Elvis’ bait stand? How does that logic work?

[@5pointsdigital289]

If there was a serious complaint and removal from a case, how could you NOT know?

[@shanecabbage2187]

I love how Durbin swoops in to save this lying, spineless fool. Please, I beg every voter to do your research on individual candidates and to drain the swamp. Also, please vote locally. Those people affect your lives as much or more than those who meet in the House and Senate.

I was bent over in Tenn,i am corrupt in Tenn,and i will continue to be UNETHICAL AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AS I WANT

[@alisonwinter3875]

Why can’t these drop kicks simply say yes or no ????? Gotta love Kennedy! He’s so sharp and funny

[@dennisbudd8102]

"Elvis is alive and working a small bait store on the shore of lake Erie." Hot damn.🤣

[@davef.2329]

Be careful of those "blue" suede shoes...

[@EarthAltar]

"Do you believe in the Tooth Fairy?" Had me rolling.

[@JimmeShelter]

@@EarthAltar Yeah that one hung there like grandmas air biscuit. The room didn't know where it was going. lol

[@benvye4279]

He's used that line before! Good one!

[@lavender4247]

[@cyndiotwell2067]

Gotta love Senator Kennedy!!! He takes no BS
