Well...well...well... I guess this might be why Lindsey went all white nationalist/racist this morning. And why not? It's been working for republicans now for over half a century:

It's like Speaker Pelosi said: With you Donald Trump, all roads lead to Putin:
The annual Independence Day celebration at the United States Embassy in Budapest is usually a modest garden party, a chance for the ambassador to celebrate American freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
This year, the ambassador, David B. Cornstein, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a blowout gala for 800 guests. He flew in the singer Paul Anka from California. The guest of honor was Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, who has curtailed the very freedoms the event was meant to highlight.
Standing at a lectern, Mr. Cornstein declared Mr. Orban “the perfect partner” and “a very, very strong and good leader.” Mr. Anka serenaded the Hungarian leader with a personalized rendition of “My Way.”
For many in the room, it was a bewildering spectacle: an American ambassador lavishing praise on a far-right leader whose party has methodically eroded Hungarian democracy and pushed anti-Semitic tropes. But it was just another demonstration of Mr. Cornstein’s pattern of emboldening Mr. Orban.
...Since becoming ambassador in June 2018, Mr. Cornstein has assiduously courted Mr. Orban, giving the Hungarian leader unexpected influence in the Trump administration. Mr. Cornstein used his decades-long friendship with President Trump to help broker a coveted Oval Office meeting for Mr. Orban last May — a meeting now under scrutiny by impeachment investigators in Washington.
At the time, some White House officials tried to stop the meeting, citing Mr. Orban’s anti-democratic record in Hungary and his growing closeness to Russia. The meeting went ahead, and Mr. Orban is said to have used it to fuel the president’s suspicions about Ukraine.

And my guess is that this is just a small percentage of the WTF actions taken by this administration.

Good. Cuz it's a stoopid fucking question.
The only acceptable answer is "it depends."

No doubt Nadler should have asked Barr to write the questions for him. Although, that sounds like an easy answer to "a stoopid fucking question".
Was that the DOJ's answer, or did they just refuse to answer?

Thanks. BTW, while I've got you here, do you have any pictures taken with Lev? Because if not, you might be the only republican I know of so far, who doesn't:
