Maria Bartiromo BERATES Jim Himes over Russian collusion accusations!!

So Maria Bartiromo started yelling and screaming at Rep. Jim Himes today about his claim that there is “more than circumstantial evidence” that Trump colluded with the Russians.

It got pretty ugly pretty quick:

Uhm, a lot of people are saying Bartiromo won this “debate” because she yelled at a Democrat very loudly:

Now, I know that is how we’re programmed to consider political debates these days, but this was definitely not a win. Look, when you’re asking questions but not allowing your interlocutor to answer, and just yell over them, you’re not winning. Not in debate-land. Maybe in entertainment partisan-land, where we’re all being detained.

Himes is kind of a jackass, but he brought some very inconvenient facts to the debate, and Bartiromo’s response was “what about Hillary?!?!” which is fine, but doesn’t exonerate Trump. If Bartiromo wanted to defend Trump, she didn’t do that great a job of it.

I don’t think Bartiromo won this debate. There IS circumstantial evidence that Trump did something untoward with the Russians. If it was collusion and how bad it was is a judgement call, given that the lack of evidence in the public sphere. There are way too many officials who have been indicted on lying to the FBI – but that is circumstantial evidence. Dems are going to need a lot more actual evidence if they want to impeach without looking completely motivated by political motivations.

I’ll update with video of the entire segment if it becomes available. Also, #MAGA!!
