Sorry but I do not believe her that she was unaware
Agreed she’s knows but when in doubt play dumb seems to be the democratic way
She knows
Her office handles civil rights cases. If the person was a protected class and was discriminated based on that, her office would know. The case was a free speech case. Her office does not handle free speech. It's like asking an apple orchard owner if he knows how bad an historic frost damaged the orange crop in Florida. Apples and oranges are different fruits, so the orchard owner might not even know.
You damned right she's aware. Just another liar of convenience.
Seems like the DOJ, FBI, CIA, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY and others all have the same response. Unaware, not familiar or can't response because of a supposed ongoing investigation. This is the United States Congress and they can demand answers.They are all lying or simply refusing to answer the questions. They all need to be held in contempt and sequestered until they can provide someone to come forward and answer the damn questions. Why doesn't anything work as intended in this country anymore?
If he was found innocent by a jury than it ought to be addressed to the department of Justice for their error enough said
She also said they acted on facts. Clearly, the facts were not correct if the case was dropped in the courtroom. So they raided someone house because they thought he was doing something wrong, which is completely unacceptable.
Writing of errors, you spelled then, than. Proving we all make mistakes.
Judge not
@@terriaranich8524Low intelligence response. The spelling errors by some rando on ewetube don't have the possibility of putting someone in prison.
This is exactly what destroyed South Africa😢
@@antonioafonso9910 Blacks? We know.
Can you say the words, "Affirmative Action."
When these people are questioned, they should be required to answer yes and no questions with a simple Yes or No!!!!!
To save time and money in these hearings, why aren’t the witnesses provided a list of possible questions IN ADVANCE of their testimony? ANSWER: Because this process drags out the hearings and as a result, nothing gets resolved and we taxpayers get the Bill.
Can never answer directly or sincerely
This is what happens when you don't hire based on qualifications! The next question should be, "Do you work from home?"
If she 'worked' from home she might be watching TV and actually hear about the cases her dept is engaged in! Fire Ms Knownothing!
Sure, Trump's administration hired people on guesses. Sounds familiar? I gire absolutelly best nonsense.
This is a very effective tactic it seems if your party is in control. Just keep saying 'I don't know. I'm unaware. I can't answer that. I'll take the question back to my department and get you the answer.' However, the question is never answered on the record on purpose.
Her office does not deal with free speech cases. Her office deals with civil rights cases. She doesn't have a secret power.
That's why Democrats want Hunter to testify in front of Congress live instead of in front of a committee. He can run out the clock 5 minutes at a time. If front of a committee he has to answer all of the questions without a 5 minute timer.
Yep, sounds just like Republicans in the House and the ones on trial.
@@sstarkey1695Your worried about the house when we have American citizens being harassed by the federal government? When citizens are invited into the capitol building, put on trial for a bs insurrection charge, evidence withheld to get a conviction/guilty verdict? Since you’re probably a liberal, I suggest you do some research on the capital video footage as you likely only spend your time looking for information that supports your anti-American values.
I don't know what to think about that either the ethics head of the FBI isn't aware of what is going on in the supreme court that directly shows the FBI has no ethics. She is oblivious to it? That is crazy they actually have a fake ethic person because they have no ethics at all.
She is a just a wall sign forward your complaint to our hollowed out ethics department miss gaslighter will handle it.
They should try to get access to her emails. I guarantee she has back-and-forth email conversations with people about this case. These people need to start getting called out on their nonsense and getting fired in disgrace.
It’s like doctor saying that they are not familiar with the cardiovascular system and not being liable at all for it
What is this woman's annual salary ?
We are paying her salary ??
And she's as smart as box of rocks..
I don't know about that . I'm betting on the box of rocks .
Salary down to $1.00 might wake her up as in many of them!!!!
same can be said about Trump, MTG, Boebert and the rest of that Republican swamp.
@user-gy5xc5yo3w Well, they always have an answer atleast. .
And it usually pertains to the actual question.
This lib knows nothing. Ahh, I'm not aware of this case.
That's a dem answer.
That's all we ever get out of this corrupt administration.
Fire her immediately
Das racist tho
She'll probably be promoted!
@@HelloIm12345 gene was being sarcastic.
Keep drinking that koolaide
Fire her AND arrest Jordan for not answering to the subpoena he was handed back for his part in the insurrection of our Capital on January 6th.
AMEN!!!! Proof the justice dept is political!!!!
How about supreme court corruption? start there.
If they really wanted those FOIA documents, they would sue the DOJ. FOIA law is a federal law which requires the request to be met within a short, specified time frame.
However, they have nothing, and are affraid to sue, to be proven for fools they are. its all noise, and nothing else.
Time to start hiring people in positions that need experienced instead of race and gender. America is being destroyed because of this BS.
The previous president let his son in law cosplay as secretary of state. Race and gender is a no no but nepotism is completely acceptable amongst hicks.
@rebguthrie2436 Earth has only one human race. So what race are you talking about?
How is America being destroyed exactly?
It there disease spreading across the country like in Trump's time?
Is unemployment up over 10 percent like in Trump's time?
Are the store shelves empty like in Trump's time?
Are the schools closed like in Trump's time?
Are the Chinese flying spy balloons over America every month like in Trump's time?
Are container ships waiting - 20,000 deep - to get unloaded like in Trump's time?
Seems to me Biden is cleaning up the damage caused by the last guy.
You might want to take a more honest assessment of the country between them and now.
@@ducewags just what he said and I will put in all caps as elementary as possible so you may hopefully understand....EXPERIENCED PEOPLE SHOULD BE HIRED INSTEAD OF PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RACE AND/OR GENDER.
We, homo sapien sapien, do not discriminate homo sapien like you.
Shocking doesn't begin to describe.
It’s shocking that she didn’t use the “I can’t comment due to it being an ongoing investigation” excuse that Garland and Wray invoke every time they are called to testify! She needs remedial training on Congressional testimony because her bias and/or incompetence was on display. 🤬
She is saving that one until a whistle blower comes out telling us someone wanted an investigation but it was denied.
Saying there is an investigation admits there is a problem.
Of course when the whistle blower comes out, an investigation will be opened within hours 😉
Every law investigative agency says they cannot comment on an open investigation. That is normal.
@@triciac1019not normal , answer the questions
They couldn’t tell the truth, If the truth was the last word out of their mouth before they were to die, they would still lie.
We're watching a circus without balloons.
Yup, GOP Freak Clown Show Circus. They should sell tickets.
That is weak...
I’m gonna correct you, I know you meant to say Brandon and his cronies are the clowns.
You’re welcome!
I knew a liberal would watch this and think there was something wrong with the conservatives in the room. Joe's dementia is more contagious than covid these days.@@stephenhomseydgi3693

You know the answer to that!
Black privilege.
They are placed in positions.
Is that House thing of cutting the pay of these hacks to zero still a possibility?!
It's beautiful for America 💯 🇺🇸
I believe she doesn't know WTFark is going on. It's a case of willful ignorance.
When given the choice between admitting corruption or claiming incompetence, it is almost always more beneficial to claim incompetence.
Its working great for Biden.
A long standing practice with these bureaucrats in DC to pretend incompetence since they have no shame whatsoever.
In this administration, incompetence is entirely believable.
"With very few exceptions, no one's a perfect moron."
Ewe didn't say anything when Trump tried to destroy the nation. MAGA is even preparing to vote for him again in 2024 although 1 in 5 Americans were unemployed under Trump's administration. So, why are ewe pretending to care about competence and qualifications now? We all know this doesn't have anything to do with "qualifications"-- especially since a third of Americans are willing to reinstall a former president who has publicly stated that he wants to rip up/ and trash the US Constitution.
wow she's nearly infinitely out of her depth. amazing.
It's the GOP strategy to make it seem that way. You may have noticed she was polite and didn't look out of her depth, or scared, or nervous.
@@amberspaulding lol no. I have my own eyes that aren’t ruined by woke infection

Exactly, how can such an immoral man who would not support his fellow wrestlers against a sexual pervert remain in office. How can he even show his face in public.
It's dey kulture
Kosher assistance most definitely
I remember her confirmation hearing and her testimony, and I as a citizen found her answers unacceptable. She is definitely unqualified for the position she now holds.
Her office is civil rights not free speech. The case was a free speech case.
@chrisdidato6893 haha, free speech is civil rights.
Thanks for our daily laugh.
Clarke was confirmed by a vote of 51 to 48, largely along party lines. Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, broke with her party to support Ms. Clarke's confirmation. Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana, did not vote .May 25, 2021

Should have asked her if she knew where Missouri was or if she she knew who Biden was! Or if she knew what the Supreme Court does!
🤣

The Supreme Court is a pizza place that makes nothing but Supreme Pizza. Duh. 😂

How convenient!
This is by design. She’s lying through her teeth.
If she’s not lying she’s too stupid to be in her position. We lose either way..
“I don’t know”
“I don’t know”
“I don’t know”
Then there’s no point of her keeping her job.
Yes there is. She ticks the right diversity box.
I agree w/ the comments and I'm additionally outraged by the slow walking (denial) of the FOIA documents! It's a middle finger to the people!!
This is amazing and its funny how no one would even talk about this!!!😲🙁
Not Aware, the code of this administration.
She's like "I'm unaware can we move on" BS she knows'
She had to be living under a rock for the last year seriously that’s an unsatisfactory answer for a person in her position
This is the result of what affirmative action in action produces which is especially unfair to this unprepared woman, Kristen Clark.
The oligarchs believe that people that didn't build this country are able to run it. I'm sure they already know it's a destruction policy. The left hates Caucasians and Caucasian societies simple as.
I agree, but she knows more then she says its a be polite and say nothing game
It’s not affirmative action,it’s critical theory Marxism.
@@bestlist6578 It is not being polite, it is trying to AVOID admitting corruption.
It maybe unfair to her, but it is more unfair to all Americans. Just because you can speak well doesn't mean you're intelligent. Not ready to have positions like these.
The head the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Kristen Clarke was appointed by Joe Biden....Positions like this should be decided by the people of the United States (vote/congress) NOT by political appointment...Civil Rights and Justice/Freedom are Constitutional Issues and SHOULD be non-partisan positions.
101 Folks. In the United States, the protection of freedom of speech is primarily the responsibility of the judicial system, particularly through the interpretation and enforcement of the First Amendment by the courts. While there is no specific "Civil Rights Department" for this purpose, various government entities, including the Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission, play supportive roles in certain contexts. These efforts are complemented by civil liberties organizations like the ACLU, which advocate for and defend free speech rights.

"Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
At this point and juncture of time can't they just be down to earth and admit that they are in the business of obstructing justice .
She has been taking lessons from Kamala. “Sorry I don’t understand the question” enough said 😂
Don't you wish Trump had taken lessons from somebody? With over 90 felony indictments and a business empire built on total fraud, he is the worst president in American history.

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another example of the potato and his handler's treachery!
instead of complaining on UA-cam, you can vote people out.
I guess she went into the hearing with the mindset that if she got in a pickle, to go with the "I don't recall" or "I'm unaware" answer, which works under most circumstances when asked if you said or did something. But not circumstances where anybody in the field would know about the case. She looked incompetent.
Proof they're mot doing their jobs, if she doesn't even know about this case.
Kristen Clarke, Fani Willis & Letitia James - anyone else see the script theme here???? Call me crazy
Marxists in full view.
Imagine knowing nothing about your own actual job and sticking to it, and to have castrated individuals in congress have nothing to do about it but fuss and fluster and move on is beyond me and shows we are in a hopeless situation
yupp, so move on, get back to work, and unless there can be anything done about it, dont worry. Republican swamp hopes people will be ignorant, and simply vote Republican.
When I was a kid I said to my father I'd really be glad to get out of school so I didn't have to study anymore. He laughed. He said, "You're going to find out you always have to study. You need to learn new things and you need to keep up learning for your job." Apparently this lady didn't get that message... or she doesn't know Missouri is part of the U.S., or she doesn't keep up on the highest court in the land.
She is appearing to be at least one of these three: lazy, clueless of what is required for the position she holds, or lying under oath
She shouldn't even be a librarians aide.
ALL THE ABOVE! @@cc-qu7gz
If she is as clueless as she demonstrates in this video, she should not be in charge of ANYTHING.
must be nice to know that Gym Jordan has defied a Congressional subpoena. Look into Republican conducts, and than we will see. Republicans trying to find dirt on Bidens, however theres tons of evidence against Trump, yet Republicans do not pursue any of Trump's culpability. Answer that.
Ignorance has always been a tenet for no excuse for breaking the law
I’m just a hairstylist and I know about this case. She’s full of it.🔨
Not aware of a major civil rights court case? That’s what you get when you hire based on race and gender, not ability.
Kristen Clarke, Fani Willis & Letitia James - anyone else see the script theme here???? Call me crazy
Major? No. Its nothing. Fake alegation from the GOP like so often.
The US Representatives said the case was a free speech case. It was NOT a civil rights case.
@@IB-1963 you couldn’t be anymore spot on but you forgot Alvin Bragg 😂
But that's the problem it's not a major civil rights case. She wasn't hired on race or gender she was hired for her abilities unless you can prove otherwise.
But the particular case you talking about doesn't fall under her purview, so why would she have knowledge about it?
Really, all it is a bunch of whiners who don't like the fact that the federal government did what it's supposed to do and protect people from liars on social media
Claimed ignorance should be no defence or excuse. If they don’t know their job or position they should be put on immediate notice to vacate their office
Unreal, look where we have gotten to.
they need to demand her phone and email records to confirm she didn't just perjure herself

I was hoping to watch a video where gym jordan was actually speechless - even though I knew that was physically impossible.
Oh dang, did he say that out loud!?😮
She wasn't "unprepared" and "ignorant" to the facts of that case - She was simply attempting to avoid a question highlighting the blatant hypocrisy and politically-driven prosecutions of her office.
The thing that stuck out here to me was that I was not aware of this case. I watch MSM for all of my news content. I'm wondering if there are things like this that the Newsmax and OAN audiences aren't getting? This statement is not about comparing or arguing either side at all. I'm just wondering aloud - what are the chances that the individuals who watch Newsmax all the time could provide an equal account of any of the 91 cases that are under way involving 45? Or the numerous (56 I think?) times that 45 unsuccessfully challenged the election in court?

That's what level of educated people that Affirmative action delivers to the American people.
The truth is that she 100% knows and everyone knows it. The fact that she claims that she doesn't... is an admission of guilt. She should be held in contempt. She should have to pay a lawyer to defend herself and if she's proven guilty... She should be immediately disbarred and removed from her position. This is how we need to move forward with these lying cheats from now on. You play this game with an oversight committee. You pay the price. Hold these people accountable.
