Holy shit, I forgot what actual legislative oversight even looks and sounds like. I think the last time I saw anything similar was the the Jan 6th Hearings.

An absolute brilliant takedown

This is the level Democrats need to be at. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @chrislhayes.bsky.social

I just donated to his campaign

The Republicans in Congress do nothing and are cowards.

Calm and incisive. THIS is the way.

Bassent proves even with a degree of education he can twist the truth into lies for Trumps ignorant demands. He is digging the hole deeper with his responses on how illegal his department is being management. Trump already caused theTrump Family Bookkeeper to go to prison for cooking the books.

Give him a hug from Canada. We have leaders like that, and asses like Bass-ant. We just have a better system of controls, sometimes. Cheers

What a 🤡 he has zero cogent response

Casten does a good job, we need more like him in congress

The other line they give is “Let me get back to you on that” which is BS talk for “I have no clue what I’m doing because I’m not qualified for the job but that doesn’t matter because my real mandate is to destroy the agency I’m in charge of.”

💥💥💥 Every illegal action they are committing needs to be dissected and nailed down as precisely Casten did here….>chef’s kiss<

Casten asked a question about controls. Bessent said there would be an audit. Controls help prevent actions. An audit reports on actions after the fact.

Bessent's incompetence, corruption, dishonesty, and stupid smirk fit him and the current administration like a glove.

Why are we allowing morons to run this country? This whole administration is made up of idiots that think they can do whatever they want! 🤬

Every day I wonder what the hell congress is doing to stop the madness. Thanks for this. How can these people be so incredibly arrogant/stupid/obfuscatory?

Exactly

This is what happens when incompetent people are put in charge. He was made a fool of in front of his colleagues. Trying to protect and appease Trump.

Damn he makes the other sleepy D's look like ignorant fools.

I love it when someone in Congress does their homework.

💯💯💯

This is the way. Calm confidence in telling the truth.

A whole lot of people are betting on pre-emptive pardons before noon on January 20.

Autocracy of Dunces

Me too!

Wish I had a rep like that💙

Inspiring!

He's been needing an ass whooping for weeks now. That clown was getting full preparation by tRump and Co. Someone is finally making him answer valid questions again

YES !!! Casten has Bessent legislatively, tied in knots. EXCELLENT 👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻👏🏼👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👍🏾 ‼️‼️‼️

Bravo!

Best thing I have watched all day!

This deserves a repost to all !!! My dear friends please share this to all your friends!!! Thank you Mueller , for sharing this🕊️🇺🇸⚖️🕊️🇺🇸⚖️🕊️

Very

Unbelievable. A grown man to be that lost. Casten is my new single focused hit man. Luv to see that whiney smug prick be egged, crumbed and deep fried

Impressive questioning

Clown!!!

Most stupid, immoral cabinet during my lifetime (and possibly ever).

He is amazing!

He has an excellent background in science, engineering, entrepreneur.. smart guy.

No way other countries are looking at this pile of steaming idiocy and thinking poorly of the US. Right………..?

Thanks to my Congressman, Sean Casten

It’s called skimming off the top. Free money for Trump and his administration.

Great questioning,,,

He sounded like my was going to puke answering those questions.

And I'm so glad he represents us here in Illinois :)

JFC. It's haunting how refreshing it feels to see someone just DOING THEIR FUCKING JOB FOR ONCE! This is what a government representative should be doing. It's literally their ONE job.

Bessent: I know this is all to be legal because it is an emergency. Umm what emergency? War. Casten: Nope, not at war. Bessent: IEEPA!! IEEPA! Casten: Again, not at war. Bessent: We're going to audit! Casten: Have you hired anyone to do this? Bessent: Not yet. Too many shows to go on.

He's fantastic. But he's going to have to keep pushing. This is a Trump shell game and they are going to hope that as they continue to flood the zone with all the other corruption in play, that the American people will get overwhelmed and forget.

Everyone who works in this administration is so stupid. They all just end up incriminating themselves when pressured by anyone with half a brain. Unfortunately, no one with the power to dish out some justice seems willing to do so.

Making the 6th proud. This was brilliant.

Bessent looked like he was going to piss his pants. What a great moment!

Trump Bessent

@casten.house.gov Thanks for the clarity. Bessant is a #TrumpLackey

Rep Carsten did well. But what I don’t get is these people are acting outside authority yet affecting a whole other country,pocketing money in own unmonitored accounts abroad & yet he’ll “get back to them on that?” If you or I did that we’d be thrown in jail or shot dead on the street.

They don’t know what the f they’re doing other than lining their own pockets & dealing with their own daddy issues by appeasing the felon in chief.

Bessent is a sociopathic WEASEL. 🐀 These Trump sycophants should be nowhere near 'the reigns of power.'

Is it that hard to have intelligent people asking questions of the people who are breaking the law?

It’s all a scam and grift and a shell game. They all run cover for everyone else. No one is held accountable and they all play dumb while America is set back decades.

hope you don't mind if I repost

Powerful performance. The zone is so full of shit right now that well-researched aides should be building these loaded questions for all members of Congressional hearings!

Once in a blue moon, I wonder if the treasury secretary might be full of feces.

not like he cares or it matters. he's, like every other Trump appointee, playing to an audience of one.

Very Calmly and Surgically chopped bessent into pieces

What I would give to have a representative of Nebraska in the Congress who was so intelligent and cared about truth as Rep Casten!

Look ieepa bout 2 weeks to get back to you on how were skimming

Wow.. me too! What a bunch of crooks!

Me too because he made Bessent look like exactly what he is

Shoot first - Aim later.

wow!

Me too!!!! I am going to replay this a bunch of times. 💙

Thank you Carren brilliant

Yes, it's refreshing, isn't it?

Brill. Bessent is not just a bully, but also a first class idiot.

He does a great job here. No hostility, but no bs. Totally destroys Bissent.

It’s amazing how well government works when congress members do their job.

He is awesome!

I think I love #RepCasten

Competent people....WUT?!?

I was waiting for him to say, “But she told me she was 18!”

its ok, hes got a van parked out front with the engine running just in case

Dipshit gets taken down by knowledgeable dude......Hence why Chump doesn't like smart people....

Wait there are still ADULTS in US govt?🤔

lie, grift grift, lie repeat

He’s a bumbling idiot. Yep he fits in just fine with the rest of the criminals.

Same!

Is that Bessent's backup choir behind him

Outstanding.

Clear, direct, and knowledgeable. Boom.

Wow!

So he’s in jail now?

Thank goodness

This was excellent!

I think someone is stealing [checking my notes...ah!] ... um, 'money'.

The corruption stink is everywhere

They're just hoping they can shift hundreds of millions of dollars around in the dark & nobody will ask questions. It's insane. And illegal. Good on Casten 🎯

Excellent

DJTrump does not know the Constitution and the law, along with the clowns he assigned to his cabinet to lead our country.

Bessent is a mumbling fool who thinks he is above being challenged. I really have a new seething disgust for the uber wealthy class

Fucking corrupt clown show

Priceless. Calm. Firm. 💙🌊

It’s hard to answer hard questions when your filling orange 🍊 man’s pockets with war booty💸💰💵

Fuck yes… Casten is discussing facts with a brain dead monkey .

😳 As the hip kids say BTA, Belt To Ass!!

🤡🤡🤡

Me too! He represents the next district and I'm always happy to talk to him. So intelligent.

So well done. Bessant the whimpering amateur

He's 🔥🔥🔥

"My dog ate my homework" just doesn't cut it anymore. 😀

I met him when he was running for Congress last election. I lived in Wheaton, IL and he was going door to door. He rang my door bell and introduced himself and chatted with me. He is great!

Bessent just got schooled.

The stupidity is an act. They want you to think they’re incompetent.

Yea this is great

Bassent doesn’t follow laws. “ Not at present”.
