The latest drama unfolding during the confirmations of Trump’s cabinet have many people wondering — was it coincidence or something more?
The Thursday morning confirmation hearing for Donald Trump’s pick to lead the CIA got off to a dim start.
During his opening remarks, Senate Intelligence Committee ranking member Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) began speaking about the intelligence community’s formal assessment that Russia attempted to interfere in the U.S. election.
Abruptly, the lights went out in the Hart hearing room, plunging it into darkness.
Warner continued his remarks — without a microphone — as lawmakers, reporters, protesters and the candidate himself, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), sat in darkness.
Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) called a recess shortly after. Former Republican Sen. Bob Dole, present to speak about Pompeo, sat surrounded by lawmakers and press as other senators milled around the well of the hearing room
The confirmation hearing eventually resumed with no explanation into the blackout. After last week’s reports that foreign governments have allegedly managed to break into the United States’ power grid system, some seem concerned that the delay was no accident at all. But for now, no one is alleging any wrongdoing.

This would be silly if it weren’t so sad.
An Omen for the Demoncrats!
the media were saying it was Russia but the news said it was electrical where they were doing construction
well of course the media blames Russia. hell, they’d blame Russia if Canada had beaten America in the World Jr Hockey Gold Medal match. they’d blame Russia for the cold temps. (despite the fact that it’s winter, and it’s suppose to be cold, but don’t tell liberals that. they’ll retreat to their “safe zones” with their coloring books, play-doh and therapy dogs)
Pompeo a great choice
