Its official. They ARE lying

When my industries, real estate and mortgage brokerage began falling apart in 2007 I too watched and recorded the Senate on a regular obsessive basis through live viewing, pre-recorded and online transcripts. On occasion there have been omissions and unexplained 'private sessions' and most of the time I could later find a transcript so I don't know if this omission is just that or if more information isn't forthcoming that may take a few days (they too are not exempt from technical or human malfunction.)

Here is what I have been able to find so far and I would watch over the next couple of days to see if any transcripts don't suddenly appear in the record:
