Stop with the right wing talking points. There was nothing "unseemly" about her "behavior." That's why 100% of the Democrats voted against the censure motion.

She communicated with Epstein during the hearing, before it was her turn to ask questions of Cohen, so she could get info on what Cohen was talking about when he was answering others' questions. That way she was better prepared when it was her turn to question Cohen. Which is what Epstein provided and what happened. Because of the info Epstein provided, she was able to get Cohen to describe on the record the relationship Rhona Graff ("the keeper of secrets" ) had to Trump and the Trump organization. Plaskett was not texting Epstein while she was questioning Cohen, obviously.
