Loretta Lynch wasn’t at the second day of her confirmation hearings either physically or in the testimony of many of the witnesses, who criticized the Obama administration at large and the leadership of Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.

After finishing her round of questioning on Wednesday evening, Lynch was not expected to attend Thursday’s proceedings. She was just as missing from the testimony of many of the committee witnesses who addressed her nomination, much to the dismay of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Democratic members.
