Mmmm Barr publishes his strong opening statement early. Nadler is not hurt so why is the hearing postponed?
*******************************************************
Well, considering that NADLER IS CHAUFFEURED TO WORK and doesn’t live too far away from the Capital building, House staffers could easily AND RAPIDLY dispatch another vehicle to pick up the uninjured Nadler.
The reason they didn’t, IMHO, was to have more time to prepare.
For some reason he was in NY
The Democrat Party is probably trying to figure out the opening statement that Nadler has to give to respond to AG Barr and somehow parley Nadler’s AntiFa riots are a myth faux pas yesterday into something they can spin in their favor.
Unfortunately (for them), their presumptive Presidential candidate can’t be released from his basement to deliver a rebuttal/explanation. Based on his recent appearances, Biden is now so enfeebled that he is having trouble getting from the capital letter at the start of a sentence to the period at the other end.
Problem is they (Democrat leadership) are presented with two equally unpalatable choices: 1) denounce the rioting as being outside allowable behavior (which will madden their hard left/liberal base) or 2) try to expand their now fantastic definition of “peaceful demonstration” to encompass all the destructive behavior now occurring on a nightly basis in Democrat-governed cities (which will madden just about everybody else - except those who think “law and order” is a racist term).
Of course, they could also double down on the Nadler approach: deny the obvious and stick with the “it’s a myth” line.
So expect that there will be something special from the party in Nadler’s opening statement. Even more entertaining will be seeing how quickly MSM, the network “Talking Heads” and Democrat politicians flip if the party narrative changes.
Personally, I hope AG Barr delivers his statement in the following manner:
(Someone brilliantly referred to Nadler as “Baghdad Bob” the other day. Surprised there isn’t a photographic or video meme of that yet on the Internet.)
