AG Barr destroys Jerry Nadler in another House Democrat testimony disaster
New York Post ^ | July 28, 2020 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 07/29/2020 2:11:42 AM PDT by karpov

He came, he saw, he ate their lunch. Bill Barr, denied a meal break, feasted instead on a gaggle of Democratic amateurs.

Another congressional hearing, another Dem disaster. They planned a public hanging of the attorney general and spent weeks constructing their scaffold. He is corrupt, a liar, a toady, they and their media handmaidens assured us, and the House Judiciary Committee will reveal all.

Two obstacles quickly became apparent. The first is that the Dems were led by Rep. Jerry Nadler, whose rabidness is exceeded only by his haplessness.

The start was delayed because Nadler was in a minor car accident. That was obviously an omen, but Nadler doesn’t take hints, so he plowed forward into a head-on crash with a heavyweight opponent superior in ­every way.

Nadler specializes in duds, demanding that former special counsel Robert Mueller testify a year ago, only to see the Russia, Russia, Russia hysteria collapse on national TV. Then Nadler, bearing a lifetime grudge against President Trump, did such a terrible job in the first impeachment hearings on Ukraine that Speaker Nancy Pelosi demoted him and turned the task over to Rep. Adam Schiff.

Yet Nadler is a slow learner and there he was Tuesday, opening the ballyhooed attack on the AG with a statement that was a farrago of lies, fake news and slanderous attacks on law enforcement, Barr and Trump. It was so over-the-top, so fact-free and unsupportable, that it had zero chance of setting the stage for a meaningful interrogation.

Then again, honest interrogation was not the intent. Pelosi’s House only does character ­assassination.

“This is the first time in my memory that the leaders of one of our two great political parties, the Democratic Party, are not coming out and condemning mob violence,” he said. “Can’t we just say the violence against the federal courts has to stop? Could we hear something like that?”

The room was silent. The attorney general challenged their loyalty, and not a single Democrat objected. For them, it was just another day at the office.

From car wreck to train wreck...

Patience please.

The reason for te hearings was the hope Barr could be prematurely smoked out

The conduct of the hearing yesterday clearly indicates fear and panic

Barr should have stood up, walked up in front of this clown, pulled out Walter and pissed on his mic and desk, and said, “now I don’t need a piss break.”

Yes, FEAR AND PANIC permeate the Democrats. And, rest assured, the manner in which the Democrats treated AG Barr yesterday, will galvanize his resolve to bring the traitors to justice. AG Barr and John Durham are going to be the lawn mowers and the Dems arses are going to be the grass.

Barr didn’t “destroy” Nadler. Who thinks up these juvenile headlines?

The SEO person. SEO=Search Engine Optimization aka knowing what gets clicks. It's depressing writing for the search engines. It's like being in the movie, Idiocracy. Article titles with a number in them are 23% more likely to get clicks. "Here's 5 things you need to know about blah blah." "you need" is an action phrase which also helps. Then you have the usual attention grabbing words like BOMBSHELL, BOOM, Destroyed, Wrecked etc etc. What makes it depressing is realizing that much of the population has the intelligence and/or maturity level of a 9th grader. Like the arena scene at the end of Idiocracy where the adult crowd acts like 3rd graders.

Yep, AG Barr was as cool as a cucumber throughout the entire circus yesterday. But when you are playing five card stud and you have the king, queen, jack, and ten of spades showing with the ace of spades in the hole, you can afford to be very, very cool. AG Barr and John Durham don’t have to bluff.

Dang! What an asshole. That’s how dirty cops torture and mess with people during interrogations — have them drink a lot (which Barr does), then refuse bathroom breaks.

Barr could have walked out. Who would stop him?

And I think that includes having the power to arrest any/all of these people for the myriad of criminal skeletons that are in their closets. Don’t they understand that? Poke the bear endlessly, and THEN not the bear use the restroom? Thin ice.

Right on with your post #13 and this one .. “Conservative-porn cheerleaders, like this guy.”

The only conservative AM Radio Station I can get has Dave Ramsey (which I can’t stand) followed by Glenn Beck (which I can’t stand) followed by Rush, followed by Sean (which I can’t stand) followed by the Great One at five o’clock in the afternoon.

I listen to Rush and Mark as much as I can. Skrew the rest.

I can’t understand why Barr and his gang haven’t brought charges up against this bunch of communist posing as democrats. The facts are there.

My last hope for justice is, if and when Trump is re-elected, he will lower the boom on these people because he and his admin will have nothing to lose.

That’s about the only thing I have left to look forward to cause ain’t nothing going to be done until after the election.

Was there no lunch break at all? I know that Congress critters come and go during most hearings as they are mostly there to showboat with their prepared statements, not to become informed, but no breaks at all?

Nads tried to put the screws to Barr when he denied a pee break requested by Barr. Don’t believe it worked.

He could have said, ok Nads, if you won’t give me a pee break, then I will just go on the floor. 🤪

I think eventually we’ll find Dems were behind the push for Sessions to be AG, knowing they could steamroll him into recusing.

The Insurance Policy.


Sadly, Trump has only himself to blame for Sessions. But it was an understandable mistake. Sessions gave Trump a lot of support during the campaign, so it was natural to think he’d have his back as AG. Unfortunately, Sessions turned our to have a spine of jello and had no idea how to be AG. Reminded me of when Clinton picked Les Aspin to be Sec Def. Both men were total misfits in their job. Which just goes to show, you want to be very, very careful when picking a legislator for the Executive branch.

Though, on the other hand, Pompeo seems to be an excellent choice.

He should have done that, the first time they didn’t allow him to answer. As you say, who would stop him? As much a bunch of scum bags the rats 🐀 are, I don’t think even they would like the public spectacle of trying to stop him physically. 🤗

No justice, ever? The biggest surprise of the day
was Barr stating a Justice officer has been charged
with investigating FISA abuses. I’m betting that by
September 15 someone will be crowing, “I love it
when a plan comes together.”

. . . What makes it depressing is realizing that much of the population has the intelligence and/or maturity level of a 9th grader. Like the arena scene at the end of Idiocracy where the adult crowd acts like 3rd graders.

Add to that the fact that writers know that some, if not many, people are immediately drawn to what they want to hea. People want to hear that Nadler got destroyed, but he didn't He's still there and just as nasty if before, if not worse. Barr may have given him pause, but he certainly didn't destroy him.
