After spending weeks demanding Attorney General Barr testify about the federal response to recent protests across America, House Democrats today made clear what they actually wanted was to testify themselves -- and simply let AG Barr watch and listen.
Time and again over the day-long hearing, Democrats phrased their comments ostensibly as questions, but then objected when Barr attempted answering.
"Reclaiming my time" became a theme early into the contentious proceedings.
When Barr began balking at being barred from speaking, Rep. Greg Stanton reassured the attorney general that "'You'll have a chance to comment after your testimony is over today."

Democrats making themselves look like the Dolts they are
I watched the whole thing. He never was able to complete a sentence.
You left out the again. at the end of your post.
.
Rep. Greg Stanton reassured the attorney general that “’You’ll have a chance to comment after your testimony is over today.” Was that actually said?
They are trying to impeach Barr. Today’s talk was to gather fodder for their impeachment and PR because the U.N. is watching.
Traitors in our government are lining up a cover story to permit the UN to “intervene”. They are framing Trump and Barr and are preparing to demand the UN intervene to save Americans from a dictator and his henchmen.
I was mightily disappointed with the pubs and their inaction.
Rather than use their time to allow Barr to respond to the loaded statements of the dems, the pubs used their time to pontificate and emote, uselessly. What a waste of time.
Doesn’t make sense. How can somebody testify if they can’t talk? Sounds kind of Stalinist.
I really disagree with you. Jordan tried to make points of order but the Penguin refused to listen
My favorite moment was when some jerk asked a fairly nonsensical question about election fraud and asked Barr if he’d help the President.
Barr looked non-plussed and was just able to say “I would follow the law”
Only to be interrupted by the jerk who expressed deep — deep — disappointment at Barr’s answer and his apparent lack of interest in honest elections.
What stopped you from posting the whole thing?
Grabien is in the excerpt list now too. Great Ceasar’s ghost what is this world coming too??!!!!
That was amazingly stupid.
Democrats wanted to make their talking points in front of the country, via a paid-for-citizens 6-hour commercial.
Everything they’ve been accusing Trump of saying and doing for the last 4+ years, was presented in front of a live TV and radio audience.
This was not meant to be a hearing; it was a hit-job on Trump and on Barr. Accusations need to be rebutted, but, not when democrats are in charge.
Democrats need to be banned from ever holding power again. They are no better than the governments in Cuba and Venezuela and N. Korea and China and Russia. Opposing opinions are not allowed in their version of America. And the complicit media has been nothing less than what the Chinese media is in China, and the Russian media is in Russia, and what the Cuba and N.Korean media are in their respective countries.
The USA will cease to exist if democrats ever get hold of the 3 branches of government, because, a whole new constitution will be written, which will give them full control of the country, including the media and education system and the economy and the people.
These are very dangerous times we are living in, and unless Trump can hold the presidency, we can all kiss all our personal freedoms and the country good-bye.
BTW, the democrats have it all figured out and all planned out for November, where they are pretty sure that Trump will lose. E-mail voting is their scheme with which they expect that democrats across the board will take control of the whole country. Why else would they be bringing up the topic of Trump accepting the outcome of the election if he loses. The know for sure that he will lose, and want to make sure that he accepts the outcome, no questions asked.
“Dean Wormer” lives.
The Dims game plan was disgraceful but highly coordinated.
The source article at “Grabien” - whatever that is - is a useless ad nightmare. Never click on that site again
I have been very critical of Att Barr I apologize to him. I saw a rock star made today. He went to testify and the Spanish Inquisition showed up. They wanted a gang rape him and the Att General gave better then he got. He was outnumbered 15 to one . I for one saw a tiger out there. Thank you Nadler for giving us a super star. Jerry the putz overplayed his hand once again.
They all know they are in really deep doo doo and all they could manage to do was grandstand and pontificate nosily and not let Barr get a word in hardly edgewise. That's okay because they know darn well what's coming and they are not going to want any part of it. Too bad.
