McCarthy says Nadler lied, not Barr

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday
rejected Democrats’ assertion that Attorney General William
Barr had lied to Congress last month and committed a crime.

Instead, McCarthy accused House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) of being a liar.

“I do not believe Attorney General Barr lied; I believe he’s
been very transparent in all of this,” McCarthy told
reporters Thursday afternoon. “I think if people are looking
at who has lied in the process, simply look at Chairman
Nadler.”

The combative remarks from McCarthy, a close ally of
President Trump, came after Nadler staged a Judiciary
Committee hearing with an empty chair. Barr backed out of
the hearing after objecting to Democrats’ demand that staff
attorneys be allowed to question Barr in addition to
lawmakers.

“Chairman Nadler asked the attorney general to come and he
said yes. After the attorney general said he would come to
the committee, to speak to every member, they moved to
change the rules,” McCarthy said. “The only time an
individual, a staffer questioned somebody was during
Watergate. Nadler has been wanting to impeach the day after
the election.”

A Nadler spokesman did not immediately provide a comment.

Pretty funny that most of the House Judiciary committee Democrats are lawyers, yet they threw a hissy because Barr would not subject himself to being interrogated by their STAFF LAWYERS. I guess even they realize they’re just not very smart or very good at their jobs.
