Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) used his opening statement at Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr wisely. He began right after Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) spent several minutes painting Barr as someone who blindly does whatever President Trump tells him and has worked to destroy the integrity of the Justice Department. Nadler was particularly upset after the Trump administration sent federal agents into U.S. cities that have been steeped in violence after the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. According to Nadler, the DOJ is now just "a shadow of its former self."
When Jordan had the spotlight, he asked for a video to be shown. It began with clips of different media outlets referring to the riots we've seen these past few months as "peaceful protests." The video then cut to a presser about the death of retired black police captain David Dorn, who was killed during a riot in St. Louis as he was helping protect a local business.
The video proceeded to show other footage of rioters toppling statues, looting local businesses, and running over police officers. It was scary, scary stuff. I've included the video here but be warned it does have some graphic and disturbing footage.
Jordan then thanked AG Barr for working to restore the rule of law and speaking out against the Defund the Police movement. He added that the Democrats have "absolutely nothing" on him.
"And so all they got left is to attack the Attorney General who had the courage to state the truth right from the get-go," Jordan said.
Nadler complained that the minority did not give them a 48-hour notice that they were going to be playing the video.
Right. Because that's the main issue.
calm thyself, for the hour of harvest is not yet come.
Thanks, just needed to vent.
Since the end of WWII, has there ever been a AG that defies their POTUS? Democrats act like it is unusual for the AG to follow the policy prescriptions of their President. I just assumed the AG was a yes man as they have been for at least the last five Presidents.
There is no evidence that police killed George Floyd. There is abundant evidence that his blood levels of morphine, fentanyl, and norfentanyl, were the same as the average levels of those drugs in a rash of overdose deaths in the Southeast.
I wish conservative sources would quit implying that it’s settled.
If this country votes these criminals in and gives them more power in November, God help us. I just don’t see it. I think these scumbags have overplayed their hand and they’ve unleashed a swarm of hornets they can’t control.
We are all watching! And we are waiting for our time. All your phony polls will not discourage us because we hate what you are and the evil you stand for.
I heard the same thing. People switched over to see if CNN was showing it and they were.
Unfortunately, that will never happen. Jordan is a very short man. The USA has historically elected tall men to the presidency.
Thats a nasty horrible thing to say. Shame on you!
Prepare for it. I hope I’m wrong. I hope it can be stopped. But after they lose in 2020, that’s the next thing they’ll do.
Duh, didn’t all these commies kiss obama’s skinny black ass and do EXACTLY as he told them to do???? I think, YES, yes they did!!!
I do not see the video or a link anywhere. Where is the video?

It is on this page.
My hub said he was watching CNN and they played it.
Thank you kindly for the link, cgbg.
That Hobbit is a piece of garbage not to mention an incredibly stupid man, just more proof to me that elections in New York are utterly fixed just like California.
Nice work, Congressmen Jordan! Brave you are. We are with you.
Campaign ads of this footage should run on all stations all the time. Message: Don’t let the terrorists win; vote Trump, vote Republican.
Jordan is one of the best. Take no prisoners!
Maybe Nadler Has Dementia? being he doesnt recall any violence?
