Democrats’ questions to Barr made them look like fools

In the battle unfolding in Congress between the Democrats and Attorney General William Barr, I’m on the side of the US Constitution. That means defending not only Barr but also President Trump. The two men stand on America’s legal bedrock.

Which is why Barr was able to make short work of his Democratic questioners at Wednesday’s hearing in the Senate. His calm, straightforward testimony made it clear that he isn’t the caricature the Democrats have been drawing of him.

And events aren’t the conspiracy they are still trying to validate, even after special counsel Robert Mueller’s finding that there was no collusion, actual or attempted, ­between Trump’s camarilla and the Kremlin. Nor any prosecutable obstruction case.

Yet no sooner did Barr, under pressure for an early summary, send a sketch of Mueller’s report to Congress than the Democrats started suggesting he had spun the story in favor of the president. That was the guts of the hearing in the Senate.

They could care less how they look, the sound bites that their braindead base will hear is all that matters.

Well said.

I just watched the morning session on CSPAN and during the break I caught the chaos over on the House side. That quarter ton of fun Jerry Nadler is CLUELESS about how to run a committee hearing. He runs a self-serving political circus that makes no effort to be fair or reasonable.

I won't be viewing the rest.

“Look like???” More like “exposed them.”

All of this was way too predictable. What’s most interesting to me is that Barr decided to simply not put up with a second day of abuse. So....the Senate Soviet-style show trial is scheduled to meet without him.

They are not questions. They are propaganda statements.

They are fools.

Fools who will constitute a majority in about a decade if something isn’t done soon.

“So....the Senate Soviet-style show trial is scheduled to meet without him.”

AG Barr already testified before the Senate. He refused to show up for the clown show in the House.
