A U.S. House committee convened on Thursday without Attorney General William Barr in attendance to discuss his handling of the Mueller report at a time of rising tensions between the Trump administration and Congress.
Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler told reporters that the hearing would go ahead in hopes that Barr would reconsider. Committee Democrats have vowed to issue a subpoena to try to force Barr to testify if he does not show up.

Can you imagine AOC reading and commenting on it?
They are terrified of Barr now that they know they can’t bully him....in making the attempt, they have pissed him off royally and they are in a corner of their own painting....
Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler says well he didn’t show lets play another round of grab ass.
They invited Joe Biden instead?
Cohen is a jerk. And all this shows is these idiots just want tv time. No matter what there are going to be no charges laid. Now, just go away Cohen.
What a bunch of PLUG=UGLIES.
I don’t say people have to be pretty, but I never have seen a whole political party be so unsightly.
It’s like a requirement.
