(Update: Nadler adjourned the hearing shortly after it began. Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-Ga.) fumed in his opening statement that Nadler is trampling the rights of the minority, refusing to consider their points of order. At the end of the brief and contentious hearing, Nadler turned off the microphone of one Republican, Rep. Matt Gaetz, whose point of order was ignored.) (CNSNews.com) - An empty chair was the only witness at this morning´s brief hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. Attorney General William Barr told the committee he would not appear Thursday morning, given the Democrats´ insistence that he

Nadler and his Dem cronies are too stupid to ask their own questions.
It is their duty, but they cannot do so.
Impeach these dopes for incompetence.

They want to set up perjury traps and put Barr on trial. Barr realizes that.

It´s one thing to be call to be questioned by Congress critters, but there´s no reason he should have to answer to whoever these idiots decide to throw at him.
Glad to hear the administration isn´t taking any carp.

To every question asked by the dems, Barr should have politely replied "pound sand."
Mr. Barr deserves a pay raise for sitting there and having his precious time wasted by these fools in the House Of Representatives,
Jerry Nadler being the biggest fool. (I want to give credit where credit is due.)

Nadler is attempting to bully both fellow members of his committee and senior Executive Branch officials.
His dictatorial edicts show that he is very insecure and in need of controlling everything, likely to try to hide his inadequacies and make himself relevant.
Nadler should be impeached for abuse of power.

The subpoena, if there is one, will be referred to the DOJ, which is run by........Bill Barr. Silly games. Nadler has a lot of nerve thinking he also runs the Executive Branch. He doesn’t.

Barr holds a cabinet level position. In the current circumstance he can only be questioned by elected members of congress. NOT their staffers or lawyers. Nadler, as usual is lying.

Every single citizen in the US should be teeried of question from COngress. Congress isn´t interested in the truth, justice or the American way. Congress isonly interested in perjury traps. Gotchas with jsiltime. Any US citizen ask to answer questions from Congress should use their 5th Amendment rights. Barr is right to avoid what is obviously a perjury trap.

Nowhere in AG Barr´s job description does it say he is required to subject himself to an Inquisition by the House.
The left got their "Gotcha" questioning and grandstanding accomplished in yesterday´s Senate Hearing.

They want to have staff attorneys ask the questions because they know Barr can and will make them look foolish and their next election opponents will then have video to play of them sounding idiotic.
And I don´t think these weasels ´terrify´ anybody.

So we are at the 4th grade level of "your a chicken" or "scaredy cat, scaredy cat"...can the double dog dare be far behind in Nadler´s childish tantrum?
He knows he has NO power to compel AG Barr to talk to staffers, and he is just kicking and screaming like the rotten brat of a child that he is.

"Terrified" describes Nadler and his fellow Dems. They know what´s coming down the pike when the IG and the AG finishing rummaging through the DOJ and FBI closets.

Sounds like the dems are too lazy to read the Mueller report themselves.

To date, I believe only 2 members have read the un-redacted Mueller report, and they are two Republicans.
I think Nadler and the Democrats are starting to realize Barr is going to actually do his job, and is actually investigating the "matter". This has to make the nervous, as the domino´s are likely to fall over the next few weeks and months.

Nadler and his Democrat minions are a disgrace. They cannot even extend the courtesy to fellow Republicans on the committee to ask questions. Hey, Dimms, keep stuffing your fat faces with that greasy Kentucky Fried Chicken, since you don´t know how to do anything else!

Not only are the Democrats on the committee too stupid to ask their own questions, they obviously are too stupid to ask questions that their committee staff attorneys could write down for them to ask.

Maybe Ms. Lindsey could take note and shut down the microphones of those clowns, Mad Mattie Hirono, DaNang Dick, Willie Browns couch cushion, Sparticus and Feckless Feinstein. If Nadler and Schiffhead can do it, it must be established practice.

They are trying to recreate the optics of either Watergate or the impeachment hearings. Doesn´t matter to them if it is all bogus. But it would look great for their campaigns next year. Barr isn´t stupid, and this isn´t his first rodeo congressman.
You proved yesterday with the total committee meltdown on video you can´t compete. At least not honestly. I have never seen somebody so dumb that they can make their fellow NY´er Crying Chuck Schumer look intelligent.

At the same time The Speaker is wandering around in an alcohol fueled rage snarling that "He lied" and "It´s a crime".
With such disorder in the House, Barr should STAY AWAY until somebody figures out how to manage the floor.
Oh, and Cabinet Secretaries are never questioned by staff ~ somebody said not in 235 years in fact.
Another complaint about Nadler is he seems totally unaware of what country he lives and works in ~ almost like he thinks his old buddy Joe Stalin is still running things.
