Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan condemned Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee for what became a pattern of asking questions of Attorney General William Barr only to interrupt and not allow him to answer.Jordan, the top Republican on the panel, noted hours into the hearing that Democratic members had repeatedly cut off Barr while shouting that they were "reclaiming my time." He asked why Democrats even invited Barr to testify if they were not going to allow him to fully answer their queries."I don't think we've ever had a hearing where the witness wasn't allowed to respond to points made, questions asked, and attacks —

How considerate of the leftoids to give everyone a recap of the Kavenaugh treatment (via Barr) this close to the election. Perhaps some in the squishy middle will have forgotten their abysmal treatment of Kavanaugh by now. No worries! They're showcasing their vileness again today.
I think I might just write a few of them to express my appreciation for their public display of vicious behavior.

Heck, it isn't even a good show trial. At a show trial, the railroaded defendant is allowed only to admit to his crimes, real or imagined (usually the former) and is then hauled off for the summary execution.
In this case, we aren't going to stand for the show trial. I really hope that, by some fate that would have to be given by the Man Upstairs (because the Republican Party sure won't do it on their own) that the GOP takes over the House, that the same onerous rules which afflicted the Republicans are turned on the Democrats. But they won't.

After watching that debacle how can anyone be proud to call themselves a liberal. I’ve often said the most insulting thing I can call someone is you act like a ‘democrat.

The demosluts are like little spoiled brats. When they don't like what anyone is saying, they start with, LA, LA, LA, LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

I watched most of the "hearing" and was appalled by the behavior of Chairman Nadler and many Democrats on the committee.
Nadler repeatedly made procedural rulings that denied Barr and ability to speak, either to answer a question posed to him or address an accusation made against him.
Many committee members are attorneys yet they frequently formed conclusions without any evidence that supported those conclusions. The bedrock principle of innocent until proven guilty was routinely ignored.
Nadler has made a laughingstock of the House Judiciary Committee and destroyed its credibility.
What a waste of taxpayer money!

They clearly don't respect the law nor their own House procedures. They are the Party of anarchy and should be treated as such.

Why call it a hearing?
Barr does not get to speak.
Where was the scourging?
Where was the crown of thorns?
Where was the crucifixion?
Should be called a hectoring.
Was not a hearing.

Democrat : Do you beat your wife?
AG Bart : No I do not.
Democrat : Reclaiming my time. The answer is yes you do.
That about sums up this show trial.

Not surprised with Democrats' behavior. They have become Satan's puppets and messengers. Everything they do is Evil and Corrupt.

The demonrats were just preening for the cameras. Barr should have told them all to eff off and then walked out.

AG Barr should have told the dims to shove it sideways and school them as to acting more mature than children. Rather strange that dims would willingly choose to make asses of themselves on camera.

AG Barr should do his best imitation of Eric Holder and just blow them off from now on. He can cite today's treatment as his reason.
