Attorney General William Barr dealt with hours of disrespect from House Democrats during Tuesday’s hearing with blunt truth, snappy comebacks and even mocking laughter.The attorney general, who was repeatedly insulted by Democrats grandstanding during a contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at times grew frustrated with their interruptions and refusals to let him answer questions they bombarded him with. One exchange with Democrat Rep. Madeleine Dean seemed to confirm Barr’s disbelief at the clown show when all he could do was laugh. (Tweet/Video) Dean lectured Barr about his role in directing federal agents to allegedly clear protesters out of Washington, D.C.’s Lafayette Park last month ahead of
It will anger the hell out of you watching this exchange!

They need a rule change in the House of Representatives. When a member finishes asking a question to a witness, the time that it takes a witness to answer the question should not be counted against the member’s allotted time. The member also should not be allowed to cut off a witness’s answer. After the witness finishes answering, the member’s time should again be counted. Such a rule would do away with members yelling that they want to recover their time. Members would also no longer be able to filibuster their own hearings to stop witnesses from having a chance to answer questions put to them as occurred yesterday.

They are obviously thinking the voters will forget this come November. No, we won't!

I have watched quite of a bit of the hearing and it was the single most disreputable and disgusting politicized event I have ever witnessed. An absolute disgrace to our nation.
Had I been Attorney General Barr I would have laughed, stood up, packed my belongings, told them that I am "reclaiming my time" ,and WALKED OUT! To hell with them and their grandstanding masquerading as a much hyped up dog and pony show of a hearing.
Democrats will be the death of this nation!

I'm very encouraged. All these years, I've been convinced most of Congress was absolutely corrupt. However, there is no way someone that "dirty" would dare subject the Attorney General of the United States to this vile attempt at humiliation. So, I'm figuring the entire House Judiciary Committee has not a smidgen of scandal amidst that whole pile of blubber.

He should have said to them what Cheney said to Leahy and then got up and walked out.

The Dems were more interested in manufacturing soundbites to be used during their reelection campaigns. I hope enough fence-sitting Americans watched this to influence their decision on which party they want representing them. I was thoroughly ashamed that my country has been reduced to a laughable status.

What I saw was the Dems cutting him off so they could use the incomplete answer in a perjury trap but Barr was having none of that.

Scummy rats claiming the protestors were peaceful moms and vets who wouldn't hurt a fly. Except when they tried to burn the church at the center of the contrived controversy. Somehow the rats think people who work to have nice things will ignore the absolute criminal destruction and murder around the country.

Barr is a superhero!
He remembered: When you're enemy is destroying himself don't get in the way.
And, let's not pretend, most elected mmembers of the Democratic party are no longer the loyal opposition but traitors to the United States of America and our Constitution.

A disgrace like that hearing was bad for the image of America all over the world, as these days people all over the world who have never been to America have access to watch that hearing. What happened is that the Democrats essentially filibustered their own hearing and did not accomplish a thing other than make themselves appear to be stupid.
