House Democrats have been waiting for more than a year to grill Attorney General Bill Barr, a man they’ve accused of all manner of professional misconduct—including repeatedly and inappropriately intervening to protect President Donald Trump and deploying federal agents to incite violence in American cities.
Today they finally had their chance, as Barr testified, at long last, before the House Judiciary Committee. For Trump and Barr’s toughest critics, however, it was a frustrating experience. Barr defended the Justice Department’s handling of protests in Portland, Oregon, and other cities—“We’re not out to cause trouble,” he said—and his decision to order a reduction in the sentence that federal prosecutors had requested

Berman's description of the Impeachment farce is nearly comical. He made it sound like only NOW, have theDemocrats begun stumbling around. What a bunch of keystone cops!!

The Demonrats can't "nail" Barr because Gen. Barr hasn't done anything to be "nailed" for.
Russell's a moroff.

"He (Barr) denied that there was “systemic racism” in police departments across the country, but was barely pressed to defend that assertion." Maybe because no one can define systemic racism. Where this is headed was forshadowed by Hank Johnson's castigating Barr for not bringing Blacks into the DOJ when he took office. If Biden wins, look for diversity mandates in every board of directors from the school board to every company with more than 50 employees.

Democrats can't nail a nail they're stupid. Their chairman, Nadler, wears his corona virus mask on his forehead he's so stupid. Clowns are suppose to make you laugh at their dumb antics and that's what democrats are, clowns.

I really can't imagine what it's like - - to be as delusional as these crazed lefties.
Those of us who are blessed with sane, rational minds - - are at a disadvantage trying to understand these loonies.

They can't nail Barr because he is too smart and he has truth on his side.

Why can't the Democrats nail Barr....SIMPLE....Barr tells the truth and the Democrats are lying jackals who can't handle the truth... intuitively obvious to the most casual observer

Bill Barr is quite possibly the Last Honest Man left in Washington D.C. He's certainly more honest than the Dem hitsquad that yelled at him at his "hearing". What a joke! They could've gotten a Barr Fathead poster and yelled at that for four hours.

I have no problems defining systemic/institutional racism. Because its mother ship is the democrat party, the creator of all the worst things that happened in our nation's history. Like the Klan and defense of slavery, Jim Crow, making blacks take tests before they can vote, segregation, fighting against Civil Rights, LBJ and his welfare which destroyed black families as a whole in the inner cities, Identity politics, treating various groups as monolithic and so on. I am sure there is a whole lot more.
Oh and lest we forget, things like AA, quotas for employment and school admittance, treating minorities like incapable children instead of adults. If all this is not systemic racism from the self proclaimed party of tolerance, I do not know what is.

With a biased lefty like Berman, in a rag like the Atlantic, citing other lefties berating the Ds behaviour in the Barr hearing....it's glaringly obvious the Ds did themselves no good, and for all to see. Dishonest, corrupt fools.

We know now why the Democrat Congress wanted legal staffers to ask Bill Barr. These congressmen and women are pure incompetent.

All you have to do is look at the sorry lot on that Judiciary Committee. Zoe Lofgren, that Garcia woman from Texas, Cohen the fried chicken guy, Swalwell the Nazy prison guard wannabe, ferrety Raskin…and of course Nadler the Fool. And Cicciline, a tiny man to match his tiny state of RI. And the rest, too numerous to mention. And that’s the best they have.
As someone mentioned, just look at them and you don’t have to wonder why Slo Joe is having trouble coming up with a VP.

The democrats didn't ''grill'' Barr. They simply made a series of monologues, using their worn-out talking points, and refused to allow AG Barr to respond. Besides that, they looked stupid!

If you haven’t already done so, go and read Goodwin’s article - the best I’ve seen:
