House Democrats blasted Attorney General William Barr for refusing to appear at their hearing on Thursday a day after much of the nation was transfixed on his testimony to the Senate on his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
Barr skipped the House Judiciary Committee hearing because he objected to Democratic demands that their staff counsel be able to question him.
Democrats went forward with the theater of the hearing anyway, setting up an empty chair for the absent attorney general. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) brought a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken to the morning event, and accused Barr of being a coward after it ended.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) tore into Barr, accusing him of failing to check President Trumps worst instincts and misrepresenting Muellers findings.

Barr screwed up thinking he could out smart Democrats in the question and answer, yeah right. He looked like the fool he is. Republicans looked like pre schoolers.
These are the people who are trying to run the country and they are failing big time. Putin must be pleased.

(10,252 posts)They keep flipping us the bird because they don't give a damn if we call them dreadful names. Put Barr in jail for contempt. Issue a subpoena. Get the inspector general involved. Send the House Sgt at Arms and the US Marshalls to arrest his ass.
