Stone threatened the life of the witness - because he's a friend of the president he still got off.

All Barr can say is, "The judge agreed with me!" - He's practically yelling.

Is speaking, Barr’s body language shows he was really angry about the previous questions by the previous Rep.

Ah! And now he uses Roby’s time to rebutt!

And of course she allows it!

He should be fired for that right there.

I know ketamine. It’s dangerous unless used very judiciously and should NOT be used in trying to subdue someone.

to chokeholds and ketamine which killed him vs another armed white man who was calmly arrested with no chokeholds and even got Burger King brought to him for dinner.

She points out that while the laws are supposed to be equal the laws are not applied equally - the percentage of Black incarcerations vs population percentage is greater than it should be.

Barr is describing the “group”.

He is NOT stating what Antifa stands for.

It is AntiFacists!

My gawd! They are against Facism!

I’m so sick of this crap.

Describe what Antifa actually means.

If he did, it would blow the DOJ‘S excuse for going after those people who are simply fighting Facists in this country.

Asking about Russian interference- Barr agrees it exists.

Barr claiming not to know whether the election date can be moved, Richmond reads the pertinent Constitutional rule- Barr still says he's never been asked so he doesn't know. Sad he couldn't give a straight answer on this.

Asking about mail in voting and whether Barr thinks mail-in voting can be rigged, Barr claims 'wholesale' mail in voting can lead to fraud.

Barr tried to blame the lack of COVID testing on Obama. Jeffries called that a lie.

Added Note: Being called a liar doesn't bother him but questions about Roger Stone pisses him off. I find that interesting.
