The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday teed up a clash with the Justice Department that could make Attorney General William Barr a no-show for his hearing before the Democrat-led panel.
“It will permit this committee to examine the facts thoroughly,” said Rep. Jerry Nadler , the chairman of the panel. “If a staff member wants to ask questions, run for Congress,” said Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee.
Politico- how about covering how the House Judiciary Com has deviated from serving America. Nadler and team is going down rabbit holes in search of finding what they WANT to hear rather than seeing truth & appreciation of professionals like AG Barr
SethAbramson 🚨 Put a placard at Barr’s empty seat. Ask every question as planned. Finish each inquiry with “Mr. Barr declines to answer.” GET IT ALL ON THE RECORD.
Dems just want it go on and on and on....
SethAbramson HOLD BARR IN CONTEMPT IF HE DOESN'T APPEAR. HAVE HIM ARRESTED. BEGIN IMPEACHMENT HEARINS FOR TRUMP AND BARR NOW! RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi
Anything for show.
Excellent
Wait. There's no one on the judiciary committee smart enough to go toe to toe with Barr? They need staff lawyers to do THEIR JOB? If they aren't smart enough to ask pertinent questions, why are they sitting on the Judiciary Committee?
SethAbramson Oh... 👀 First they wouldn't sit by and let Trump get away with committing high crimes and misdemeanors, and now they won't stand for it. DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY DEMOCRATS. ImpeachTrumpNow
SethAbramson Good. Now when that lying POS doesn't show up, issue the damn subpoena already. Then, when Barr ignores it, have the SAA arrest him and put his ass in jail until he appears and testifies under oath. Enough of this BS already!
To the House Judiciary Committee: PLEASE ASK Barr if he read the whole Mueller Report!
SethAbramson Anyone who saw what Kamala Harris did to him in 6 minutes knows what a similarly competent real live practicing attorney unfettered by ridiculous timing rules would do to Barr. Of course he won't agree to this. He's a lying sack, but he ain't stupid. barrhearing
SethAbramson After today, they better stick to their terms!
DOJ has already said he will not testify under those guidelines, why did they waste time on a vote Dems are idiots! They can’t stand they didn’t get their way so now they are throwing temper tantrums!! Very fun to watch them lose their minds😂😂
I wonder why Barr doesn't want to be subjected to questions from attorneys? 🤔
Unless the goal is to let BaghdadBarr perjure himself further, there is no reason to hear from Barr ever again. He should just resign tonight. We need to hear from Mueller himself.
SethAbramson So then lock his ass up!!
SethAbramson Amen.
TreasonHappens SO PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT ❤️❤️❤️ 🇺🇸
All Nadler and the other Democrats are doing now is trying to keep their loony voters riled up.
Hope Barr doesn't attend the Demoncratic clown show.
SethAbramson When he gutlessly fails to show tomorrow, he MUST be immediately *cited* for contempt.
SethAbramson If he reneges Lock Him Up
Good...so Thursday is out. That stupid charade today was a waste of time for those interested in the truth. The democrats were certainly not.
Why do people think witnesses have any input into how they’re questioned? In what criminal proceeding do witnesses get a say?
He ain’t going
I hope he doesn't show up, you big cry babies
SethAbramson After his terrible display today, he will not show up
The AG thinks that he's above oversight? (Well, that does go hand-in-hand with his views on a 'unitary' (monarchical) executive.)
I can hear the clucking from here. Come on, AG Barr. You can take it.
