Reclaiming My Russiagate Time

Of course, the big news of the day was Attorney General William Barr's "testimony" before the House Committee on Unanswered Speeches. I featured his prewritten opening statement yesterday. Lisa Barkoukis at Town Hall said Barr Holds Nothing Back in Opening Statement Before House Judiciary Committee. You can watch the entire proceedings (I don't recommned it if you have high blood pressure) at CTH in sundance's 10:00am ET Livestream – U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr Testifies to House Judiciary Committee…. It got off to a late start because Rep. Nadler got into a car wreck before he got into this car wreck. Sundance also passes along Jim Jordan Opening Statement: “They Are Attacking Bill Barr” to Protect Themselves From “Obama Spying Operations”…



Matt Palumbo at Bongino, Jim Jordan Exposes Jerry Nadler During AG Barr Hearing. Ugh, sorry about that mental image. Ace, Barr Hearing Thread

As you might guess, Democrats spent their time then tacitly, or even explicitly, supporting the terrorism of their antifa allies and BLM shock troops.

Jim Jordan's opening statement/"question" was a video recap of the "mostly peaceful protests."

Nadler shrieked about it.

Noted by Sundance,  AG Bill Barr Outlines the Scope of USAO John Bash “Unmasking” Investigation….

During a questioning session by Rep. Jim Jordan, AG Bill Barr outlines a secondary, parallel, investigation ongoing by U.S. Attorney John Bash [@01:40 of video]. In his response AG Barr notes the breakout investigation assigned to Bash to review the unlawful unmasking of Donald Trump campaign officials.

Matt Vespa at Town Hall highlights the phrase of the day, The One Phrase That Must Be Banned Immediately After House Democrats' Shameful Hearing with AG Barr and Stacy McCain, Democrats Debut New 2020 Campaign Slogan: ‘Reclaiming My Time!’

Yesterday, while I was working on an American Spectator column, my office TV was tuned to the House Judiciary Committee hearing where Attorney General William Barr was testifying and the performance by the committee’s Democrats of a loathsome kabuki theatre. Every Democrat unloaded a sort of sermon accusing Barr of various malfeasances — treason, conspiracy, murder, etc. — and then, when Barr would begin to answer, his interrogator would interrupt: “Reclaiming my time!”

Barr remained calm during this abusive treatment. At one point, interrupted by California Democrat Lou Correa, Barr responded: “This is a hearing. I thought I was the one who was supposed to be heard?”

Damn that Barr, threatening to follow the law! More, WaEx, Barr: Irresponsible for Pelosi to refer to federal officers as 'storm troopers' and at Da Wire, AG Barr Defends Sending Federal Agents To Portland: ‘Since When Is It Okay To Burn Down A Federal Courthouse?’

“‘The president wants footage for his campaign ads, and you appear to be serving it up to him as ordered,” Nadler claimed. “The protesters aren’t mobs, they’re mothers, they’re veterans and mayors.”

“What unfolds nightly around the courthouse cannot reasonably be caused protest, it is by any objective measure an assault on the government of the United States,” Barr fired back. “Since when is it OK to burn down a federal courthouse?”

“The rioters come equipped for fighting,” Barr said, adding that what’s taking place nightly in Portland “cannot reasonably be called protests.”

Nadler then claimed that Antifa, a loose coalition of anarchist groups likely behind the unrest in many major cities, was also a “myth.”

Via sundance, DOJ Spokesbabe Kerri Kupec Discusses Tuesday’s Attorney General Testimony….



A "new" Declassified Senate Intelligence report shows strong doubts about Steele Dossier in December 2016 "CIA officials expressed strong doubts over FBI officials' efforts to include the Steele dossier in a report" (Fox)  and at Da Caller, Chuck Ross, Declassified Senate Report Details ‘Bitter Argument’ Between CIA And FBI Over Steele Dossier. Confirmation of old news.

Also Fox reports on a work of fiction, Former FBI agent Strzok to release book on Russia, Trump before election "Strzok is the latest official to come out with a book on Trump" and by Chuck Ross at  Da Caller, Peter Strzok Set To Publish Book Claiming That Trump Is Compromised By Russia. Remember, no one signs an oath before writing a book.

Julie Kelly, at AmGreat, reveals that the  Brookings Institution Flush with Qatari Cash, NeverTrump Donors. In the last few days it's been revealed that Brookings has also been involved with the production and distribution of the false, vile and salacious Steele Dossier.

Accepting millions from a state sponsor of terrorism, foisting one of the biggest frauds in history on the American people, and acting as a laundering agent of sorts for Democratic political contributions disguised as policy grants isn’t a good look for such an esteemed institution.

Twitchy, BOOM! Maria Bartiromo goes OFF while Valerie Jarrett squirms, avoids answering questions on new evidence around Steele dossier (watch)
