Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee squandered their one and only opportunity to expose Attorney General Barr as the rule -of -law -breaking charlatan he is. Instead of asking probing questions supported by record facts, the representatives generally repeated, in long soliloquies, well known accusations of Mr. Barr's widespread acts of corruption. Once again the Democratic members of the committee demonstrated their utter inability to interrogate in an effective, meaningful manner. Well qualified questioners could have confronted Mr. Barr with his prior contradictory statements, compelled him to acknowledge his unprecedented intrusion in criminal cases to favor presidential allies, explore his mischaracterization of the Mueller Report and expose his misuse of armed federal forces in the streets of the nation.
Republican members of the committee, similarly, used the hearing to further the Trump campaign strategy of painting a picture of chaos in cities and alleged spying by Democrats.
The net result; undecided viewers gained no new insights and were left to wade through competing, well worn rants in search of underlying truth.
