The fact that she had to interrupt him to finish her question speak volumes.

And, yes, I totally agree: she is brilliant!!

I could find a split-screen showing Barr's reaction, like I see in similar threads in which Jeffries and Swalwell rip his ass wide open.

As for Jayapal's teardown...Barr's probably still throwing a fit over it somewhere. "How dare a female speak to me in that manner!!," etc. etc. etc.

Had to post this tweet over in the, ‘Today's Hearing - Barr before House Judiciary Thread 1 Live’, and made sure to credit you.

I will probably go find other twitter based clips to post in those threads - really good to relate and how the attorney general continues to blow smoke for pResident’s benefit. I encourage others to do the same. Increase the visibility of how barr misuses his office.

He has always been thus. His existence is to do anything, and everything, to advance the ideology of utter bullshit that is republicanism. I am still surprised that his head can fit up the tRump asshole. The tRump asshole must be very large indeed.

property.

As if anyone believes Trump and Barr would not have sent in the feds if armed black protesters had stormed a red state Capitol building or threatened to lynch a Republican governor.

And if anyone tries to argue that Barr is only trying to protect federal property, remind them that Trump pardoned the people who took over a federal wildlife refuge and sparked a siege by militia men who trained automatic weapons on federal agents.

for the covidiots to walk into the state Capitol with long guns.
That's why the Michigan State Police didn't run them out or arrest them.
Hey Barr is complicit and Rep. Jayapal has my respect, but I feel the MSP would have removed the protestors if allowed to. Feds not needed or wanted, thanks.
It is my opinion it took a lot of courage and restraint to not react to these asshats.
