I appreciate Nadler outlining and knocking down in his opening statement the excuses expected from the 'pubs.

Very important when Gym Jordan is the chosen pitbull for the other side.

Jordan: “Bill Barr is doing the Lord’s work.”

I’m so sick of these Republicans. They should all be voted out, except there are idiots who keep voting them in.

I wonder what kind of cold cream Jordan uses to get all that Kabuki make-up off at night.

Ah yes, the old “predicated FBI counter-intelligence investigation” as ‘spying’ routine. A classic.

“The sickness that we must address is Mr. Barr’s use of the Department of Justice as a weapon to serve the president’s petty, private interests. The cancer that we must root out is his decision to place the President’s interests above those of the American people.”

Go Zelinsky! Ignore that fool with a tiny hammer.

So the Chair is disrespecting?..but tapping like an idiot is respectful?! STFU.

Wow, Ayer is refusing to stop reading his opening statement while Gohmert, I think, sits at his desk banging something like a toddler throwing a fit in his highchair.

“Mr. Chairman, will you have Gene Krupa removed?”

And not just madness and illness, but also goobers with something criminal to hide–taking refuge, against the arm of the law, in their loyalty to a psychopath.

I just tuned in. Isn’t there something Nadler can do to get Gomer Pyle to stop? He’s just sittinig there like a lump and isn’t taking command of the situation. Nadler always seems like a tired and defeated man who’s basically given up and just wants it all to go away.

FWIW he used to be my rep when I lived on the UWS and even then he came across as a party hack who just followed leadership’s orders. I like the ones who make noises and raise a stink, like AOC and Tlaib, occasionally even getting things done. Good things.

So…they don’t care if Trump or Bill Barr follow rules, but endless “points of order” about nada.

A microcosm of the Republican Party.

Respectfully, Darr, that’s not true. No Republican seems to care but there are hundreds of Democrats who seem to care quite a bit.

Burying the DoJ line lawyers in their own paperwork…Barr is either the devil or his advocate.

When does Gohmert start banging the table with his shoe?
