Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: “Do you commit to not release the Durham report before the election?”
AG Barr: No
She also mentioned she was shocked at Barr's lack of respect for her. I wish he'd have simply stated, "Madam, make no mistake, I have exactly zero respect for you as you are unworthy of mine or anyone else's respect." Barr was far more respectful than he needed to be, but that's a testament to who William Barr is.

I do not however think their antics will win over anyone else. So in the end, the lipstick whores on that committee got their 15 minutes to grandstand, but won nothing important.
Barr probably chuckled all the way back to his office over how stupid these morons are.
I think this is a plausible evaluation of this. The silent majority will turn out. Now if the dead people just stay home....

I watched about 3 hours. Just what I expected from the Dem. Barr handled himself very well.

Sure, I like hearing Barr, but I have to say that if you don't enjoy the Sean Hannity format, you won't like any of these kinds of hearings.
It's a long string of grand standing, followed by a question that's framed for a specific answer, followed by ZERO time for the expert to give a response that would actually do the public any good to hear.

video at link of the DEM Madeleine Dean "questioning" AG Barr
Barr laughs at her.
She provides the classic performance of a pompous ass spouting bullshit in a faked and offended delivery.
Watching that clip was tough. What a bitch. If the whole hearing we like that, Barr is a saint for not telling these asshats to Fuck Off.
She talks about respect for Congress, she needs to show respect to the AG. I don't recall the Republicans doing that to Holder, maybe they did and I don't remember.
How I hope an pray the Democrats get crushed in the upcoming election

Also, from the link in sdy's post:
POSTED ON JULY 28, 2020 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN DEMOCRATS, WILLIAM BARR
"One more thing: perhaps the only non-rhetorical question in today’s hearing came from Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: “Do you commit to not release the Durham report before the election?” Barr’s answer: “No.” Obamagate is the reason why the Democrats undertook to demonize Attorney General Barr before he was even sworn in. They know it is a chink in their armor, and they have no defense against the facts except to defame the messenger. Hence their over-the-top attacks on William Barr. Whether the Durham report and/or indictments will arrive in time to do any good is another matter."
pompous ass DEM Madeleine Dean goes on MSNBC and says
"You saw his affect yesterday. He was disrespectful. Spoke over top of every one of us. In particular he spoke over women. He was flanked by at least 10 staffers, not a person of color among them."
The constant DEM mantra: always paint women and blacks as victims being held down. Only DEMs can "free" them
In the video of the actual "questioning" when Barr starts laughing, Dean puts up a 2009 science and technology study that pepperballs make an ideal chemical dispensing system.
She then asks is he aware of his Dept's policy.
Barr says "what policy ?" she stutters the one I just provided to you.
Barr says "what did it say?"
Barr starts laughing. She says "perhaps you weren't listening"
Barr: "I didn't see the policy. What was the policy in there?"
As Barr starts to speak, Dean lectures him on interrupting her and switches the subject
No wonder the DEMs kept Barr from talking, he would have destroyed every single one of them

This is the House, not the Senate. They represent their constituents extremely well.
