Andrew McCarthy: Dems use hearing for political attacks on Barr and Trump – uninterested in hearing from AG
What happened on Capitol Hill Tuesday was a debacle to despair over
OPINION - By Andrew McCarthy | National Review
Democrats self-destruct at House hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr
If it’s a “hearing,” Attorney General Bill Barr asked with an irked tongue in cheek, “aren’t I the one who’s supposed to be heard?”
His frustration was more than justified. Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., and the other Democrats who control the House demanded for months that Barr come to a “hearing” and “testify.” But of course, it wasn’t anything like an actual hearing, and they didn’t want him to testify — as in actually answer questions.

Some days, it just feels like we’re doomed. This is one of those days. And not simply because this should have been an important oversight hearing featuring an important witness — one whom a serious committee would have wanted both to hear out and to challenge. It is, after all, the nature of the Justice Department’s work that there are many tough judgment calls; no one gets them all right.
What happened on Capitol Hill Tuesday was a debacle to despair over because Democrats do not act this way because they are preternaturally rude. They act this way because their voters expect and demand that they act this way.
