House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler rules over his committee like a soviet official conducting a show trial.
Since Nadler throws the rules out the window to let his witnesses drone on and on, Rep. Louie Gohmert decided to demonstrate the importance of rules and order by disrupting a Democratic witness who wouldn't stop talking.
Former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer was testifying that Attorney General William Barr posed "The greatest threat ... to our rule of law and public trust in it." Ayer himself then ignored House Rules by proceeding to testify for several minutes beyond his allotted time.
"And if there are no rules about when people can talk, there are no rules about when you can make noise."
"You're being grossly unfair. ... Either we have rules or we don't."
"... according to House Rules, a chairman cannot capriciously determine the five-minute rule at the whim of what he wants," said Rep. Doug Collins during a point of order.
Katie reported earlier that Attorney General Bill Barr has accepted an invitation from Jerry Nadler to testify before the House Judiciary Committee during a general oversight committee meeting scheduled for July 28.
