No Holds Barr-ed at the House Lynch Session

I watched a few hours of the Tuesday "Hearing" before the House Judiciary Committee, where one obnoxious Democrat after another - with the occasional rare exception of one or two Democrats who simply believe differently but do so honorably and elegantly - tried to grill Barr and take him down.

Most Americans do not know this, but by law a congressional representative is permitted to say anything at a hearing, no matter how false, no matter how defamatory, and they cannot be sued for perjury or defamation.

So a Democrat can call Barr the most filthy names, make the most baseless accusations, compare him or the president to Hitler or Stalin or Castro, and they are scot-free.

For the Democrats the hearing was "No holds barred." No lie was off the table.

These riots erupt as the latest chapter in a vicious effort for three years by Democrats to tear down the freely elected government of the United States.

As one looks back on a decade of Sessions, Lynch, and Holder, one emerges with even greater admiration of Attorney General Barr for the way he masterfully presented himself through a no-holds barred House session where Democrats were intent on politically lynching him and the president.

Barr made his case powerfully, and Jim Jordan amplified it with that extraordinary film montage.
