Hypocrisy Alert. In Their Own Words Dems Make Best Defense for Attorney General Barr

Either what they said before IN UNISON was based on principle or it's just politics and what they say today can be totally ignored!



Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and the Dems all chorltling about a "witch hunt" and how fast the GOP is advancing the case against Holder. Compare the more than EIGHT MONTHS the GOP House spent negotiating with the Obama Administration at that time to the less than three weeks Dems spent with Barr.

A reminder of just how different these two cases are to highlight not only utter hypocrisy but totally unprincipled, political stand:

Nadler's show trial, not Barr, deserves to be held in contempt

by Washington Examiner

...Congress invokes official contempt charges rarely, indeed only three times in the past 35 years. It is meant to be a last resort. But in 2012, the last time it was used, Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt for refusing to provide Congress with subpoenaed material, and Holder was a Democrat. So this is payback. But it should be noted that Holder had by then defied Congress for 203 days before House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., first formally threatened him with contempt charges. Even then, Issa gave Holder an additional 48 days before his committee actually held a vote. And Issa was demanding answers about a Justice Department scandal that had actually resulted in the murder of at least one government official.

In shockingly sharp contrast, Nadler went from subpoena to contempt vote in 19 days, without evincing any desire to negotiate with the Justice Department over what could properly be shared by the committee. Nadler isn’t approaching this as one in which he should work out an agreement between two co-equal branches of government, which would be perfectly possible in this case if both sides were willing to be reasonable. Instead, he’s running a show trial to gin up enthusiasm among angry Democratic donors, both small and large.

What's more, and worse, is that Nadler's show trial is in pursuit of an end that is manifestly wrong. Barr’s efforts to protect privileged grand jury materials are not only justifiable but specifically mandated by law. Nadler has not a leg to stand on. Every single House Democrat on that committee knows and understands this. Yet not one objected to the circus in which they played the role of sundry clowns.

In the video Pelosi said then that the Congress should be working to get jobs for the American people, not engaging in witch hunts. Since the Dems took over, they've done NOTHING but the witch hunt. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) leads a chant at the end of the video "SHAME ON YOU." Yes, the shame should fall on these witch hunt hoaxsters who don't care about the American people!
