\n New York\u2019s own Rep. Jerry Nadler was in two car crashes Tuesday. The first left him uninjured but delayed the start of the House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr. In the second, he humiliated himself with his long-winded, unhinged attacks on the AG.<\/p>\n

Nadler\u2019s opening statement ran over 1,000 words, all to insist that Barr \u201chas twisted the Department of Justice into a shadow of its former self, capable of serving most Americans only after it has served those in power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barr has been \u201cflooding federal law enforcement into the streets of American cities, against the wishes of the state and local leaders of those cities, to forcefully and unconstitutionally suppress dissent,\u201d Nadler claims.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Justice Department doesn\u2019t have the staff to \u201cflood\u201d many cities, and its main program to send in help operates only with local agreement \u2014 such as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot\u2019s OK earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the FBI and other agencies work only to enforce federal laws, something they\u2019ve never needed local permission for.<\/p>\n

Nadler\u2019s really trying to pretend that the defense of the federal courthouse in Portland, Ore., against violent attacks including arson is somehow either 1) the first step in an effort to impose a fascist dictatorship or 2) a cynical effort to generate shocking images for Trump\u2019s campaign ads.<\/p>\n

The latter seems to have been what Nadler was trying to get at with pointless questions about Barr\u2019s discussions with Trump \u2014 when Cabinet officers routinely refuse to answer such queries, under presidents of either party.<\/p>\n

Nadler finished by asking Barr to vow \u201cthat the department will not use federal law enforcement as a prop in the president\u2019s reelection campaign\u201d \u2014 then interrupted the answer for a long closing rant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president wants footage for his campaign ads, and you app<\/a>ear to be serving it up to him as ordered,\u201d Nadler charged. \u201cIn most of these cities, the protests had begun to wind down before you marched in and confronted the protesters, and the protesters aren\u2019t mobs. They are mothers and veterans and mayors.\u201d<\/p>\n

What? The feds haven\u2019t confronted the rioters much outside Portland (and in one incident near the White House in DC). And the idea that none of them are mobs is absurd: Here in the city, \u201cprotesters\u201d have done more than $1 million in damage to NYPD vehicles alone.<\/p>\n

As for Portland: The assaults on the federal courthouse and adjacent state Justice Center started no later than \u201cRiot Night,\u201d May 29, which led Mayor Ted Wheeler to fret about \u201cwatching my city get destroyed\u201d and set an 8 pm curfew.<\/p>\n

Whatever the \u201cmothers and veterans\u201d were doing, the most radical elements began nightly assaults on the two buildings, smashing windows and hurling rocks and bottles.<\/p>\n

The weekend of July 4 (and ever since), they added in commercial-grade fireworks, setting alight the plywood that had covered the windows for weeks. And those were far from the first, or only, attempts at arson.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until the week of July 16 that Washington sent additional forces to Portland, so Nadler\u2019s \u201cthe protests had begun to wind down\u201d talk is sheer fantasy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sad state of affairs when the chairman of the Judiciary Committee doesn\u2019t give a damn about the truth.<\/p>\n

All in all, it was a vast waste of time: Even CNN reporters found it ridiculous, as Kaitlan Collins tweeted, \u201cGood to know that congressional hearings have not lost their ability to be embarrassing for all parties involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notably, Joe Biden suddenly decided to hold his first press conference in more than a month: Maybe his campaign realized it needed to distract from Nadler\u2019s circus.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
