The Democratic Assault On The Rule Of Law

by E.P. Unum: Yesterday the nation was provided with a very sad, frustrating and troubling display by the House Judiciary Committee Chaired by Gerry Nadler (D) from New York.

Billed in the liberal media as an extraordinary opportunity to hear from the Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, on a wide range of issues, the American people were treated to a well rehearsed, well orchestrated example of political assault on an individual whose background, reputation and experience and service to our nation under two Presidents deserved far better.

It was certainly good that AG Barr was accorded the right to read his Opening Statement into the record at the outset because that is the only opportunity he had all day to testify about anything!

An integral part of addressing and solving problems is to first acknowledge that problems are real, they exist and require a thoughtful solution.

Therein lies the rub. Democrats to a person consider the rioting, looting, destruction of businesses, tearing down of monuments and statues, burning of and desecration of churches and houses of worship and the physical assault on police and federal agents as “peaceful protests”. Not one Democrat, in yesterday’s hearing or at any other time, has spoken out against all of the upheaval we have witnessed in cities like Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Houston and others. Indeed, when asked about the role of Antifa in all of these cities, Gerry Nadler declared that “this is all a myth. Antifa does not exist except in the minds of people in Washington D.C”

And, therein lies the central crux of the chaos we are seeing in our city streets.

Democrats are in denial because it does not fit their narrative that “all is well and if there are any problems they are all due to President Trump.”

Listening to Mr. Nadler articulate those tell-tale words and watching his behavior as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee yesterday and his total lack of respect…indeed, disdain…for Attorney General Barr, my thoughts ran back to another tragic stain on American Honor, the fiasco known as Benghazi. Recall, the words of then President Barack Obama who announced that Benghazi was the result of an obscure video (few people ever saw) made by an even more obscure individual that supposedly was “disrespectful” to the Prophet Mohammed.

Susan Rice, another Obama acolyte chimed in with the same explanation as did Hillary Clinton. All greeted the families of the four heroes who fought for nine long hours defending our consulate and perished in the assault, echoing the same lie. We were told that Benghazi was a sudden, unexpected spontaneous protest and that there was no way we could have gotten aid to those defending against the assault. They never bothered to explain why we never tried to help nor to explain why the U.S. Southern Command General Carter Hamm was told to “stand down” as he was preparing to dispatch military assets to assist in the Benghazi attack. We are still today awaiting that explanation.

All of these Pinocchio-like stories put forth by then President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and others were blatant falsehoods.

Spontaneous protests don’t arise with protesters showing up with mortars, RPG’s, Machine guns, AK-47’s and grenades. And we did have assets available that could have been dispatched but were prohibited from doing so because of the “stand down” order.

So, who has the juice to tell a four star combatant commander in the field to “stand down”? We have not heard a valid explanation on that point but the entire situation is a close parallel to what we have seen yesterday in the debacle that masked as a Judiciary Hearing
featuring AG Barr as the sole witness.

It has to be the first time in recorded history when a witness was called, put under oath, and was denied the opportunity to fully respond to questions from Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee. And it is astounding that Democrats on the Committee all day long echoed the party line that there was no problem. "All the protests were peaceful."

Almost universally, when AG Barr was asked a question by a House Democrat, as he attempted to answer, he was summarily cut off from doing so and the words spoken by each Democrat were…”Reclaiming my time” or “This is my time Mr. Barr and you are not responding to my question” followed by, once again, “reclaiming my time”.

I may be wrong, but it sure did appear that this was well rehearsed and well planned. The order of the day seemed to be “when AG Barr attempts to respond” interrupt him abruptly by saying “reclaiming my time”, then deflect attention by attacking him. Democrats did this brilliantly! But in doing so, they failed miserably in the Court of Public Opinion because Americans are way too smart to be fooled by this kind of rhetoric when they can see plainly for themselves what is happening and the carnage it has produced in our cities.

Democrats were not interested in hearing from AG Barr as much as they were interested in trying to intimidate or attack him. Their “questions” were not for the purpose of acquiring knowledge but displaying it. They were political statements and in some cases, such as Ms. Talib, condescending, arrogant and insulting. More importantly, democrats universally refused to acknowledge that what was occurring in cities like Portland was anything but “peaceful protests”; in other words, there were no problems. Time after time, Democrats attempted to pass off the ridiculous contention that “if there were problems, it was only because Trump sent in federal troops to attack the protesters”.

The fascinating thing for me is that Democrats actually believe that Americans are stupid and that they will believe the nonsense put forth by people like Gerry Nadler and that circus they called yesterday's Judiciary Hearing. Democrats are desperate to put forth their narrative that there really are no problems; that people are just upset with President Trump and that once Joe Biden is elected, all the frustration and difficulties will go away.

You have eyes and you have ears. You can see and hear what is going on. Is this what you want for your future? Lawlessness, constant fear, destruction of your property and businesses? Is this the future you want for your children?

You have the power to avoid this in November.

Act worthy of yourselves.
