Barr Beats Back Bullying Dems: ‘Since When Is It Okay To Try And Burn Down A Federal Court?’

AG Barr: Nightly riots cannot be called protests, ‘it is, by any objective measure, an assault’ on US gov

Barr Outmaneuvers the Democrats

Editorial of The New York Sun | July 28, 2020

If the hearing of Attorney General William Barr today made anything clear at all, it is this: The Democratic Party is unwilling to back up the federal authorities who are defending the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon. In four hours, the House heard from any Democrat nary the slightest expression of support of the officers who are on the front-line of this battle. The hearing will shock millions of Americans.

[,,,]

One Democrat after another, though, failed to show concern of any kind over the violence at Portland. No Democrat praised the courage of the federal officers. Instead, Democrats mocked President Trump’s motive for sending in officers as political.

Today Amerians learned otherwise. Attacks on federal property and personnel have been going on for weeks. The need for action is plain. Mr. Barr was unflappable, but blunt. One highlight came when he was being questioned by Congressman Steve Chabot, a Republican of Ohio. “Federal courts are under attack,” Mr. Barr said, before exclaiming: “Since when is it okay to try and burn down a federal court?”

That a U.S. attorney general has to make that point to Congress is itself amazing, and Mr. Barr marked it well. “This is the first time in my memory,” he said at one point, “that the leaders of one of our great two political parties — the Democratic Party — are not coming out and condemning mob violence and the attack on federal courts. Why can’t we just say, you know, violence against federal courts has to stop? Can we hear like that?”

Attorney General Barr’s treatment by the House Democrats in yesterday’s hearing was a total disgrace. It was wild. Rational Americans should be very frightened about the current state of the Democrat Party. This party is nuts.

“Every night for the past two months, a mob of hundreds of rioters has laid siege to the federal courthouse and other nearby federal property,” Barr told the House Judiciary Committee.

“The rioters arrive equipped for a fight, armed with powerful slingshots, Tasers, sledgehammers, saws, knives, rifles and explosive devices. Inside the courthouse are a relatively small number of federal law enforcement personnel charged with a defensive mission: to protect the courthouse.”

“Since when is it OK to try to burn down a federal court?” he demanded, saying that federal agents were taking the necessary steps to protect federal property, particularly in Portland.

Local officials in Portland say that the presence of federal law enforcement agencies in the city has been inflaming the situation, making the violence worse, not better.

Barr has also come under attack from Democrats for ordering the violent clearing of protesters outside the White House on June 1, a move that allowed Trump to have his photograph taken holding a Bible outside a historic church across the street. Widespread protests, including those outside the White House, were sparked by the killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who died in May after a Minneapolis police officer pinned him at his neck while he was begging for air.

Democrats more broadly attacked Barr on Tuesday for amplifying Trump’s conspiracy theories, seeking to instigate confrontations with protesters to help Trump’s campaign and downplaying the role of racism in policing.

Barr testified he did not believe police departments were generally infected by deep-seated racism but understood why Black people felt they were often treated as “suspects first and citizens second.”

Democratic members of the committee pressed him on the Stone sentencing.

Trump ultimately commuted Stone’s sentence earlier this month.

The attorney general has also supported the effort to throw out Flynn’s guilty plea to lying to federal agents about his conversations with a Russian diplomat during the presidential transition.

      Geller I don’t know what country you are loyal to, but that Federal Courthouse actually belongs to that group of citizens who are surrounding it. What you call ” a mob” , others call “the people”. Most of the smoke, teargas, and “ominous weapons” are being deployed by the so called law enforcement. All of the group of citizens who surround the courthouse support law enforcement, as we pay their salary. When “law enforcement” fails to help secure the rights of the people, it is our perfect right and ability to defund the so called law enforcement.
