Dems ditch duties to bash Barr washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editor…
The entire Wednesday hearing was a theater of the absurd. Presidential aspirant @SenKamalaHarris exemplified her party’s preference for performance rather than oversight, as is her tendency.
She asked Barr impossibly vague questions, such as, “Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested you open an investigation into anyone?" She also badgered him with “Yes or no!” demands.
She also, amazingly, gave Barr a hard time for accepting Mueller’s presentation of his evidence.
This all garnered applause from the Left and its news media, which was the point, of course. Harris and Sen. Cory "Spartacus" Booker, D-N.J., used the hearing to run for president without paying for the ad time.
All this vacuity and grandstanding comes at the expense of real oversight.
Democrats spent two years clinging to the wrong end of the stick. They ached for the collusion conspiracy theory to be true.

And many of them still won't let it go because it gives them an excuse for losing to Trump in 2016.
