DEM Nadler recites a blistering litany of staggering corruption, disinformation & even violence by Barr's DOJ

GOP Jordan presents a fever dream of disinformation, fake narrative after fake narrative, and the obligatory agitprop video of looters, fire & police widow

Of course, Republicans start off #BarrHearing by playing dirty. Nadler says Jim Jordan broke Committee rules by playing that insanely long agitprop video maligning protesters & media with a mish-mash of violent imagery to agitate emotional responses. That's what propagandists do.

Nadler asks Barr directly: Is his operation to deploy law enforcement to cities an effort to help Trump's re-election campaign?

Barr says the op was announced earlier. Uh—right after impeachment. So of COURSE, obviously political move to keep Republicans in power.

The number of times Republicans say "the Obama-Biden administration" pretty much tells you their goal in the #BarrHearing is to distort reality, push disinformation and try to smear Biden with it. GOP's always laser-focused on elections. Playing dirty. Winning at all costs.

Barr: No, I don't believe there's systemic racism in police departments generally.

Louis Gohmert goes full Joe McCarthy accusing protesters of being Marxists using Bolshevik tactics.

He throws in a reference to Chinese Communist Party… because propaganda buzzwords are what Republicans have been reduced to.
