To cleanse the palate, something none of us have ever seen before. (I haven’t, at least.) Today was the House Judiciary Committee hearing that I wrote about last night, at which Aaron Zelinsky and John Elias testified to suspected corruption by Bill Barr at the DOJ. One of the other witnesses was Donald Ayer, a deputy AG during Bush 41’s administration, who laid into Barr as a disgrace and a threat to the rule of law. He had five minutes to speak but apparently ran over his time. Under those circumstances, as I understand it, it’s the prerogative of the committee chair to decide whether to grant the witness extra time. The chairman in this case was Jerry Nadler, so yeah, of course the time was granted.
