Showing Original Post only (View all)PHOTOS: House Dem brings toy chicken and KFC bucket to hearing to mock Barr's no-show [View all]

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) brought props to the House Judiciary Committee hearing that Attorney General William Barr cancelled on: a toy chicken and a bucket of KFC.
Barr faced a onslaught when he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, and was scheduled to appear before the House Thursday morning. He cancelled the appearance last night, after a spat over terms of the questioning.
The spin House Democrats want to convey is clear: that Barr is too scared to appear for questioning on his handling of Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation and report. Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House committee, said Wednesday night that Barr was terrified.

I don't think you can throw someone in jail for not accepting an invitation to testify.
