nadler: you know -- mr. barr: you know, most of the cyber activities are conducted by the fbi under law enforcement powers to protect and detect federal climb. rep. lofgren: i think the american public should know that this surveillance technique -- about these people in front of the courthouse, if a husband-and-wife call each other and one of the spouses has a cell phone within range of one of these technologies, not only is the location, but the actual content of that couple's conversation can be scooped up with this. this is not just about the demonstrations, this is about americans and trump trying to create a scene, create a reason to subvert attention from covid. it is very unfortunate. my time has expired. rep. nadler: the gentlelady yields back. >> mr. chairman, point of order. could you ask the members who choose not to come to work to silence their cell phones on the video? it is distracting to what we are doing here today. rep. nadler: that is not a point of order. i now recognize mr. chabot. rep.

nadler: i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3 of house resolution 965. yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this uestion are postponed. pursuant to house resolution 891, the portion of the divided question compromising the mendment in section 4-b of house resolution 891 shall now be considered. this portion shall be debatable for one hour, equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member on the committee on judiciary. the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler and the gentleman from arizona, mr. biggs, each control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i now yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i rise in strong the actionh.r. 5581, to counsel act. last september the judiciary and foreign affairs committees nvestigated the chaos when the ban a was first announced. i can attest to this. refugees

chairman nadler refuses toe allow mr.itz to come here to testify and answer your questions about the 17 lies the obama-biden administration told to the secret court. elizabeth: i mean, is that what is really the issue, sir? the mueller probe was, let's look at it, 19 lawyers, 40 agents. 2800 subpoenas, $30 million. the fbi got to use powerful fisa wiretaps that catch way more information than criminal wiretaps and they came up with zeros. they didn't have the trump russia case. they didn't have the flynn case. but they kept going. it was an attempt to delegitimatize the incoming trump administration and his four-year term. is that what has the democrats so rattled that they're taking buckshot rifles to ag barr now? >> i think it is. besides having awful candidate for president, biden who can't remember where he is at most times this goes back to covering up. they promised american people when they won the majority they would show collusion in plain sight. that the president would show all these things are wrong. they woul

frustration of 18 months of not being able to accomplish anything tangible in a failure of jerry nadler'sn schiff, they only asked question every time the attorney general answered them they would cut him off, this was a sad showing of what the congress can actually do we could try to get answers but instead it was a continual back and forth of them accusing bill barr of everything as i said in the hearing, i was surprised they did not come out and say he was the author of the common cold because they cried tried to describe everything they thought was bad to him. liz: was attorney general william barr accusing house democrats of attempting to cover up abuses of power during the obama administration trying to go after him by attacking ag barrrr instead? >> he tried to relate a reference to run a couple times but let's be honest, that's what the obama, biden the administration did, let's go back to who were talking about in the investigations going on right now with durham. this is peter strzok and jim comey and andreww mccabe and alo joe biden and president obama who in the white house ta

barr. >> sean: shame on you, lying jerry nadler. former congressman trey gowdy, all the talking points were all the same, trey. it's an insult at this point after today's schiff show. they all rigid regurgitated the same line. you are doing this. that's all i 1500 police officers injured, many more, some blinded, now we are up to 16 dead? are my eyes deceiving me, trey gowdy? >> sean, if politics is about contrast we have contrast for november. do you want the anarchy you see in portland and seattle or do you want a country or everyone is safe and secure? what you also saw today is what a serious grown-up attorney general can do for this country and it makes me wish and wonder where we would be if he had been the ag from day one, if bill barr had been the preside president's ag. as for crazy uncle jerry, now you know, sean, why the democrats kept them hidden in the attic during impeachment or they didn't want him anywhere near impeachment and for anyone who wondered why the chairman of the judiciary had no role in impeachment? today

top democrat jerry nadler saying antifa violence in portland, a myth.oe biden called the protests peaceful. rioters are embedded in them. as democrats continue to blast the president for trying to stop the destruction. people are warning there is not peaceful or mythical about officers being assaulted with power tools, commercial grade fireworks and lasers that blind them and buildings being set on fire with people inside of those buildings or cop cars being burned. also tonight, you would think the two-year trump-russia probe was based on high level russian firms with connections to russian intelligence the way the media and democrats talked about the story for three years. turns out that is not the case as knewly revealed government documents detail. senator lindsey graham, the fbi sourcing for their probe was pretty lame. it is going from bad to worse. senator graham is saying that there is evidence that fbi officials lied to both the fisa court and congress on the trump-russia probe. senator graham telling that to our maria bartiromo. greg stuebe wi

but first, we witnessed yet another jerry nadler capitol hill circus. was a complete embodiment of hatred, rage, anti-trump psychosis that is totally consumed this new radical extreme democratic socialist party. here's a small sample of how he ran today's so-called hearing. take a look. >> mr. chairman, could we take a five minute break? >> no. >> that the common courtesy of every witness. i waited an hour for you this morning. i like to take a five-minute break. >> mr. attorney general, we are almost finished. we are going to be finished in a few minutes. we can certainly take a break. >> a real class act. >> sean: moore of nadler's bizarre moments just ahead. of course, this was nothing more than a failed attempt to create what is endless hours of phony left-wing attack ads for the 2020 election all to help the out of it and corrupt joe biden. seeing him expose these far left lunatics for what they are, a group of blind partisans committed to smearing anyone aligned with president trump. they are committed to repeating the same talking points, spewing

was asking and knew where nadler was going and chose to make nadler work at it and leave the impressionhey, maybe i am, maybe i'm not, you don't get to know. it seemed to set the tone for this hearing. thoughts? >> yeah that's the ag's style in large part. he likes to be combative. he like to the give as good as it gets. there was probably a more easier and correct and appropriate answer from the chief law enforcement officer of the united states he just wasn't going there, as you said, and kind of egged nadler on. and it was that way all day long. i think with respect to the ag today, as long as he was talking about d.o.j.'s federal law enforcement effort with respect to protests around the country, he was comfortable, that's a battle he likes to fight. when he's talking about gwynn and colin and stone and issues that's indefensible he's on the defensive and uncomfortable so he tried to steer it back to what he thinks is an issue where reasonable minds can differ. >> kneel, neil, what do el, neild . >> -- >> neal, what do you think of that take. he had a more well-thought out defense o

nadler: the gentleman is recognized. >> chairman nadler opened up his statement by saying you can no longer hide behind the legal fiction. that caused me some consternation. you have any idea what he is talking about? a.g. barr: i don't recall that phrase in what context it was in. >> who knows what context. he was just kind of rattling on. he was attacking you and your performance in everything you could. the gentlelady from california referred to civilian agents as civilian troops. intimating that portland was federal agents arrived on the scene. is like blaming a fire department for showing up to put out a fire and then being blamed for the fire. was there violence and attempts to burn down and vandalize the building and attack civilian employees of the federal government prior to any of the federal agents in portland? a.g. barr: my recollection is our main attempts to reinforce them around the fourth of july. >> talk about lafayette square. mobs disobeying curfews. flags andd american set fire to st. john's episcopal church near lafayette square. secret service and park police us

jerry nadler was involved in the car accident. he was not injured according to his spokesman. we don't know other details about the accident, if anyone else was injured or not, but this will essentially delay the start of this hearing, much anticipated hearing that the democrats will have are the first time in the house judiciary committee to question bill barr after previous appearances that had been scrapped. bill barr at one point last year did not show up despite the democratic push to try to get him to appear, and they have a long list of grievances that the democrats plan to air about bill barr about their concerns that he mischaracterized the mueller report, about what they believe is him using the justice department to protect the president, his firing of a u.s. attorney who was investigating some trump associates. those are the range of issues that the democrats will press bill barr on. bill barr contend the democrats in the committee are simply trying to discredit him for investigating the russia investigation that involved the president. nevertheless, we expect this

chairman jerry nadler told a reporter sunday the anarchy and violence going on in portland, and i quote the chairman, "is a myth that is spread only in

the to william barr's evidence. evidence this morning, nadler the evidence this morning, i think nadlerder the tenure of attorney—general danieb, and they do need to look at in context, that's ha rd to need to look at in context, that's hard to do, because there's an awful lot of them —— barr. a lot of the conversation today, so far, it will go on for a few more hours, but a lot of the conversation has focused on the use of federal law enforcement troops from various agencies in portland in particular, but also other american cities. with regard to that, i think there is a few things that need to be kept in mind and they are not entirely obvious. the first one is that even though he is not always mentioned, attorney—general bart really is the person calling the shots on all of these activities. the second thing is that, yes, it's true, there is some violence there, but a lot of it is in fact, as best as anyone can tell being provoked by the nature of the response. i think it really is fairto the response. i think it really is fair to say, as chairman nadler alleged that what the governm

just yesterday, nadler said it was a myth and joe biden is hiding in his basement. he won't make no remark on it. i believe within the first hour, the democrats are going to even regret having this hearing because the republicans, all they're going to discuss is the corruption in the obama administration, the department of justice and john durham is not going to make a report. he's going to come out with a federal indictment. thank you for taking my call. >> okay, bob. bob, good morning. >> good morning, greta. my name is dell and i'm calling to let you know that the caller from new jersey really offended me. associating john lewis with william barr. that was an insult and a slap of the face to all of us who actually knew what john lewis stood for. how can anybody follow barr and trump with all the vitriol and hate, and he's releasing hard-core criminals and giving them pardons, and that's absolutely wrong. if you're going to go that route, why doesn't he go and free bill cosby? >> okay. all right. dell, we will leave it there. >> live now to remarks from joe biden.

this is jerry nadler of, no. the hearing has been delayed about an hour and chairman nadler's car was in an accident. he was not injured, don't believe it was a serious accident but this hearing was delayed about an hour. because of that, the attorney general waiting, taking a sip of water as well. welcome to the house of representatives and the house judiciary committee and we begin. >> the house committee on the judiciary committee is in order. we welcome everyone to this morning's hearing on oversight of the department of justice. i apologize for beginning the hearing late. as many of you know, i was in a minor car accident on the way in this morning. everyone is fine, except perhaps the car, but it did cause significant delay. i thank the attorney general and the members for their patience and their flexibility, and we will now begin. before we gyp, i want to acknowledge -- i want to note that we're joined this morning by the distinguished majority leader, the gentleman from maryland, mr. hoyer. leader hoyer,

well, tonight you will listen to jerry nadler. you'll hear joe biden in his own words. these shocking remarks are straight ahead. we begin tonight out west where another weekend of carnage wreaking havoc in the city of seattle, demonstrators going more violent, more threatening towards police. same in portland. take a look at this new body cam footage released by the seattle police department. it shows violent agitators throwing rocks, bottles, wood, explosives of police officers during saturday's protest in the capitol hill neighborhood. in total, 59 police officers suffered injuries after being hit by the bricks on the rocks on the other debris. while the city council and the summer of love mayor, that, well, dopey mayor, jenny durkan, continuing to downplay the violence and prevent police literally from doing their job. local leaders are giving police officer zero ability to quell the unrest. they are putting handcuffs on the officers. just listen to the police chief, carmen best. this is a shocking statement. >> people throughout seattle need to be aware that the ci

that's the way i see it. >> martha: that doesn't happen in for jerry nadler, but that doesn't happen if you're going to pretend it doesn't exist. people call them up for what they're doing and say yes, we should stop them. >> we should call them out but call out the right wing groups that are also injecting themselves and injecting their agenda. i'm not saying -- look, we condemn antifa, we condemn these white supremacist organizations. we condemn them all day and all night but the bottom line is these protesters in the aftermath of george floyd, they wanted to address police brutality. >> martha: absolutely, and they've been overshadowed nightly. >> that's what's being hijacked and the conversation that seems like all we want to do is depict protesters against police when the protesters went out to say hey, we want to be -- >> martha: let's get carl in here. your thoughts on the politicalization and i heard this people talk about this and it will go away after the election and the frantic worry about covid-19 are the concerns about what's going on in the cities because it's just ser

chair jerry nadler further delayed the hearing today.got into a car accident on his way to capitol hill. once that hearing did get underway, the radical dems proved themselves to be nothing more than idealogues, scared to death of attorney general barr. so much so they wouldn't let him talk. they wouldn't give him even a moment to respond to any of their questions. and as it turned out, from one radical dem congressman to the next, they had nothing to say except spew more left-wing propaganda. the attorney general subjected himself to their insults, their rude behavior, and they seemed to be pretending to be his equals intellectually. it was clear to all that they were not. the attorney general stated there was absolutely no basis for the state's prosecution of general michael flynn. >> i think what the counsel concluded was that the only purpose of the interview, the only purpose, was to try to catch him in saying something that they could then say was a lie. >> so -- >> and, therefore, there was not a legit -- the interview was untethe

congressman jerry nadler was asked who is behind the protests and here's what he had to say. >> what is happening in portland? >> that the myth being spread only in washington dc. shannon: what do you say? pinning this on antifa is on this. >> scary the jerry nadler says that, the chairman of the judiciary committee that is supposed to look out for rule of law, supposed to be concerned about the constitution and protecting basic rights and liberties, antifa, a terrorist organization is anything but a myth. 3 months ago mister nadler on the house for said antifa is imaginary. consistently wrong about this terrorist organization donald trump is called a terrorist organization, last weekend officers blinded by these people using lasers, officers who have been blinded, ask them if it is a myth or imaginary organization. ask a journalist who was attacked in portland over a year ago if they are an imaginary organization, they are very real and very dangerous and william barr knows it, that is why democrats are out to get william barr, calls and accurately and truthfully. shannon: we know t

at what is the best course of action to take but none of it happened, none of it happened if jerry nadlerstill in charge of the judiciary committee and joe biden and kamala harris get elected as president and vice president. >> tucker: i am certainly not advocating for jerry nadler having any more power than he does, obviously. i just, again, i think most people watching feel justified frustration that we are right at the edge of the election and it's pretty hard to win anything if these people continue to interfere in our democracy. >> no, i do. the good news is in 2016 in spite of what google did, the american people saw it for what it was an donald trump was elected. that's why i raise that issue in the hearing today twice with google. >> tucker: thank you for coming on, appreciate it. >> you bet, thank you. >> tucker: well, coronavirus shutdowns destroyed countless small businesses but they were especially tough on restaurants. even some business is brave to defy the orders died anyway. talk to restaurant owners from colorado who learned a deep about the way government works. plus, ai

. >> house judiciary chairman gerry nadler, delayed by a traffic accident en route to the hearing set the tone for democratic attacks in his opening line. >> you have aided and abetted the worst failings of the president, the r this administration has twisted the department of justice into a shadow of its former self. >> he insisted he's never sought anything but equal justice. >> i agree the president friends don't deserve breaks but they also don't deserve to be treated more harshly than other people. >> spying. that one word. that's why they're after you, mr. attorney general, they have been attacking you ever since. every day. every week. for simply stating the truth. that the obama-biden administration spied on the trump campaign. >> barr put a spin. >> the party not coming out and condemning mob violence and the attack on federal courts. >> he also singled out antifa for momenting violence. >> we are concerned about this problem metastasizing around the country. >> as for the deteriorations in front of the white house last month when officers forcefully removed protesters from l

. >> john: jeff, speaking of ntfs, jerry nadler asked about that today and he seems to suggest that heprotest and listen to the response. >> that's happening in portland right now. >> that's a myth that's being spread only in washington, d.c. of >> jerry nadler denying antifa is like baghdad bombs denying that there's american tanks an. >> john: condemning the violence going on in oakland saying that vandalizing down tone donald trump the images he wants and justification that he seeks to send federal troops to american cities. if you've got joe nadler saying that ntfs not involved and then libby schaaf saying that you are handing donald trump this thing on a silver platter to him. >> i think the bottom line and it underscores that it has become so political and it is in some ways and it's exactly what president trump is turning the focus of his campaign into for 2020 and you've got democrats pushing back on then of course. i think they will continue to see that law and order emphasis from president trump while this happens in portland and also elsewhere across the country going forwar

nadler, from new york. >> mr. zuckerberg, i want to thank you for providing us information during our investigation. however, the documents you provided tell a disturbing story and that is that facebook saw instagram as a powerful threat that could siphon business away from facebook. so, rather than compete with it, facebook brought it. this is the type of anticompetitive acquisition that the anti-trust laws were designed to prevent. in fact, on the day facebook brought to instagram, you wrote, quote, one thing about start ups is you can do it properly -- you were referring to instagram in that quote? >> i don't have the exact document but i've always been clear we view instagram, both as a competitor and as a compliment to our services. in the growing space around, after smart phones start getting bick and they competed with us in the space of mobile cameras and mobile photo sharing, but no one thought of them as a general social network and didn't think of them as competing with us in that space. i think that th

trump you see that there is a lot of going to cover and not a great deal of time certainly jerry nadler who is the democratic chair of the committee meeting. very clear from the very start that this wasn't going to be a meeting of minds when he described attorney general barr as the washed man at the watch movement to be attorney general for his part well bill barr said that at the moment when they're seeing protests in portland where they had federal officers on the street against the. construction of many lawmakers in portland it has to be said but he is suggesting that the fact that they are attacking a federal courthouse and by extension attacking federal officers then that this is an attack on the united states and he made the plea to the committee for elected representatives to speak out about violence where ever the see it particularly in this context no when it came to the issue of roger stone and michael flynn now you remember them because roger stone was a friend of donald trump's he was convicted by a court he was recommended to sever a long sentence bill bar thing got involv

based on what nadler said and the little i have read so far about it, it's deeply troubling. i have been calling on barr to resign for months. and, frankly, since the first time that i met him during his confirmation hearing i suspected that he was not being forthright and that his motivations are not consistent with the role and responsibility of the united states department of justice but are more consistent with the personal and political and best interest of donald trump. and this most recent event, which is the firing of attorney berman is furtherance of that goal apparently of barr's, which is to do whatever is necessary to subvert or obstruct a pursuit of justice by the united states department of justice. >> we saw in william barr's confirmation hearing and in particular your questioning of him his tendency to play word games, his tendency to pick at any given word in your question to see if he could sneak off sideways by using that word. what we just saw in the introduction to this discussion in the house today with the defense secretary, that is probably the ugliest

nadler for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank you and the subcommittee members for the tremendous effort for this investigation. your calling this hearing so we can hear from the leaders of amazon, apple, facebook and google and i look forward to important dialogue. today it is impossible to use the internet without using the services of these four companies. i have long believed that thomas jefferson and louis brandeis, the concentration of power in any form, especially concentration of economic or political power is dangerous to a democrat excited. that is why we must examine these and other companies that play a donna role in our economy and society and be sure that our antitrust laws and forces the tools they need to preserve a healthy marketplace. these principles have guided this committee investigation into competition and -- in digital markets and they are the lens through which i approach this hearing. the internet has delivered but if it's to americans including a surge of economic opportunity, investmen
