AG Bill Barr mocked Nancy Pelosi to her face at a memorial service for a fallen police officer. Barr laughed in Pelosi’s face and asked her if she brought her handcuffs, alluding to the fact that Pelosi threatened to have Barr arrested.
Bad mistake. Barr knows how to deal with Democrats who try to destroy their opponents. They have been accusing him of committing perjury, which of course he hasn’t and have issued a subpoena for the complete Mueller report, which by law, Barr cannot do.
Democrats are playing a dangerous game because he knows the law and cannot be bullied by Democrats or the press.

Today at a law enforcement ceremony at Capitol:
AG Barr approached Pelosi, shook her hand: “Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?”
Pelosi smiled and, per a bystander, told Barr the House Sergeant at Arms was there should an arrest be needed. Barr laughed; walked away
