Graham blasts Democratic colleague Hirono: You have ‘slandered’ Barr
The Washington Times ^ | May 1, 2019 | Jeff Mordock

Posted on 05/01/2019 12:21:10 PM PDT by jazusamo

In the most fiery exchange so far during Attorney General William P. Barr’s Senate Judiciary testimony, Sen. Lindsey Graham interrupted questioning to accuse Sen. Mazie Hirono of “slandering” the Justice Department’s top official.

“You have slandered this man from top to to bottom,” Mr. Graham said. “You want more of this line of questioning, you are not going to get it.

The moment came while Ms. Hirono, Hawaii Democrat, was grilling Mr. Barr with questions about allegations that President Trump sought to thwart special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

But she also called Mr. Barr a liar and accused him of trying to conceal Mr. Trump’s alleged misdeeds.

“Being attorney general of the Untied States is a sacred trust,” she said. “You have betrayed that trust. America deserves better. You should resign.”

As Barr replied to Kamela Harris, Rosey was cleared of conflicts (being a witness to Comey’s firing) back when he assumed supervision over Mueller and became Acting Attorney General, long before Barr arrived on the scene.

This conflict did not arise from Barr’s appointment and had nothing to do with Barr.

Support Hawaiian sovereignty and a return to a Hawaiian monarchy , with a provisional U.S. Military provides Hawaiian Kingdom defense agreement , retaining ALL of our present bases and facilities .
Otherwise , cut Hawaii lose . No more Democrat Party ...gone for good .

Place it under U.S martial law if war comes and it fails to live up to it’s obligations ,or inclines towards any mutual enemy .

Good to go ....

I’m not convinced he won’t show up. Today gave him confidence.

How many times did Barr comment that he couldn’t talk about on going investigations...LOLOLOlololol....and looking into things like how the FISA applications were gotten with the non existing evidence. I thought Durban was going to cry.

<>We must set a standard that excludes these vicious partisans from office.<>

Senators are simply three-term, extra-arrogant, popularly elected representatives.

To reset the standard and restore our Framers’ deliberative Senate, repeal the 17th Amendment. There is no alternative.

Article V.

Which is why I say again, Trump is the last president.

I don’t doubt it. This nation is far more broken than many realize. When these animals have power again what do we do, say ‘the people have spoken then just sit back and watch?

That is exactly what will happen. And once they regain power, they will never let go. They know their enemies and will exterminate them.

I would like to see a video of what she did today combined with her performance at the Kavanaugh hearings. It would make a great campaign ad against her.

They do know how to overreach, and IMHO, that is what will doom them!

The American people just will not put up with their insanity for too much longer!

I heard earlier. When I responded earlier, I thought he was going to. Thank you.

True. Hirono did not ask questions. She used the hearing to filibuster her written false narrative—not to get the facts. Getting information should have been the purpose of her time at the hearing. Instead she made sure her slanderous rant would not allow any response from Barr.

The Dems are on the Clapper-Brennan griddle and it will go all the way to Hillary and Obama. In my opinion, the Clinton Foundation is at the heart of it. All this has been is to protect it from its criminal activities.

Hirono can blow smoke all she wants. I’ll have my eggs over easy.

The she-clown read this prepared rant and she sounded like a third grader trying to read War and Peace out loud. She truly is the most hateful and viscous Democrat ever, never seen anything like her.

Why do the Democrats want to hear anymore from Barr since they are all claiming he lied and should resign? If that is what they want why is Nadler issuing a subpoena? LOL

I can hardly wait to see Nads face when he is stood up for the ball tomorrow. The DemonRAT’s heads will explode and they will turn into DemonCRAPs in a pile of rotten pumpkin.
