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.”

I agree. I don’t believe people realize how close they were of succeeding.

Those early months were really tough. The GOP, Dems, etc all were against Trump. Remember?

He held in there.

People, including Manifort, were loyal and didn’t snap.

Mueller was all out trying to find dirt on Trump.

He out foxed them.

There is no doubt, it’s all out war now. It’s clear that the GOP finally has a backbone.

the midget Judge was on today, and the guy actually said that Barr was not being truthful in his characterizing the Mueller letter.

I’m thinking, this guy is going to be careful with what he says.

NOooooooo. He double downs.

These old Senators are working hard to be relevant. It is sad. They sound and act like they are off their medications.

Senator Mazie Hirono is a disgrace and a drooling retard.

Someone should be behind her when she speaks with a spittoon so she doesn’t drown in her own drool.

On second thought, just let her drown in it.

She’s the perfect representative for the communist state of Hawaii, and they couldn’t do any better if they tried.

*spits*

Harris and Hirono are hurting their own party, by just being a member of it.

Why can’t the Senators focus on the border crisis or fixing health care. Who needs another wild goose chase?

The Dems. are desperately seeking dirt on Trump. It is almost like they are falling into extreme madness, doing the same thing over and over, without getting what they want.

Does Hirono hurt tourism to Hawaii? Not sure we want to visit such a place, that elects such a person.

Not all the people in Hawaii support Hirono

HIRA leads the charge against her . HIRA is NOT the (feckless and impotent Hawaii Republican Party - HRP)
HIRA is staunchly PRO Trump and apologetically so

Check out the comments thread of the HIRA folks in Hawaii , on the Hirono matter , here :

No, probably not, but I can assure you that Hawaiians hate haoles, who is anyone other than them.

It is my fervent hope that one of the Democratic miscreants running for President chooses Hirono as VP candidate.

What is truly amazing is that she is actually LESS likeable than Hillary.

Understand , this woman , Hirono , is NOT HAWAIIAN .

She is Japan born Japanese . A ‘naturalized’ U.S. immigrant ,with a very shaky immigration narrative .

We have long suspected ( here in Hawaii) that he father was actually a Japanese soldier in WW2 , who spent his time trying to kill Americans .
An investigative reporter needs to go to Japan and root out the real story behind the Hirono family (father had a different name )

People here in Hawaii consider it an unpardonable disgrace that she regularly drags Hawaii’s reputation thru the mud with her idiotic antics .
