Must have felt that Barr was taking some hits. Republicans always cover for each other.

Now it’s slander to express an opinion about the rectitude of someone’s actions? That’s going to be an unattainably high bar for your BFF Trump, Sen. Graham. Of course he can always try going under.

Hirono: “Do you think it’s OK for a President to ask his White House Counsel to lie?”

Barr: “Depends. Which Party?”

Really? You tease us by saying Blackburn piped up to spew whatever abject insanity was rattling around in her idiot head and then fail to tell us what she said? C’mon! She has to be the stupidest woman in all of congress now that Bachman is gone.

The book hasn’t been written yet…but I can tell you that the entry to Graham’s scolding of Hirono will go something like this…

“Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina even went so far as to…”

Sen. Hirono was by far the most effective questioner today. She used the Republican playbook of defining the narrative for public consumption using Barrs behavior to paint him as a stooge that he is. Since we know Barr will obfuscate what is “criminal” her questions were about the ethical behavior of a US President such as whether a President asking the WH counsel to lie on his behalf is acceptable - it was very effective.

She was clear and concise and clearly got under his and Republicans skins. Thank you, Senator Hirono!

It’s easier to watch if you pause it, let it run for a while, then just skip all the republican questions. Hirono was awesome.

But did Miz Linz lick his lips while saying “bottom”?

Why don’t we put that assertion to the test in a court of law, Ms. Graham. I think Senator Hirono has a case.
