Lindsey Graham is loathsome.

Ask him if he took a loyalty oaf, Feinstein. Its not that hard. Ask him. Heā€™s a slippery one, full of qualifications that are full of holes so he can sidestep direct answers. Just ask yes or no questions and see if he can handle that first. So far heā€™s explaining away basic stuff.

Interesting that he doesnā€™t have an opinion about emoluments. Its in the Fucking US Constitution asshole. He seems to have an opinion on everything else. The Constitutionā€¦youā€™re familiar with it Barr, arenā€™t you?

Not liking Barr so far. Tipped across the door opened by Graham to investigate the FBIā€™s basis for opening a counterintelligence inquiry on Trump; Said ā€˜I donā€™t recallā€™ to whether he received non-public info; Dancing around his very conclusory memoā€™s findings; Claims to not know what an ā€˜emolumentā€™ is; Seems haughty and self-assured in his own mastery of the DC legal art of splitting hairs and coming up with essentially bullshit distinctions that provide rationalizations to achieve political ends.

Heā€™s pretty much what I thought heā€™d be: an articulate, well-practiced hack. Heā€™s the type of guy from the Bush era who wouldā€™ve gladly worked for a President Cheney as a hatchet man.

He went to the White House on his own to meet with tRump, didnā€™t he?

Ughā€¦Grassley. Dumbfuck. How this goober ever got on the Judiciary Committee Iā€™ll never know. Did he even graduate from college? I canā€™t stand listening to his ā€œget off my lawnā€ questions. More like a constant whine.

@marby Barr is slippery as an eel. He doesnā€™t know anything about the emoluments clause? Please!

Yeah, heā€™s constitutionally illiterate apparently, when it serves his purposes.

Iā€™m surprised how flustered Barr seemed by Diane Feinsteinā€™s questions (which were clear and not unexpected.) That tells me he IS a slippery eel and will follow his own agenda at DOJ. How can we be at the point when this kind of individual is likely to be confirmed for Attorney General?

ā€œIn good faithā€ Now thereā€™s a clause you donā€™t hear often enough. SMH.

Means virtually nothing under these circumstances, Iā€™d say. Meaningless coming from a guy like him.

Uh-oh, Grassley is having a self-made temper-tantrum. I think he needs a time-out. Heā€™s actually making himself nuts with whatever internal dialogue he has knocking around his head. Nobody is pissing him offā€¦heā€™s just doing it to himself at this point.

No fucking idea. Just gramps having indigestion. This dude is ready for the jell-o farm imo.

Damnā€¦when is Grassley going to step down. Heā€™s like a character off of the old Carol Burnett show.

Someone stepped on his lawn? You should see how he acts when the kids come around on Halloween.

I can almost see the drool out of the corner of his mouth from here.

Why would an ambassador to Israel (in June 2017) reach out to this guy soliciting him to meet with tRump. That seems strange in and of itself. An ambassador? So what if heā€™s a lawyer. Do any of these people stay in their lanes? Right there, thatā€™s a problem.

A very brief meeting. Is there any other kind for this President?

Heā€™s a one-pager too, dontyaknow? And a one-paragrapher to be more accurate. Actually, has to be no more than a third of a paper.

That was a very strange comment for Lindsey to make.
