Lindsay Graham opens questioning of AG pick Barr by attacking FBI.

He attacked counterintelligence investigation, and then reads the texts of the two agents accused by Trump.

He is wanting Barr to commit to stopping law enforcement officials/FBI from starting 'bogus'
investigations of elected officials.

I think we will find out soon how deep the Russians are into the Republican pockets. I’m willing to bet it’s all the way to the ground. I’m betting we have state officials and even governors.

Graham has an agenda - to be honest everyone does - but he is kind of slimy.

Barr is doing a decent job of being evasive in answers and deflecting the questions back. Like it or. ot, he is going to be our next AG.

Pretty dry listening though as I deep clean my kitchen.

It's all on par with statements like "I don't recall."

is to turn the Senate Judiciary and Intel Committees into clones of the 2017 House Judiciary and Intel Committees.

The entire Retrumplican party, all their ass-pickles on hate-radio, Faux News, and all their fucking corporate funded CONservative think-tanks and lobbyist, are so far up Putin's ass that they can see Sarah Palin's house!
