“The reason they are mad at Barr and me is because they didn’t get the outcome they want,” Graham told Sean Hannity.
During Attorney General William Barr’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Chairman Lindsey Graham led the Republican defense of the embattled Department of Justice chief.
“The reason they are mad at Barr and me is because they didn’t get the outcome they want,” Graham said. “My friends on the other side want out, and they don’t care how they get it.” For Democrats, this meant Barr’s assertion in an April hearing that he did “not know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusions” was a lie.
Graham, once a staunch critic of Trump but now one of his most vocal allies, did not have a bad word to say about the attorney general. Rather, he claimed the circus surrounding the Mueller report was the fault of Democrats. “Bill Barr’s a fine man, he'll sleep well tonight,” he told Hannity. “His critics are the problem, not him.
