Senator Hirono Came for Attorney General Barr's Neck

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

• Senator Hirono was not impressed with the way Attorney General William Barr handled the Mueller’s investigation, so she let him know during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. She called Barr a “liar” who is “no different from Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conway or any of the other people who sacrificed their once decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office.” She also called on Barr to resign.
