Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin criticized his Republican counterparts for their focus on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails during today's hearing.
"I’ve been listening carefully to my Republican colleagues on the other side, and it appears they are going to work together and coordinate the so-called lock-her-up defense," Durbin said.
"This is really not supposed to be about the Mueller investigation, the Russian involvement in the election, the Trump campaign, and so forth," Durbin said. "It is really about Hillary Clinton’s emails."
The Illinois senator then went through a list of scandals and conspiracy theories surrounding the former Democratic presidential nominee.
"Hillary Clinton’s emails, questions have to be asked about Benghazi along the way, what about Travelgate, Whitewater — there’s a lot of material we should be going through today, according to their response to this," he said.
Durbin slammed Republicans, saying it is "totally unresponsive to the reality of what the American people want to know."
"They paid a lot of money, $25 million, for this report. I respect Mr. Mueller and believe he came up with a sound report, though I don’t agree with all of it. But I find General Barr that some of the things that you’ve engaged in really leave me wondering what you believe your role as attorney general is when it comes to something like this," Durbin said.
