Hizbullah MP: No Essential Dispute with Aoun, U.S. Embassy Steering Bitar's Work

W300

Hizbullah MP Ali al-Mekdad said that the U.S. embassy is “steering” the work of lead investigator into the Beirut port blast Judge Tarek Bitar.

“I can’t be naive and wait for Bitar’s indictment, and then defend myself,” Mekdad said in a televised interview.

He asked why among all names, only “certain names” were chosen by the Judge.

“We do not say all judges are corrupt or traitors, so when a judge knows that he is serving the enemy, then he is,” Mekdad added.

The lawmaker assured that there is no “essential dispute” with President Michel Aoun.

“Aoun is convinced that everyone should go to interrogation, including himself,” Mekdad said.

“If Aoun endorses Bitar’s approach, he wouldn't have said that.”

Mekdad also claimed that, according to reports, Bitar is preparing “a major file against Hizbullah and the Shiite duo,” and that “the decision will be taken before the upcoming parliamentary elections.”

Whatever judge calls upon your people.
He is either corrupted, or politicized, or an Israeli agent, or an American stooge...
Get lost! You fool no one!

According to former interior minister Muhammad Fahmi, 95% of the magistrates are corrupt… sure … but 100% of Hezbollah are terrorists and traitors to Lebanon.

What he's basically saying if your interests do not align with ours, you are serving the enemy and you are a traitor, which is an accurate assessment. This means if he kills your brother, and the justice system tries to arrest him for killing your brother, than the justice system is working with Hizbullah's enemies and is a traitor. Good luck people of lebanon!
