Geagea Slams Alleged Hizbullah Threat to Bitar
Head of the Lebanese Forces party, Samir Geagea, voiced in a statement Wednesday his support for Judge Tarek al-Bitar, the lead investigative judge into the Beirut port blast.
“It is very shameful to threaten one of the most honorable and impeccable judges, in a case of the size of the Beirut port blast and its tragic consequences,” Geagea said.
The statement came after reports said that senior Hizbullah official Wafiq Safa had sent a threatening verbal message to Bitar.
Geagea went on to say that, “It is also a pity that many of the personalities that have been summoned for interrogation have not responded to the investigator under the pretext of immunities or under the pretext of sectarian balance.”
He asked the new Minister of Justice and the new government "to stand as bulwark" in the face of every threat or obstruction to the judicial investigator.
“In all cases, we will not let go of the port explosion issue without revealing the truth," Geagea added.

Shameful? Give me a break, do you REALLY think Mr. Geagea that if Hizbullah decided to kill anyone in Lebanon they would face any repercussions? They ARE the law, they are the government, they are the ones in control. The problem is people like you that pretend they have a voice against them that pretend you have the ability to stand up against them but in reality you just don't. Your existence and your comments only benefit them saying "see, we are not in control we are criticized often and they are still alive", the only reason you are is you are not threatening their interests.

Our great leaders are so good at slamming one another while they have zero productivity when it comes to issues of importance to our citizens.
