After meeting Assad, Jamil Sayyed accuses Hariri of backing false witnesses ...

What is noteworthy is the fact that Sayyed came out shooting AFTER he met Bashar Assad. This is exactly what I said: The Syrians are not biting into Hariri's shenanigans.
"... “Your right to demand the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) has fallen … enough, the issue is over. [You should say] my father is dead and the tribunal is over,...“That is why we see Saad Hariri dying to defend false witnesses and stand against holding them accountable; because if they fall, this authority will fall from top to bottom,” Sayyed said.
Commenting on Hariri’s recent remarks to the pan-Arab Ash-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper, Sayyed added that Hariri was not only required to visit Syria and renounce false witnesses, but also to hold them accountable for their acts....
Sayyed’s sharp accusations against the premier follow talks last week with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus and coincide with demands by Hizbullah officials to investigate false witnesses as a crucial step toward political and security stability in Lebanon.... In sharp tones, the former general slammed Hariri and his coalition for continuing to exploit the UN investigation to implement the remaining clauses of UN Security Council Resolution 1559 by shifting accusations from Syria to Hizbullah and the resistance.....
Sayyed went further by threatening to take justice into his own hands if the Lebanese prime minister did not act to put false witnesses on trial. “I vow upon my honor that if you do not give me my right, I will take it with my own hands some day. [So go ahead and] jail me,” Sayyed said, urging the premier to go through a polygraph test to prove that he did not support or fund false witnesses...."
