Graham says declassified FBI documents show 'double standard' for Clinton and Trump campaigns
Graham said the FBI sought to give the Clinton campaign a defensive briefing before it could pursue a FISA warrant
By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News
Following the release of recently declassified documents, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says he believes the FBI showed a double standard in its investigations into reports of foreign interference at the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and now-President Trump in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.
Calling it “the ultimate double standard,†Graham said that the documents reveal that leaders at the FBI sought to give the Clinton campaign a defensive briefing before it could pursue a FISA warrant related to a threat posed to the campaign by a foreign government.
But instead of doing the same for the Trump campaign, the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane operation and pursued a number of FISA warrants against people working with Trump’s campaign.
While Graham would not reveal which foreign government wanted to assist Clinton in getting elected, he said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures†that FBI leadership shot down a request for a FISA warrant until Clinton was briefed on the matter.
