Lindsey Graham on why he's not in favor of calling Obama to testify
By Julia Musto | Fox News

    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stated Friday that he doesn't support calling former President Barack Obama to testify in his review of the Russia probe because of Obama's executive privilege.

In an interview on the "Brian Kilmeade Show" with host Brian Kilmeade, Graham said that he does not want to "wreak havoc on the institution" like House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., did during the impeachment trial against the president earlier this year.

"So, if I find something that makes me suspicious of President Obama, if he may have been part of committing a crime against General Flynn or anyone else, I will turn that over to Mr. [John] Durham," he promised, referring to the U.S. attorney who is investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

On Thursday, Graham declared that his panel would hold hearings in early June as part of its investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation -- code-named "Crossfire Hurricane" -- and would focus on unmasking, abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel.

If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama. He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!

For all those that thought Lindsey had turned the corner into a fire breathing conservative after the Kavanaugh confirmationhearings.



He can't even make good on his Burisma/Hunter Biden promise.

Name the former Potus that testified at a congressional hearing?

I don't think the Senate is the right place to do this, anyway.  Why give him that soap box?  I'd be happy if Durham's people just grilled him separately, in private.  Let him shake loose a Prosecutor in a Grand Jury.  Treating O'Bastard like anything better than a common criminal would be a terrible idea.

Lincoln, Wilson and Ford did it while they were still in office.

Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, Truman and Ford testified after they left office.

I'd expect Taft to be on that list, because he went on to become a SCOTUS Chief Justice.  Confirmation Hearings.

Only a couple of them were the House and Senate Judiciary confirmations.

The rest were everything from the Budget Committee to the Military Affairs and Immigration and Naturalization Committees.

Imagine what could actually get done in the House and Senate now if they weren't so busy grandstanding for the cameras?

I prefer "showboating," and you got my argument dead-on.  :beer:
