Title: Dems Angry As Lindsey Graham Uses New Judicial Committee Chair To Investigate Obama Era Scandals
Post by: Emjay on January 21, 2019, 08:27:43 pm

Democrats are less than thrilled over the fact that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has decided to use his new position as chairmen of the Senate Judicial Committee to look back into the scandals of the Obama Administration.

According to The Hill, Graham has turned his attention to scandals such as the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications targeting former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Some Democrats have immediately turned to mocking Graham over the investigations, saying he’s wasting their time:
“This is going to be like the History Channel it turns out. Instead of taking a look at the current issues, Lindsey Graham wants to go back and answer important questions about the Bermuda Triangle and Hillary Clinton,” Durbin told The Hill.
Durbin said he was “concerned” about Graham’s plans but quipped that “you know there is that question about Jimmy Carter which he probably wants to ask.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), another member of the panel, said maybe Graham should “investigate Benghazi some more too” — an apparent reference to a years-long House probe that Democrats considered a political stunt.

To quote Janet Reno, " There is no evidence which exists..."

If Graham blows this, and I think he will, they'll walk.

The Mueller/Rosenstein investigation has given 'them' time to bury and destroy evidence.

Well, nothing to lose by trying since they've walked until now.

And we can enjoy the show.

Should keep Graham occupied and he might actually do something positive.

But the Impeachment of Trump isn't a stunt, right Turban?

Exactly what it is.  Reality show.  Up the ratings.  Trump already at the very, very beginning of his presidency said Hillary had suffered enough.
