Let’s do this!
Lindsey Graham is eager to investigate DOJ, Hillary Clinton
By Steve Benen, MSNBC, November 16
As Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) gets ready to take the reins as chair the Senate Judiciary Committee, he spoke with Fox News’ Sean Hannity this week about his plans for the new year – specifically as to the kind of issues Graham is prepared to investigate. From the Lexis-Nexis transcript:
Story continues below advertisement“You know, to my Democratic friends, if you want to look backwards, we are all going to look backwards. I want to know why the FBI reached to the conclusion along with the Department of Justice that Hillary Clinton didn’t commit a crime. Was it because of political bias? […]
“Did the Department of Justice and the FBI use a document paid for by the Democratic Party? Research by foreign agents to get a warrant against an American citizen that was inappropriate, potentially unlawful? […]
“We need a special counsel to look at all of this. But I intend to look at it. I’m going to look at it. If you are going to keep plowing everything up in 2016, count me in. If you want to look for it, I will look for it.”
Lindsey Graham poised to lead Judiciary panel after Grassley steps down
By Kevin Freking, Associated Press, November 18th, 2018;
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa is giving up the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee after shepherding 84 of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees through the confirmation process over the past two years, including Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
Grassley said he plans to become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee next year. To do that, he’ll have to give up the gavel of the Judiciary Committee, which he has held since 2015. Democrats have accused Grassley of unfairly disregarding Senate protocols and courtesies to get Trump’s nominees confirmed.
The move paves the way for Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. to become the next Judiciary chairman. Graham has become a close Trump ally and was a vocal supporter of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, pushing back against sexual misconduct allegations, which
“If I am fortunate enough to be selected by my colleagues to serve as Chairman, I will push for the appointment and Senate confirmation of highly qualified conservative judges to the federal bench and aggressive oversight of the Department of Justice and FBI,” Graham tweeted Friday.
Grassley, 85, is serving his seventh term. As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Grassley will oversee legislative efforts on taxes and health care. The committee also has jurisdiction over trade issues, a huge issue in his home state of Iowa where farmers and manufacturers have dealt with retaliatory tariffs from China, the European Union and elsewhere for those imposed by the Trump administration.
Grassley said he would focus on more tax cuts. “I want to continue to work to make sure that as many Americans as possible get to experience this good economy for themselves,” he said in his announcement.
But prospects for agreement on taxes probably got harder with Democrats taking control of the House. Democrats opposed the Trump tax cuts, saying they went mostly to the rich and increased the nation’s debt.

I would not trust him. He is like Mc Cain , Session twin.
Crooks and pro-jihadi criminals all around.
CNN and MSM canonises Mc Cain while Egyptian media expose him for being Leading supporter of Muslim Brotherhood in America and Middle east https://tinyurl.com/y9hk3dpk

You’d better remember Graham’s and McCain’s disdain for US: leopards don’t change their spots, they just put on a disguise to get reelected. Graham would have lost his seat in 2020 via a primary. Now he’s being praised to high heaven as the savior of “what”?? His seat and the lead on a powerful committee: you can’t seriously believe he’s turned to help US.
The GOPe/NWO threw this election to the Ds: they are laughing at your support of Graham, believe you me!

Graham is only a man. He CAN be held accountable for his actions. After these OATH TAKERS can be proven to ABDACATE their OATHS take them to COURT!
I HOPE he continues to work FOR America instead of making HIMSELF rich off of Americans.

The liberal plan”take them to court” the courts should not be be the most powerful branch of government: it’s the UniParty plan, eliminate congress’ powers, make the presidency just a figurehead to appear “democratic.”
Get all lawyers out of politics and all politics out of the courts.
Graham is a shill. He is not “FOR” America.

Did they laugh at Graham’s vehement support of Judge Kavannaugh and his support for going after the guilty parties in the FBI, DOJ, and Hillary Clinton?

ALL for show and with approval from the GOPe/NWO: he’s up for reelection for an R seat: people will vote for him to fill the seat, better than a D?? He is worse than a D, he’s a globalist/NWO politician.

My opinion of Senator Graham has jumped in leaps and bounds the past couple of months. Now, I deem him as a Republican who has grown some you-knows, confirmed by his want to investigate the unscrupulous DoJ and lastly, Hillary Clinton and her history of criminality and treason. Hopefully, Obama will soon feel the weight for his treasonous, seditionist bent and endeavor for undermining the Republic.

I want to believe Graham will follow through but I am a tad skeptical.
Too many times, I thought this would happen and it didn’t.
Still I will cheer him on since he one of the FEW who appear to want to do something about this.
All of it goes back to Obama!

I am in agreement; skepticism is wise, as you and I, plus others realize, actions speak louder than words. I have never placed much trust in Graham, as mentioned, he was welded to McShame, LoL, so, it seems to not bode well. Nonetheless, if Graham acts on his words, I like you, and others will be pleased.

Ya, talk,talk and more talk. Is he really going to go after them, or is it more like a threat to just keep the left horde in check.
Where are all these ” sealed indictments “. I’m beginning to wonder if they are just a myth or again just a threat, and if they do exist, are they even going to act on them.
Judicial Watch pushed for FOI on the Clinton witch’s server crimes, but he made the point, ” Why is he having to do this, where are all the other agencies whose job it is to do this “. Good question.

Misplaced loyalty is a dangerous chance to take: go with your instincts, picture McCain and Graham doing the dirty to US, treason should cure you of any misconceptions Graham has produced in the last 2 months: it is all smoke and mirrors and he’s having a big chuckle at the head of the powerful committee table.
Look into the face of the NWO when you look at Graham and soon Romney and you will see McCain and the Bush Cartel looking back at you: watch your back it’s wide open to them.

Graham will not lead anything lawful to the Clintons, Obama or FBI/CIA: to do so would lead directly to the BushCartel, their beginning WWll and the real plot for NWO, Graham’s dream.
Graham used his subterfuge—> good R–> to get reelected 2020 (like McCain did every election) and to get in the big committee chair. You have been duped.

There is no limit to the downward depravity of man. All of Judges 19 is a sordid reminder of how it happened in Israel then. It is happening now in America and in many other places where leftists and Muslims have taken control.

Hillaryous & Bull must never be up there again. Both have committed treason many times oven and broke many Federal laws of which they have NOT been prosecuted which would actually make them ILLEGAL to be President of these United States.
But they never prosecuted their dear Nerogro sodomite, Diane Frankenstein, Wassername, James Corney and many other Demoncraps up there. So there is a possibility the bwitch will try to run again. Oh, you can count on that. She is just itching for it. Biden her time.
My only hope is she will get SICK AND DIE and spread whatever disease she has on the other 535 Congogressmen that PUT the Negro sodomite illegally in power and then proceeded to worship him.

Graham will play the dog and pony show, but he can’t bring down the Clintons, Obama, and the corrupt FBI/CIA because the dominoes would lead straight back to the Bush Cartel via Jeb! and McCain and trillions and trillions of laundered money: a few minor players will go down, but, the main ones they “want”to take down………>>>>>> #STOPTRUMP and We the PEOPLE.
The GOPe/UniParty think they have won, but they have another think coming. Wait till you see Romney lord it over US.
McCain is behind every deceitful thing Graham is doing, please remember that, the plot thickened for the NWO during WWll with the formation of the Bush Cartel. It’s the same tactics they used to get Goldwater and Sarah Palin: Sarah and Trump need to join forces, she knows how to keep US alive and freedom loving.
The GOPe/NWO, masters of deceit and corruption: be careful what you wish for in Graham, leopards do not change their spots.

Where is SARAH?? SOS, We need your guidance, optimism, and political acumen.
This election was a hoax by the NWO folks. And now they are going to go full force to #StopTrump and We the People.
Trump can’t do this on his own: he’s fighting the GOPe, Bush Cartel, Democrats, MSM, the Fed, IMF, rioters/mobs, and invaders at our borders. Oh, forgot the rest of the world’s NWO corruptocrats and trillions upon trillions of dirty money being laundered.
Again We need Sarah’s commonsense wisdom!

Why did DOJ give a pass to Hillary Clinton? Because they were following the policy set by the Bush Administration for AG Gonzales when he screwed up. Why did DOJ use the Steele Dossier in the FISA application? Because it was valid.
Graham needs to stop repeating Trump talking points and go back to thinking for himself.
