Lindsey Graham Refuses To Back Down, Torches IG Report for Not Clearing Trump
westernjournal ^ | 06/19/2018 | Ben Marquis

Many conservatives aren’t exactly fans of Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, as he has a tendency to more often than not side with the bipartisan establishment over the GOP base on a number of issues. But he has been coming around a bit more lately, becoming more outspoken in his support of President Donald Trump and vociferously calling out misdeeds and wrongdoing where it is patently obvious.

For example, check out his rather pointed line of questioning during Monday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz and FBI Director Christopher Wray to discuss the recently released IG report on the FBI’s mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation in 2016.

That 568-page report was loaded with example after example of blatant partisan bias on the part of FBI agents and attorneys who were involved in the investigation, yet the report stopped short of stating definitively that obvious bias played a decisive role in the investigation’s conclusion to exonerate Clinton of the various crimes she and her cohorts allegedly committed.

The media has completely ignored the IG report, the NK success and the economic growth - Trifecta of good news for Trump so they must ignore as they campaign for the Dems.

Funny how he changed his tune once McNasty got gone.

I appreciate Lindsey Graham’s efforts.
I will still be appreciating them when I vote against him in 2020.

My exposure to IG and follow on reports is that the IG reports findings of fact. Actionable items are then corrected. If that entails legal proceedings then it is up to the receiver, not the IG.

Linda is swinging his purse and b*tch-slapping opponents. Really misses his partner, McNasty.

Now that the McCain influence is diminishing, Graham’s narrow view of the world is a but more enlightened.

Well Linda was JAG. He may just decide to get riled up about other lawyers making folks look bad.

IF he decides to do something this might get interesting

He’d be very good running State, Defense or Justice. He doesn’t really represent S.C. and he enjoys the limelight. It is what it is. His ACU rating? Tell me.

IIRC, the ‘no political bias’ conclusion was in reference to Comey not having political bias when he reopened the Hillary investigation in October before the election. No evidence that he was biased against Hillary. But of course, Big Media AND WRAY, used those words to manipulate the masses by implying that there was no political bias anywhere to be found within the FIB. LYING LIARS!

“Let me guess... Linda is up for reelection, right?”

Graham was reelected in 2014. Thanks to the 6 year terms given US Senators he will next face the voters in 2020.
