Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Say what you will about South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham – and lots of things are said about him for sure – but he is one powerful hombre in Washington, D.C. today. As the new Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, when Graham talks, people listen, and you can bet Attorney General William Barr was listening when the Senator held a press conference this morning in which he called for the appointment of a new special counsel.
From the Boston Globe:
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham on Monday accused the FBI of “unprofessional conduct” in its initial investigation of potential links between Russian election interference and President Trump’s campaign and called for a new probe of its origins.
Now that Robert Mueller’s investigation is over, Graham said he plans to “get answers” about how the Russia probe was started and whether it was used as an excuse to spy on Trump’s presidential campaign. He urged Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to examine the issue.
Sen. Graham also said his Committee will conduct its own investigation into the origins of the counterintelligence investigation targeting the Trump Campaign in late 2015, and into the rampant misconduct within the DOJ, FBI and various U.S. intelligence agencies.
For Attorney General Barr, Graham’s call for a special counsel investigation presents an inflection point in which he will either demonstrate he is a real AG who is truly intent on doing the job of bringing the real wrong-doers in the nations biggest political scandal to justice, or just another placeholder who, like Jeff Sessions, sees his main job as protecting the interests of the D.C. deep state establishment.
Sessions deflected calls by then-Senate Judiciary Chuck Grassley for a special counsel investigation in late 2017 by implying that Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber was on the case and using his team to look into all the Obama-era deep state shenanigans. But here we sit, 15 months later, and Huber’s office has yet to produce a single perp walk or indictment.
If Huber is indeed doing anything related to any of this, now would be the time for Barr to make it public, so that Americans outraged by the anti-American actions within the DOJ/FBI that went on throughout 2016 and 2017 can see that an effort is being made to enforce real justice. If Huber is, as many suspect, just a beard Sessions used to mask his own lack of interest in holding anyone truly accountable, Graham’s call for a special counsel offers Barr the chance to differentiate himself from his do-nothing predecessor.
The ball’s in your court, General Barr. Show us what you got.
That is all.

Is he sure he wants deep state traitor colleagues like Richard Burr to be implicated?
Was Huber taking us for a ride?
I worry that this is a stall tactic by linda. I believe he is in this up to his neck. He was mccaniac’s side kick for years. No way he did not know what mccaniac was doing.
Graham is a complete and utter joke. No truth is going to come from this kabuki ball-gargler. I would stake my life on the fact that this bun puncher voted for hillary in 2016 and helped McStain pass around the fake dossier.
Let the carpet bombing of the Democrats begin!
Notice targeting the FBI.
No mention or Congress or Senators being involved.
He got his new job to make sure HE isn’t targeted by the FISA investigation.
If McCain was involved, Linda knew about it.
Remember it was McCain who backed Graham for President to oppose Trump.
I’d like to see a special counsel look into Uranium One, and how many politicians, their relatives and charitable foundations received bribes.
Unless Graham stops acting like a barking dog and actually does something it’s a rabbit hole....
No-one is ever going to believe anything the FBI says until this whole thing is exposed and they, the CIA and other involved intelligence agencies are ‘cleaned out.’
Flimsey Grahamnesty is running for re-election.
After the rubes re-elect him, he’ll be back to pushing amnesty.
This is grandstanding which will produce nothing.
Graham is one of those who enabled the Kenyan from Indonesia to usurp the office that the Constitution says he may not hold.
“Headfake” Huber was never investigating anything.
That is not just collusion, it is TREASON!
Unless Graham stops acting like a barking dog and actually does something it’s a rabbit hole....

You’re stuck on stupid.
Your instincts are correct.
Actions speak. If it was a stall tactic, he’d just keep talking about it. Seems like he was just waiting for the Mueller report to be released.
I agree, investigate:
1)FBI
2)CIA
3) FISA Court
4) Dossier origination and timelines, Hillary’s involvement
5) Obama’s involvement
“Graham is a complete and utter joke. No truth is going to come from this kabuki ball-gargler. I would stake my life on the fact that this bun puncher voted for hillary in 2016 and helped McStain pass around the fake dossier”.
And President Trump is going to say bygones be bygones and invite all the Rats to dinner. All is forgiven. We forgive you for this coup. Pretty please, don’t do it again.
LOCK THEM UP. Enemies domestic.
