Senator backs Trump, saying 'it is becoming increasingly clear' former president operated a biased Justice Dept.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) defended President Donald Trump Tuesday on Twitter against critics who claimed he “politicized” the Department of Justice (DOJ) by pointing to his predecessor’s actual “politicization” of federal law enforcement.
“I completely support House Republican efforts to have President Trump declassify the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] warrant applications, the Bruce Ohr/Chris Steele interactions, and all other relevant information regarding allegations of corruption in the DOJ & FBI,” Graham tweeted.
“It is increasingly clear it was the Obama Administration who politicized the DOJ/FBI, not the Trump Administration,” he added.
Graham’s first tweet included an article from The Daily Caller published Sunday, titled “Trump Reportedly Close to Declassifying Carter Page and Bruce Ohr Documents.”
The senator called in August for a special counsel to investigate Ohr, the DOJ’s controversial former associate deputy attorney general, and his role in the FBI’s investigation into allegations of collusion between Trump aides and Russian interests in the 2016 campaign.
Ohr’s wife, Nellie, was an employee of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm used by 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign to obtain negative allegations against Trump from Russian sources, via former British spy Christopher Steele.
Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which she controlled as her party’s president nominee, paid for Steele’s compilation of the anti-Trump materials into what became known as the Steele dossier. The FBI used the dossier to justify its Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court application and renewals to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and others.

“Bruce Ohr was at least unethical. We need a special counsel to look at all things Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump investigation, particularly the counterintelligence investigation,” Graham said in mid-August during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”
The president has long railed against the anti-Trump and pro-Clinton bias found within the DOJ and FBI and decried special counsel Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt” against him.
Many Democrats and liberal pundits accused Trump of politicizing the DOJ and FBI with his repeated criticisms against some of the controversial former and current top officials involved in the Trump campaign investigation.

Many Democrats and liberal pundits accused Trump of politicizing the DOJ and FBI with his repeated criticisms against some of the controversial former and current top officials involved in the Trump campaign investigation.
The FBI investigated Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign season for her use of a private email server located in her New York mansion to conduct official business as secretary of state. She was absolved by former FBI Director James Comey in July 2016, even though dozens of messages containing confidential information was found on the server.
In addition to Ohr and Steele, Trump, Graham and other Republicans point to the thousands of virulently anti-Trump and pro-Clinton text messages exchanged between former top FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page during their work on the Russia collusion probe.
Strzok participated in both the Clinton investigation and the Trump probe. But Mueller removed Strzok from the Russia probe after the text messages with Page became public.
Too little, too late. Not even a “nice try” there Linda...
[Hey linda, why have you waited so long to begin yelling about something we’ve all known about and been disgusted about for a long time? Did some other event trigger your actions?]
When a RINO pays attention to a Conservative point, you better pay attention, because it indicates there is clear merit to the charge at hand.
I agree, better late than never.
Lindsey has been pretty hot lately though
Senator Graham can see that President Trump is going to be a very strong candidate for re-election in 2020. If the Senator doesn’t get on the Trump train he may find himself in a primary fight. One of the things that all incumbents can see is the number that are losing primary battles in both parties.
Thanks for the mention.
Must be hell lapping up to his heels...
Panties wadded...
McStain no longer around to blackmail Linda anymore, is that it??? wonder what he had on him...
How come Graham wasn't interested in corruption when Obama was the President?
Maybe the expiration of Juan McQueeg has done something.
><
I am sure of that. I noticed an improvement before McQueeg croaked.
Took the boy a while, but it sunk in... about eight years too long, but hey, things are looking up.
That boy’s about as sharp as a bowlin’ ball...
I’ve noticed a huge difference since McCain died...is it possible I could like this man again?
Yes it is, until he reverts back to his true self.
That boy’s about as sharp as a bowlin’ ball...
I resemble that remark.
Who knew Linda had a set....
Maybe McCain unlocked them as a parting gift...
The timeless wisdom and one-liners of Foghorn Leghorn.
You know... I REALLY miss the way cartoons used to be.
No, no 2nd SC.
There is in place a force better than another SC. A DOJ prosecutor working with the DOJ IG and the IG’s army of 470 attorneys. The prosecutor’s name is Huber.
As several Q posts imply, a 2nd SC would be in the DC district, a district that went 90% against Trump, such an SC would have a staff of only about 14 attorneys and take years to get to the bottom, if ever, of what transpired in FISAGATE.
Whereas Huber is working with 470 attorneys nationwide and is able to convene grand juries in any state. In fact, it is widely believed Huber has already convened grand juries and is gathering evidence that will cause the DNC leadership to be removed.
Graham wants a 2nd SC to replace Huber and to lay out a whole new scope of investigation that Congress can have oversight of. Right now as it is with Huber, Congress has very little oversight.
Is Graham doing this for POTUS or for deep state actors?
