President Trump has authorized Attorney General Bill Barr to declassify all materials related to the Russia investigation, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is giving his full support.
Graham said that while Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation was "not a witch hunt" like Trump has claimed, he wants to know exactly how and why it began, and expressed suspicion for those who do not support Trump's decision to release the relevant documents.
"The people who are worried about this are worried about being exposed for taking the law in their own hands," Graham said on "Fox News Sunday."
Graham was referring to the process the FBI used in applying for a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans have claimed that the FBI improperly relied on and misrepresented information from Christopher Steele's unverified Russia dossier. Democrats have downplayed the role the dossier may have played in the process.

One other thing, they weren’t taking the law in their own hands, they made things up, trying to hurt Trump.
They need to be exposed and put in jail.
Worried? Traitors are hanged.
I bet more than one of them has awoken in a cold sweat having dreamt they felt the trap door fall beneath their feet, and felt the slither of the slack in the rope rubbing against their body as they fell past it, only to snap awake before their dream neck snapped...
If Trump had acted like them during the Mueller probe the Democrats and the media would have been chanting that it was proof of guilt. And they would have been right.
I don’t think that’s quite what you meant.
There does seem to be an odor about this, the people screeching the loudest generally are the most culpable.
“not a witch hunt”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like hell it wasn’t.
I’ll bet quite a few of them have contemplated the pistol in their dresser drawer at this point too.
Correct.
They were committing crimes under color of law.
I think so, too.
We can hope hope they use that option.
They’re either worried that they will get rounded up, or they are married to someone who might get rounded up.
not a witch hunt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like hell it wasnt.
True, but it’s a good political statement to make. After all, the report, in the end, exonerates Trump, so accepting it means accepting the results. Also, sounding “reasonable” (less combative than Trump’s condemnation) while calling for investigation into the origins of the probe, is good politics.
I hope Graham continues to sound reasonable, all the while the gallows are being built.
I hope people aren’t fooled by Grahamnesty and he is primaried out of office for his previous three amnesty attempts. If re-elected he will try for a fourth.
Looks like the citizens of NC are going to primary that rat Tillis.
yes and replace him if possible...
We have lots of good, strong Conservatives in South Carolina that would be light years better than linda in the Senate.
South Carolina having open primaries is the problem. During the primaries, several people, some much better than linda, will run opposing linda. But on primary voting day the RATS cross over in droves and vote for linda. linda wins the primary and, since SC is a strong red state, goes on the win the election.
The SC legislature is beginning to grow some balls and is making noise about going to closed primaries.
Can't happen soon enough for me and lots of other Republican voters. But until the law is changed, linda has a job for life and she knows it.
Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal would bring terrible retribution!!
