Tucker Carlson, Rand Paul Accuse Graham of ‘Total Inaction’ in Investigating Origins of Russia Probe
National Review ^ | Oct 22 2019 | Tobias Hoonhout

Posted on 10/22/2019 9:14:34 AM PDT by rintintin

Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson hosted Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) on his show Monday night to discuss Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham’s (R., S.C.) handling of the ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia Investigation.

In a segment titled “Lindsey Graham Keeps Making Empty Promises,” Carlson challenged Graham for not unearthing the facts behind the initial probe.

“From the beginning, Graham promised to use his powers as [Senate Judiciary Committee] chairman — which are substantial — to get to the bottom of the Russia investigation: how did it start, as well as the bottom of other efforts by the American bureaucracy to control American politics,” Carlson said. “That’s a general promise, but Graham got more specific. He said he would find the truth with a series of actions. He would probe whether or not top DOD officials plotted a bureaucratic coup. He said he would subpoena Andrew McCabe as well as Rod Rosenstein if necessary. So far, Graham’s tenure has been defined by total inaction.”

The Fox host then brought on Paul to offer his thoughts.

“I can’t call committee hearings and drag these people in. Senator Graham has the power,” Paul said. “He is the chairman of a powerful committee, the Judiciary Committee. Yes, I’ve encouraged them publicly and privately to do this . . . everything the Democrats have accused President Trump of doing, you know, investigating a political rival with a foreign country, all those same questions should be asked of the Democrats: did they do that to Trump?”

Someone is waving Linda’s blackmail file at him so he is dancing to their number.

Getting corrupt politicians to investigate themselves is difficult to say the least.

Well, folks, Trump talks big himself. But, he puts his words into action.

Sen. Graham OTOH talks big and does nothing, except talk even bigger at re-election.

Paul while assenting to Carlson’s comments, was not confrontational to Graham. Carlson hit the nail on the head many times in this interview. Right after that, he had that POS Hitlery supporter whose head looks like an artillery shell. Carlson did not let him get off the canvass with his questions albeit the guest tried to undermine the questions from the get go.

Graham is starting to get a lot of heat from this from a lot of corners. Good.

I think mcconnel is getting a free pass so far, he is pulling the strings. Congress is flat out undermining this nation. It has got to be stopped, but how?

Unless there is a serious primary challenger to Graham, Graham will continue to protect the swamp.

It’s not inaction when you are working to protect the guilty.

You must be talking about Richard Goodstein. I never know what he says because when Tucker introduces him I hit the Mute button. I always thought his head looked like a d*ck but maybe your description is better and doesn’t require the use of *.

Here is the direct link without going through the google referrer URL link in the OP. Please don’t give google anymore business and tracking ability than they deserve, especially here if not really needed.

Gramnesty doesn’t want to drag McVain’s name through the mud, but we all know the real reason why he won’t conduct his own hearing. Plenty of Repukes will be exposed too in the Swamp corruption.

"TO PROTECT DEAD JOHN MCCAIN"

Rush even mentioned it today. It has been mentioned on twitter as a theory. Yes it makes sense....

The liberal you’re talking about is Goodstein. He’s the kind of guy I suspect O’Reilly would have stopped the discussion after warning the guy to stop lying. Same goes for the other a**hole who worked for Schumer.
