Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is postponing a vote on authorizing subpoenas for more than 50 individuals as Republicans ramp up their investigation into the Russia probe.
Graham said he was delaying the vote to give senators enough time to fully debate the issue, as the meeting brushed up against a pre-scheduled vote on the Senate floor.
"We're going to do what this committee needs to do, and we're doing to fight it out and we're going to vote. And we're not going to be done today, so I don't see a resolution this day, if you need to go somewhere go. ...I think the best thing for us to do is [to] carry this over to next week so we can have a full discussion," Graham said.
He added that "we'll get to [a] conclusion next week" on the subpoena vote.
Graham's announcement came after a tense moment in the committee, with multiple members yelling at each other as they tried to figure out the schedule for the meeting.
"Can we get a sense of how long we're going to be here? .... With all due respect, I don't think anybody in private ever disagrees with me when I say that it's bulls--- the way people grandstand for cameras in here. The reality is if we didn't have cameras in this room, the discussion would be different," said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.).
Sasse added that "90 percent of our committees are about people trolling for soundbites."
Graham countered that "I don't think they're trolling for soundbites, I think they're genuinely upset with what I'm doing."

Are we surprised! NOT
Linda is walking the tightrope between looking good while getting nothing done.
It takes a delicate sense of balance.
Confirm more judges then
Hope all of this doesn’t get tossed down the memory hole.
Corruption, what corruption?! We have a president who holds up Bibles in front of churches!
/sarc
Schiff had no problem issuing subpoenas on his own without GOP consent or input.
Sasse added that “90 percent of our committees are about people trolling for soundbites.”
Graham countered that “I don’t think they’re trolling for soundbites, I think they’re genuinely upset with what I’m doing.”
Does Graham really think trying to make peace with these people will work after everything they have *already* done?
Issue all the subpoenas you want. Nobody is going to show up anyway.
He’ll huff and puff.... but he just blows a lot of hot air.
Ad she will be back on Hannity every night talking tough and saying hearings will be held. Blah Blah Blah
What a pussy.
I see Linda had to give back that backbone.
Issue all the subpoenas you want. Nobody is going to show up anyway.
Why wouldn’t they? The coupists know they have top cover from the GOP Senate. Weissmann is running his mouth all over MSNBC, McCabe on CNN, etc. Guilty as sin, free as birds.
Little slimy deep state hack. Talks big, does NOTHING. Does the Washington Two-Step real well....
We all know you’re gay Lindsey (we don’t care)....what else are you hiding? The swamp runs deep.
This pussy actually send fundraising letters to me.
Trump fails again. Moron.
