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."

Your comment would make a great tag line. BUMP!
Mind you maybe not in our lifetime.
Rush showed a picture of Clinton today holding up a Bible at the same location. Strangely that didn't cause an outcry back then, he didn't offer an explanation as to why. </s>
The heck with a Russian subpoena... Where are the federal judge floor votes?!?
These GOP scum are frittering away the remaining 0.01% chance left to peacefully restore the Constitution as the Nation's foundation...
When the shooting starts it should be the GOP that gets strung up first, IMHO...
Absolutely correct, traitors are the worst.
