Lindsey Graham says declassified documents show FBI lied to Senate about Steele dossier: 'Somebody needs to go to jail for this'
theblaze ^ | August 9,2020 | Paul Sacca

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Sunday that newly declassified FBI documents from 2018 show that the bureau lied to the Senate Intelligence Committee about Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier.

POLL: Will Joe Biden still be the Democratic Party's presidential candidate when we get to November?

"This document clearly shows that the FBI was continuing to mislead regarding the reliability of the Steele dossier," Graham said during an interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." "The FBI did to the Senate Intelligence Committee what the Department of Justice and FBI had previously done to the FISA court: mischaracterize, mislead, and lie."

"The characterizations regarding the dossier were completely out of touch with reality in terms of what the Russian subsource actually said to the FBI," Graham told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. "What does this mean? That Congress, as well as the FISA court, was lied to about the reliability of the Russian subsource. I will be asking FBI Director Wray to provide me all the details possible about how the briefing was arranged and who provided it."

If anyone goes to jail it will be the janitor at FBI headquarters.

Prominent Republicans may have been conspirators in the coup against Trump.

You won’t hear Old Lindsey utter a word about Stephan Halper.

He speaks very carefully, and it’s like Halper doesn’t exist.

Halper tried to get a job with the Trump Campaign, too

>>Coup attempts are treason. Both Obama and Clinton should be executed.<<

Treason and sedition. These people conspired with one another to subvert an American election and when it failed, conspired to unseat an American president by facilitating a coup against Trump and folks associated with his campaign and or administration.

The whole thing...the investigations over the last 4 1/2 years during the campaign to Trump's presidency has been a huge big fat lie. Nadler, Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer along with all the crooked cops within the FBI and DOJ, Mueller prosecutors and the propaganda media...good grief, all corrupt to the core.

This all feels like a Tom Clancy spy novel.

Graham's reelection is not assured due to conservatives angry at his lack of action. Keep in mind that South Carolina is not immune from the liberal infiltration that moved Virginia to the blue column and threatens the same in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. So he has ratcheted up his rhetoric.

Watched a montage of people from the right and left on news programs guaranteeing Trump would never become president. Funny as heck.
Point though...Lindsey Graham was one of those on the talking head news programs gleefully touting, “Trump will never be president”.

You’re correct, it was John McCain AND his butt buddy Linda that helped fuel the fire early on.

“Durham hired all Dems, who indict two low level soldiers, while Comey, Strzok, McCabe, Yates, Weismann, Brennan - all cash in.”

Would it really matter if Durham had hired all Republicans? What GOP lawyer at DOJ or in private practice, who wants to have a long term career (and life), is going to go up against the power players and their pawns?

Lindsay Graham, Richard Burr, Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, and the rest are simply playing the roles they are assigned in the big performance being put on for the sheeple.

The entire Democrat Party is in panic. And well they should be.

Im thinking it’s going to be Comey. Truth be told, both sides hate the guy. Throwing him under the bus seems substantial and provides cover for giving everyone else a pass. You’ll note he’s been pretty quiet recently.

running out the clock until post-Trump....

Do the Graham, Romney and Kasich types really think the Dem/BLM/Socialists who quickly push us into Marxism in January, 2021 will graciously thank the RINO traitors with pats on the back and new powerful jobs? Fuuhhhhggetttabouddit.

Nobody needs them. And good luck running as GOP with our support. No chance.

The only problem with that plan is you leave the unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy in place. That’s where the biggest problems lie. Changing the nomenklatura avails little, when the apparatchik remain.

The true power of the Leviathan lies in the tyranny of petty people, and their certainty, with just a little more power, they can achieve the Greater Good.
