Was he referring to Henry Saad, who was not specifically guaranteed or denied a vote? I'd be beyond shocked if Pryor, Owen, or Brown is defeated in an up-or-down vote. Saad supposedly has something nasty in his FBI file and might be the target. Sounds like the GOP dealmakers are throwing a bone to the liberal activists on behalf of their Democratic counterparts.
Saad was widely believed to be one of those denied a floor vote. IIRC, Graham's comments applied to those that would not continue to be fillibustered.
Apparently Reid did say something to that effect, although it is apparently a violation of Senate rules (and law?) for him to have seen OR commented like that on the file.
But he knows there will be no consequences.
Joe McCarthy had nothing on these guys.
THERE IS NOTHING HIDING IN SAAD'S FBI FILE!
There are HORRIBLE things in every single person's RAW FBI file; all or most of it ( with some exceptions and Saad's NOT one of them! ) garbage made up by old enemies and unprovable.
Be prepared to be shocked. You are very naive, perhaps you'll wake up now.
