Graham to FBI: Just say if Trump’s wiretap claims are legit or not

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Wednesday said Congress will “flex its muscle” if the Department of Justice doesn’t come forward with answers about President Trump’s claims that former President Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower.

“We’ll issue a subpoena to get the information. We’ll hold up the deputy attorney general’s nomination until Congress is provided with information to clear the air as to whether or not there was a warrant issued against the Trump campaign,” Graham (R-SC) said on NBC’s “Today.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Tuesday evening his panel will delay the nomination of Rod Rosenstein until FBI Director James Comey comes clean on any Russian investigations.

Graham said he’s increasing frustrated by the DOJ’s stalling on whether there’s evidence to support Trump’s claims about being monitored during the election.

“If it’s not true, just tell me it’s not true. Why is it taking so long to get the answer?” Graham said. “I have no evidence of it, I’m suspicious of it, but now I’m getting concerned because it’s taking so long to answer my lette

Only reason they haven’t said anything yet is that it’s true. If it were false, they could have said so immediately.

Hey Clown!

The last time the FBI told Trump he was right, and he asked them to go public with the assertion, they said NO!

Could you please try being on the AMERICAN team for a change?!?!?!

Trump has them in a box. If the FBI says it is not true, categorically, and Trump has evidence, which he likely does, then they are in deep doo doo.

The FBI and all the intelligence agencies are big machines with lots of moving parts. Making a blanket claim without evidence, would be stupid.

The most the FBI head can say is: To the best of my knowledge...

Is he talking about Hillary’s Benghazi testimony where she committed perjury that Comey is investigating?
Does Graham Give a chit about that?

Graham ignores the fact that The FBI is probably not the one doing it and may be out of the loop.

He needs to earn his pay quit grandstanding.

I’m not clear on just what Graham is attempting to imply, here. Does he think the Trump administration has ordered that Trump’s allegation of wiretapping or otherwise having his communications surveilled is to remain unconfirmed? What leverage would holding up administration nominations serve if that’s not what Graham is implying?

Nobody owes you an answer on this, Linda.

Heh.

The new admin hasn’t even had a chance to clean house and get shed of the career white collar criminals that’ve infested Justice since Clinton took office and King Cuck is trying to claim the Trump admin is stonewalling?

I tend toward holding the idiots that elected Lindy responsible for lady lind’s degeneracy in office.

Grahamnesty needs to know if it’s true so that he can jump onto the winning side of the issues.

Linda is worried her role in Benghazi, gun running and the queer aristocracy in the mil-industrial/pentagon complex will be exposed.... as it should. She will be caught up in the Clinton Foundation investigation that was NOT being fully done by mr. Preet the NY justice dept DA that Trump fired, for one.
Second, there is this illegal spying by obamaumao “off the books” on mr. Trump— linda’s role in that in Senate committee level knowledge of it, and now in Trumps control, exposure of her LEAKS.
Then, of course there is the famous utterly fake “dossier” created by democratic scum operatives and money and brought to the “FBI’s attention” by the ever so dutiful McCain who sent one of his aides to the UK to pick it up from the scummy fakir MI5 guy Steele (as part of the now beginning to be apparent system of using the signals intelligence of the UK... the GCHQ— to spy on Mr. Trump and his aides, and doing so with the non-participation and knowledge of the NSA and Admiral Rogers, the director— who informed Mr. Trump of this 10 days after winning the election in November. Truly incredible. A president, using foreign intelligence, probably compromised by actual Russians— to spy on a private US citizen, to win an election for a corrupt party with very close Russian ties).

This is what is at stake. Hold up the appt. of the Deputy AG?— but NOT hold up the deputy AG obamaumao salted in place and whom Mr. Trump removed (Dana Boente is still deputy AG, acting— but it was a Holder pal Channing Phillips, that obama wanted for that role— to cover over his own gang of DC thugs, and Lowretta). Little Linda is quite the weasel queer, and McCain is in there slugging as well.

Trump met with Linda (keep your enemies closer) and then Linda does this. Quite telling. Trump is going to wipe the floor with her, having gotten Nikki Haley out of the way. Linda ain’t winning her Senate re-election in SC, and finally the farce that fooled Strom Thurmond into endorsing her— will end. McCain is gelded— no one believes him— not even the Bushies who he hates, but whom are supporting this cabal against Trump, because it is the end of their constant grimy struggle to be somebody as a political dynasty, just as bad and just as uniparty as the Clintons. Their era is over.

FWIW— my humble opinion on what is going on. Graham should never have been elected- period.

Graham is playing a game.

A dog and pony show.

He KNOWS the FBI is not involved.

He might as well be asking if the “ladies spring tea and crumpet society” can confirm the wire tapping.

Graham is pretend fighting to support his pretend fighting McCain.

See it's not just Lindsey, it's also Grassley.

Now why would they threaten to hold up President Trump's deputy attorney general’s nomination, if comey doesn't give them what they want?

What color are their eyes?
Because I want to know who's more full of shit here...
