Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News on Thursday that he wants to bring back James Comey to testify on Capitol Hill, citing concerns about his statements on the conclusion of the Hillary Clinton email case.
This doesnt add up, and I smell a rat here, Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview with Fox News' Catherine Herridge.
The Republican senator, who chairs a Senate Judiciary subcommittee, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, last week revealed new details they learned about the Clinton case from interview transcripts. According to the senators, the transcripts say Comey began drafting an exoneration statement for Clinton weeks before interviewing her which in turn raised questions about the former FBI directors testimony in June before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
At the time, Comey was asked whether his decision to announce the results of the investigation in July 2016 was influenced by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynchs infamous meeting days earlier on an Arizona tarmac with former President Bill Clinton.
Yes, in an ultimately conclusive way, that was the thing that capped it for me that I had to do something separately to protect the credibility of the investigation, Comey said.

Graham said Thursday he doesnt think Comey perjured himself, but suggested the interview transcripts raise questions that must be resolved.
He needs to come back to committee, Graham said.
Graham said there are two issues he wants to discuss.

As always, great information. Was Comey under oath? I don’t recall. I thought he insisted on testifying in public and not under oath.
Either way, Comey is not going to testify again. they can issue Subpoenas. At best he will show up and take the 5th. There is no way he could say all those things again and no one be charged. Will AG Sessions intervene to help comey?
It is a crime to lie to or even mislead Congress whether or not one is under oath. Same with the FBI.
There’s just no will to prosecute.
Too soon to hang Comey. I. hope the Wasserman-Schultz Pakistani case blows up with a bang loud enough to tear the facade of the entire democrat establishment, from Hillary/Obama on down. Comey would most assuredly be implicated. Just imagine the deal making....It would be like trading cattle futures on the commodity exchange.
Graham wants to pull a “Comey” by letting Comey testify again so he can claim he misspoke. Or he can say he wrote the exoneration letter early but it was Lynch’s meeting with Bill that made him add one last sentence.
I smell a ‘RAT, too ... her name is Lindsey Graham ... she pretends to be a man. Also pretends to be a Republican.
I think the rinos just realized Trump can “deal” with the Democrats and make the Republicans irrelevant. The Dems will give Trump most of what he wants for two years then they will slaughter the Republicans in 2018.
That’s no rat, Lindsey. Comey borrowed your gerbil.
Can rats smell other rats?
In other words, Graham wants someone’s ass..... :-)

Rich!
Captain Oblivious strikes out. Again.
LOL!!! Thanks!
No kidding, Linda.
This says it all. Graham has no interest in pursuing felony charges against Comey. Shoot! Lying to Congress is no big deal anymore because no one is held accountable. This move by Graham is for more kabuki theater, which will involve Graham, the feckless Senate judiciary committee and the swamp's media minions.
Lord help us!
Comey was either bought off or is he an ideological Marxist.
He aspired to cause harm to the Republic on a cataclysmic scale
Pre planned questions with pre planned answers!
Well it is about time you took a big sniff!
Yeah, it’s only been 500lbs of dung in the middle of his bed!!
