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 doesn’t 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 director’s 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 Lynch’s 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 doesn’t 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.

Can someone tell why 99% (rough estimate, may be more) of congresscritters are dumber than the average American? How do they get elected? I know they lie a lot.
You answered your own question. Because Graham is stupid, he does NOT have a clue.
I just wish the voters in South Carolina were smart enough to see it too.
Take comey’s report that she was “excessively careless” with classified information and indict her. Finish or start on the foundation, pay for play, Haiti, etc. Uranium to Russia. let’s get cranking. She and her cuckold should be in prison for the rest of their lives. Confiscate her book income as the fruits of a crime.
Well, it’s probably Hillary that you smell...and she is a RAT.
What luck. Now, just maybe, we will have some justice wrought from the hide of Comey and on up that nasty ladder we call the Swamp..
Yes, this is a far cry from all the fainting and pearl-clutching they indulged in when Trump fired Comey. The Art of the Deal.
>> Lindsey Graham always takes a few years to figure it out..
He’s a creep that exploits his capital.
Then Lindsey should check his deodorant.
Seriously, it could be Comey’s life is about to get very interesting.
And down at the piers, something smells fishy. Smelling an individual rat in Washington takes a very discerning nose.
Yeah well, this sucker must be facing down wind or smelling his own upper lip....
