Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Monday that he will probe alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) at the start of the Russia investigation, while calling on Attorney General Bill Barr to appoint a new special counsel to investigate the other side of the story.

How much are we trusting Linda these days?
New man or new face?
I guess time will tell.
Why the need for a special counsel?
This is theater. Investigations are already ongoing. OIG has been looking into this for some time.
“Why the need for a special counsel?”
Death by a thousand cuts.
Should have been done a LONG TIME AGO..just DO IT already
Lindsey is no longer under the spell of McCain.
Sounds like a job for Huber !
Yeah WTH was that all about?
A bromance?
He has changed since.
Law enforcement doesn’t require special counsels. Show me where it even allows one. Show me the law.
Hunting down traitors does not require special counsels.
Where was Graham when the FISA court renewal was rushed through Congress? It was widely suspected at the time that the Obama admin had abused the Fisa system and yet Graham didn’t say a word.
Given that I fully believe there is no thing of substance to Graham’s posturing here. This is just another Gowdyesque beltway theater performance leading to nothing.
“Why the need for a special counsel?”
Well, regardless of Graham’s request, it’s well known that AG Barr detests the special counsel provision. So, it’s not going to happen.
Lindsey is no longer under the spell of McCain.
He’s posturing for 2020. That’s it. We’ve seen this Congressional GOP beltway movie before. It has a bad ending for the rule of law.
We need Senate hearings on Traitor Roberts’ lack of oversight of the FISA Court Judges and process.
I don't understand either.
OIG report on this is scheduled to be released when?
OIG is not a prosecutor and can’t call a grand jury. You may think an OIG is fine, but it isn’t good enough. An OIG can only recommmend, while a special counsel can indict and you call it theater. Rolling my eyes.
From Wikepedia..
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Don’t question the value of a gift. The proverb refers to the practice of evaluating the age of a horse by looking at its teeth..
I’ve been knocking phrases I didn’t understand off slowly but surely :)
I finally figured out “man bites dog” the other day :)
Release date is a secret. I think it will be soon though.
I believe that OIG is working with others. probably the AG. And maybe Huber.
