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.”

I would hope the last the Special Counsel would had ended all this hate but:

Looking at people high places in the government and media this is the only way to shut down this Let’s Get Trump aka The Resistance movement. They need to see their beliefs are all base on lies.

Lindsey is correct on this, it needs to happen now and quickly. If it goes all the way back to President Obama so be it.

Yawn. The Senate version of Trey Gowdy. Great for Hannity hype and Facebook video shares, but not much else.

I’m not so sure this is a good idea. Just like people were getting sick of the Mueller investigation, the GOP run the same risk of looking partisan, petty, vindictive, etc... It could turn voters off.

They should just ride this wave of vindication and keep blasting their accomplishments. The ACA could collapse. Green Deal voted 57-0 down. Wall Emergency sustained. It’s one victory after another. Don’t give them anything to pick on.

Yeah, that Gowdy fellow did a heck of a job on Benghazi. Got the facts and the truth and the bad people were punished.

Wait a minute...

OIG has been looking into this for some time.

Or so we've been told. I don't believe anything coming out of DC, unless it's from PDJT.

He has changed since.

I wouldn't bet money on that. The leopard doesn't change its spots.

“This is theater. Investigations are already ongoing. OIG has been looking into this for some time.”

OIG investigations can only recommend that DOJ initiate actual criminal investigations ... pretty much the same thing Graham is requesting ... AND so far, jack has come of the last OIG investigation ...

You’d think Justice Roberts would be all over this.

Huber must have some things in the pipeline by now.

I read here yesterday that Huber has not interviewed scores of key figures in the Spygate matter. There's little to no evidence that he has done anything in the way of investigations into this scandal.

"Huber is a fraud and has done nothing."

You don't know a thing about what he has done or not done. Please attempt to prove me wrong!

If the special council is headed by Matthew G. Whitaker, then I’m good with that : )

Just get a warrant to unseal the FISA signatures. Can anyone do that? It was illegal in the first place was it not? NY Times had it on the front page. The fake Mueller probe should unravel this thing. Of course Hillary, Smollet and the rest are too big to go to prison. Right? Tired of probes. Take the head shot.

Lindsey is no longer under the spell of McCain.

Well, he had a hearing supporting 'red flag' laws yesterday, so he must be an idiot without McCain's assistance.

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.

^^^ THAT ^^^

YOU are in agreement with Devin Nunes....the criminal referals are being prepared, to go to AG Barr. DOJ can investigate.

Sorry, Linda....no more Special Counsels. We're done.

Continue to drag things out with no oversight, budget or time constraints. What could go wrong this time?

I know we’ve been over this before but I guess I’ll have to share again.

Please explain how Gowdy in your words “theatre?” The oft tiring “all bark no bite” moniker I’m beginning to believe is utilized by those having hissy fits over trying to remember how our government works. Here’s a reminder

It’s not Gowdy’s job as a Congressman to get results, indict, convict, render verdict, sentence, transport to prison or act as warden. I’m weary to death when this topic continuously comes up. His job is to investigate, question, pass laws, and oversight. Trump can thank the heavens for Gowdy the “theatre” guy you speak about. It was Gowdy and his Benghazi committee that uncovered Hillary’s secret server which gave Trump an ENORMOUS hammer in which to bash Hillary on all throughout the election. This point was key in getting Trump elected.

Beyond that more than enough evidence was discovered and uncovered during his investigation that a junior prosecutor straight from college would have gotten indictments. He took his case nightly before the cameras to wake up a sleeping, ignorant public in order to apply pressure to the Executive branch to bring charges.

But no, folks around here expected an all Democratic administration including AG to fire up those Grand Juries and take Hillary to task. Get real. But low and behold we now have and have had an AG under this administration that is a republican administration and that evidence that Gowdy uncovered didn’t magically vanish into fairy dust. Now go bark up the right tree....that would be THIS ADMINISTRATION and it’s INEPT DOJ. They seat Grand juries, they indict, they try. That IS NOT Congress’ job
