Senators Trash Graham's Plan To Revive Probe Of 'Her Emails'

Trump ally and golf buddy Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is being mocked for his plans to use the Senate Judiciary Committee to settle old scores and abuse his power by investigating Hillary Clinton.

Graham only recently became the chairman of the committee. And rather than investigate the wide array of scandals that have surfaced involving Trump, Trump’s henchman, the Trump family, and other Republicans, Graham said he wants to investigate Clinton’s email server and the decisions that led the FBI to investigate Trump campaign aides like Carter Page.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) laughed about Graham’s plot, saying Graham was trying to relive the “thrilling days of yesteryear.”

“Instead of taking a look at the current issues, Lindsey Graham wants to go back and answer important questions about the Bermuda Triangle and Hillary Clinton,” he told The Hill.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R) suggested the Graham-chaired committee should “investigate Benghazi some more too,” referencing the endless investigations Republicans instigated as part of a campaign to smear Clinton.

Because I don't think he is playing with a full deck.

6. Why? I'd ask Graham what new evidence has surfaced that 4 years and tens of millions of wasted $$$

Didn't uncover in the first place.

For them, investigations are theater and their voters are content with fiction.
