BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 03/30/19 06:00 AM EDT
Republicans are setting their sights on top Obama-era officials as they plan their own probe into the 2016 election.
Eager to move on from special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into Russian election interference and the Trump campaign, GOP senators are gearing up to investigate the investigators." The idea is gaining traction within the Republican caucus, including from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
Muellers report hasnt been released yet, but Republicans have seized on a four-page letter sent from Attorney General William Barr that summarized key conclusions of the two-year probe, including that Mueller did not establish that Trump or members of his campaign coordinated or colluded with Moscow in its election interference.
Republicans believe that the FBI and DOJ, the top people took the law in their own hands because they wanted Clinton to win and Trump to lose, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said during an interview with Fox Newss Neil Cavuto, as part of a media blitz discussing his plans for an investigation.
He said that he will be looking at abuse of the FISA warrant application process and the counterintelligence operation into Trumps campaigns, adding that there will be a lot of inquiry as to how this all happened.

(6,535 posts)it's obvious, really...they did it to force him to live in, for him, uncomfortable and sub-standard accommodations without even the basic comforts of gold toilets, and then to try to frame him so that they can illegally take control and force us all to live under a one-world government and take away our guns and bibles (and HRC is plotting all of this from her secret headquarters, in the sub-basement below the kiddie sex-torture dungeon that's under that pizza place, where she and George Soros indulge in "spirit cooking" and all sorts of devil-worshipping and nefarious plotting).
See, it totally makes sense.

(1,588 posts)they tried to tell everyone what was going on and they wouldn't listen. Go ahead. They couldn't understand what was going on with all the Russia communication so they were looking in to it as they should. Just as Lindsey Graham told John McCain to turn the Steele dossier over to the FBI when he first saw it.

Its all about the hatred of the much-loved black President and removing or destroying any programs and betterments that he accomplished. They have been driven to try and erase his administration because they are obsessed with only what a conservative white male can be credited with in history. Too late, assholes. Obama IS permanent history. His legacy LIVES on. With honor.
Its all about looking backwards to harass and bully and attack the strong woman who had the gall to be smarter and brighter and more accomplished than any of their skanky asses. She won the vote. History. Their insecure, shriveled manhood and bullshit bravado investigations will NEVER change those numbers. Never.
Its all about their pathetic lack of decency, character and morality. They are only succeeding in forever making their kind of repulsive, corrupt humanity attached to the Republican brand of hate, bigotry, racism and misogyny.
Their Senate leader is a treasonous obstructionist who flaunts the Rule of Law.
They stain this world. The head of their party is a twisted narcissistic lying wretch.
The Cretin DID lose the peoples vote. And they will NEVER get over it.
That is their history and all the backward outrage will never change one damn thing about their treachery.

(24,414 posts)has some of the worst priorities of anybody in the world- from vowing to investigate Airports because they won't house a Chick Fil-A restaurant to an actor whose charges of faking a hate crime got dropped to demanding the resignation of a Democratic chairman for doing nothing other than investigating completely legitimate concerns about foreign interference in a national election, and now seeking to investigate the former President for...........?????? And they call us deranged lunatics?
