Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News on Thursday that now that special counsel has been appointed to investigate alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Congress should abandon their own investigations and go back to focusing on former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons emails.
I dont know what caused the appointment. I havent seen any evidence of a crime yet. The bottom line is I respect the decision, but this pretty much shuts Congress down, Graham said. Democrats, you got what you wanted. You got a special counsel. Now well just move on. Were not prosecutors.
That doesnt mean, however, that Graham thinks all of Congress investigations should stop.
Theres a new front opening here. I have reason to believe that there are emails between Clinton campaign officials, democratic operatives to the Department of Justice regarding the Clinton email investigation that happened on Obamas watch. I have reason to believe those emails exist, Graham said. Im on the Judiciary Committee. And I think its important that the Judiciary Committee be given any emails that were directed to the Department of Justice by Clinton campaign officials or operatives because we have jurisdiction over the Department of Justice.

There are so many things we could focus on rather than whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

The American people will not stand to have Hillary Clinton attacked by the "likes" of Old man Graham.

Heard them on FOX talking about how much more class Melania has over Michelle...the WTFs just rolled off my tongue. I never saw a nude photo of Michelle, nor do I remember Michelle plagiarizing Melania's speeches. I guess the white skin makes her classier like the orange skin makes Trump classy.
