Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Monday that, now that the special counsel’s Russia investigation had wrapped up, his committee would be going full speed ahead in investigating the Justice Department for how it handled the Clinton email probe as well as for the warrants it obtained to surveil a former Trump campaign advisor in 2016.

At a press conference on Capitol Hill, Graham said he was satisfied with Attorney General Bill Barr’s assessment that there was not sufficient evidence to charge President Trump with obstruction of justice, and that his committee would not be relitigating that question based on what further information Congress receives from the Mueller report.

Graham said he was planning on speaking to Barr at noon Monday, and that he would ask Barr to appoint a second special counsel. Graham wants a special counsel to investigate how the FBI obtained surveillance warrants for ex-Trump advisor Carter Page and whether it made inappropriate political decisions based on a dossier indirectly financed by the Clinton campaign.

“What makes no sense to me is all of the abuse by the Department of Justice and the FBI — the unprofessional conduct, the shady behavior — nobody seems to thinks that’s much important,” Graham “Well, that’s going to change I hope.”

7. He's dumber than Trump's kids!!

Trump and his cabal do not want a special prosecutor looking at that dossier ... I've yet to see anything in it completely disproved. The closest was Cohen in or around Prague but it looks like Cohen's phone was if he wasn't - something like that.

I read somewhere recently that Steele claims to have a witness to the urinating prostitutes .... to back him up.

These idiots ought to shut up while they're ahead but i'd welcome them if they didn't.

10. Isn't Graham the moron who told John McCain to give the Dossier to the FBI? Is he delusional?

[DeminPennswoods]

11. Why, yes, yes he is.

Anyway, Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler and the House appropriators now hold DoJ's purse strings. Barr and company will have to decide if they want to indulge Lindsay or have enough money to run the department.

13. Is "Clinton Emails" Monty Python's "spam", but for the GOP?

"I want a bill to ban all abortion. And investigate the Clinton emails".
"Every schoolroom should have a sign saying 'In God We Trust'. And an investigation of the Clinton emails."
"God created the universe in six days. On the seventh, he investigated the Clinton emails".
"There is no man-made climate change, just Clinton emails that must be investigated".
