Graham: Its Stunning That Comey Acted On Fake Russian Intel In 2016

[turbinetree]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called it “stunning” that former FBI Director James Comey would publicly discussed his findings in the Hillary Clinton email probe as a result of Russian intelligence that Comey knew to be false.

“I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s OK for the FBI director to jump in the middle of an election based on a fake email generated by the Russians and not tell the Congress,” Graham said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

1. He reminds me so much of Inspector Javert in Les Miserables.

2. I wonder if he will throw himself in the river because once a spy always a spy

3. This raises my hackles.

Occasionally Graham holds semi-coherent viewpoints like an old-school Republican who cares about others and human decency, but this gives me pause. Is he trying to pre-discredit Comey so they can use the "Well, he did this wrong and lied about this, so how can you take *anything* he says seriously?" defense?

4. Yepper, spot on

he has in essence put party over country. The writing is on the wall, and now everyone in this jerks "republican party is trying provide cover, and then they have "reporters going around saying that this Kuscher character was naive and he didn't know, BS.
