Graham is right in the middle of the low-infomation, know-nothing GOP propaganda machine.

Look at this interview with corrupt liar and propagandist Hewitt:

:vomit:

HH: Last night, Trey Gowdy and Bob Goodlatte sent a letter to the Attorney General of the United States asking for a special counsel on the FISA deal. Robert Mueller can’t handle it, because it’s his buddy, Comey, who’s involved in it. You have sent a letter with Charles Grassley. Now, we’ve got four senior members of the Republican Congress. Why will the Attorney General not do the obvious thing?

LG: I think probably Sessions had to recuse himself from even making this decision, because you’re talking about investigation the campaign he ran against. It’s probably Rosenstein who should make this decision. I can’t believe that we’re not going to have a special counsel in these circumstances. The Department of Justice and the FBI got off the rails. They can’t investigate themselves. The inspector general is a fine fellow, but he doesn’t have the institutional power really to do an investigation to deal with people who are not currently employed at the Department of Justice. If there was ever a moment for a special counsel, it is now.

HH: Well, Rod Rosenstein should be recused from this, too, because it goes to the conduct of the Department of Justice during his tenure as a member of the Department of Justice.

LG: Maybe so. Well, he was in the chain of reauthorizing the FISA warrants. I can’t stress this enough. Mr. Steele was a paid operative of the Democratic Party. Fusion GPS was being paid by the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign. He used his Russian sources, money given to him by the Democratic Party in America, to go out and dig up dirt on Trump. The dossier is totally unverified, and he had a political agenda. This is a dangerous precedent to set.

HH: Okay, last question on this…

LG: The FBI agents in charge hated Trump and skewed the investigation, I think, favorably to Clinton in terms of the email investigation.

HH: You just answered my last question, because that’s where it eventually goes, and that’s why there is reluctance to look back, because it will expose the Department of Justice in manifest ways.

LG: I think there was corruption at the Department of Justice in terms of handling the email investigation of Clinton.



Lie after lie in there.
