New tensions are flaring on the Senate Judiciary Committee over plans by newly minted Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to dig into Obama-era scandals.
Graham, a close ally of President Trumps, has outlined several areas he wants to probe now that he has the Judiciary Committee gavel.
They include the FBIs handling of its investigation into Hillary Clintons private email server and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications targeting former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), asked about Grahams plans, started laughing and compared them to the thrilling days of yesteryear.
This is going to be like the History Channel it turns out. Instead of taking a look at the current issues, Lindsey Graham wants to go back and answer important questions about the Bermuda Triangle and Hillary Clinton, Durbin told The Hill.
Durbin said he was concerned about Grahams plans but quipped that you know there is that question about Jimmy Carter which he probably wants to ask.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), another member of the panel, said maybe Graham should investigate Benghazi some more too an apparent reference to a years-long House probe that Democrats considered a political stunt.
Grahams plans come while tensions on the panel linger from the deeply partisan fight over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaughs confirmation.
Graham won praise from conservatives during that battle, when he exploded at Democrats during the hearing and accused them of trying to destroy this guy's life after sexual assault allegations surfaced against Kavanaugh.
etc...
I say let’s poke that hornets nest. I’m game.
Poke it? How about hit it with a baseball bat?
Best defense is an offense.
True in the military and in politics.
Go get ‘em, Lindsay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The FISA warrants are hardly old news.
...and yet the Democrats had no problem going back 30 years to examine unsubstantiated charges from a party that Brett Kavanaugh may or may not have attended when he was in high school.
Let’s not forget the investigation of farts in a yearbook.

Probably be a good idea.
We still don’t know exactly what happened.
Take a look back through ALL of the cr@p the Clintons have BOTH gotten away with, and it’s just astounding!
But they’re ALWAYS out front with the, ‘That’s OLD news’ gambit.
I sure wish our side was HALF as smart as they are!
A suggestion, arrange the inquiries in order based on when the statute of limitations kick in. We absolutely cannot let these criminals get away.
Lindsey
Graham
ping!
Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.
“Graham, a close ally of President Trumps”
like the sudden collapse of the Soviet Empire, thought I never live to see a statement like the above ... but both events have made me REALLY, REALLY, REALLY happy!
Lindsey,
If you get an invite for a picnic at Ft. Marcy Park, DON’T GO!
It’s a TRICK!
Lookout Linda.....the LEFTISTS WILL EXPOSE YOU!! Your ONLY DEFENSE WILL BE TO BE CLOSER TO TRUMP!!
LOL exactly
Use a drum of Tannerite on it, if only to see what shakes loose.
Not fresh news like Kavanaughs high school days!
That would blow it up real good!
sauce for the goose, **tches.
Faking Reports so you can target and remove a President ?
Wondering how much support Lindsey will have from other Republicans on the committee? Hell need it to accomplish what needs to be done.
