Graham: McCabe and Comey need to be worried

Graham: DoJ’s IG Report Not an ‘Adequate Substitute’ for Special Counsel — McCabe, Comey Need to Be Worried

BREAM: OK. So let me ask you, there’s a lot of speculation about the inspector general report coming out within days, potentially. Do you think it’s going to answer questions, give people clarity on certain issues and different key players or do you think it’s going to provoke a whole another round of speculation?

GRAHAM: I don’t think the inspector general’s report is an adequate substitute for a special counsel to look at whether or not the Department of Justice improperly obtained a FISA warrant by using a paid informant by the Democratic Party, a foreign agent to go to Russia and collect the information against candidate Trump. I don’t believe the FBI inspector general can tell us all we need to know about the FBI agents in charge of the Clinton e-mail investigation because he doesn’t have access to all the witnesses. I’m sure he’ll do a good job. But how does Rosenstein make a good decision about whether or not there should be a special counsel looking at DOJ corruption, FBI misdeeds, if he, in fact, he was one of the people asking for the FISA warrant? I don’t know how in the world he has an object to view this because he was one of the people asking in the court to issue the warrant.

BREAM: Who do you think should be worried about this upcoming I.G. report?

GRAHAM: I think the top level of the FBI. I think McCabe needs to be worried. I think Comey needs to be worried, I think these two FBI agents who were in the tank for Clinton and hated Trump needs to be worried. And at the end of the day, what we — what have we found is that the two FBI agents involved in looking at the Clinton e-mail investigation had a thumb on the scale. For Clinton against Trump. We also see a warrant being issued by Federal Court based in a dossier prepared by a foreign agent paid for by the Democratic Party. He used to obtain a warrant against Carter Page who was part of the Trump campaign, and Rosenstein was in that chain of events. Let Mueller do his job but for god sakes, there’s not one Democrat in the country worried about the FISA abuse here, there’s not one Democrat worried about the fact that two FBI agents in charge of the investigation clearly were in the tank for the person they were investigating?

This was a major civil rights violation at the least. But don't expect civil libertarians like EAllusion to speak up based on principle.

He used to obtain a warrant against Carter Page who was part of the Trump campaign, and Rosenstein was in that chain of events.

Rosenstein is a Republican, and he was appointed by Trump to serve as DAG. The surveillance of Carter Page didn't begin until after Page left the Trump campaign.

Sept. 23, 2016: The Trump campaign denies Page was ever part of the campaign. “Mr. Page is not an adviser and has made no contribution to the campaign,” campaign spokesperson Jason Miller said. “He’s never been part of our campaign. Period.” The statement comes as Yahoo News reports that a U.S. intelligence probe was trying to determine if Page had “opened up private communications with senior Russian officials — including talks about the possible lifting of economic sanctions if the Republican nominee becomes president.”

Sept. 26, 2016: Page himself announces he is taking “a leave of absence” from the campaign, saying the reporting on his remarks has created a “distraction.”

Oct. 21, 2016: Nearly a month after the Trump campaign says Page was never part of the campaign, the FBI seeks and receives a FISA court order to begin surveillance on Page. The order is renewed at least three more times over the next year, meaning that the FBI is able to convince the judges that surveillance continues to provide assistance to investigators. The Wall Street Journal reported that all of the judges who approved the orders were appointed by Republicans.

Feb. 16, 2017: Trump denies he ever met Page. “I don’t think I’ve ever met him,” he told reporters at a news conference. “And he actually said he was a very low-level member of, I think, a committee for a short period of time. I don’t think I ever met him. Now, it’s possible that I walked into a room and he was sitting there, but I don’t think I ever met him. I didn’t talk to him, ever.”

Graham’s hair on fire spin of the facts is pretty breathtaking. He knows the facts and he knows there is no evidence of FISA abuse. Just one more republican selling his soul to protect Trump.
