Lindsey Graham looking to take over Judiciary Committee so he can investigate Hillary and the FBI: report

Buried deep in a New York Times profile on the emergence of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as a force within his own party comes an admission from the southern senator that he hopes to assume the chairmanship of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee should the GOP hold onto their majority.

According to the report, Graham has emerged as a “rock star” within the party after stealing the spotlight with his angry diatribes during the Senate’s Supreme Court hearings on controversial Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

With that increased influence comes a desire for more, with Graham hoping current Judiciary Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) will opt to move to head the equally powerful Finance Committee. Graham is next in line to grab the Judiciary gavel. According to the Times, Graham has expressed an interest in using his potential newfound power to launch yet another investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The reports states, “[Graham] said as well that he wants to become chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee after the election, if the current chairman, Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, grabs the gavel of the Finance Committee. Should that happen, he said, he would initiate an oversight investigation into whether the Department of Justice and the F.B.I. were ‘in the tank’ for Mr. Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, joining similar efforts in the House.”

Should Grassley stay put, there have been rumors that Graham would replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who is expected to either step down or be fired by President Donald Trump after the midterms. Graham’s Senate seat then could open up for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who recently stepped down as the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.

1. Sounds like LG got a tall glass of QUID PRO QUO.

Just like we knew he would. Like we're all just a bunch of rubes and didn't see that coming right??

2. If they do you should go for it Lindsey. Hillary will make you look like the fool you are.

Did you learn nothing from your other hearings into Hillary that went nowhere? Rock star my ass.

4. Never mind the cost....we don't need healthcare.

Spend away.

[Autumn]

7. Funny how the deficit doesn't matter to them when it comes to their tax breaks

but healthcare and taking care of the poor cost too much. Just like the Russia investigation costs too much and takes too long but they can haunt Bill and Hillary Clinton for years and it's not long enough, they always find something else to investigate. Lindsey is the biggest asshole hypocrite in the world.

10. Who knew Lindsey would be so starved for a new BFF he'd sell his soul.

I rarely agreed with him in the past, but I never thought he was off his rocker until his Trump love set in.

11. Get them the F OUT of the Senate!

12. If the Justice Dept and the FBI were in the tank for Hillary, she'd be President now, not Trump.

Comey would have never done what he did at the last moment had the DOJ or FBI been in the tank for Hillary. In fact it was just the opposite. There were so many at the DoJ and FBI that didn't like Hillary that the former mayor, Guliani was stoking the flames over at some hangout for Former Disgruntled FBI agents who hated the Clintons and Comey was walking a tightrope trying to appease this bunch because he knew he had no case against Hillary regarding the server bullshit.
