Lindsey Graham is back at it again, using his position as chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee to try and run defense for his buddy Donald Trump.

One day after a judge ruled that former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort violated his plea agreement when he lied to federal agents, Graham announced he’s going to conduct an investigation into a conspiracy theory surrounding former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Trump and his defenders on Fox News have tried to claim that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant used to wiretap Page — an energy consultant who has documented Russian ties and has given bizarre interviews on cable news — is evidence of some kind of bias against the Trump campaign by the FBI.

And now Graham is reopening that ridiculous conspiracy in yet another attempt to get the attention off of Trump.

Graham is hinging the investigation on an interview former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe gave to CBS’ 60 Minutes, in which McCabe revealed that he was concerned Trump or other officials in Trump’s orbit would try to shut down the Russia investigation to cover up their efforts to collude with Russia during the 2016 campaign.

“After Mr. McCabe’s 60 Minutes interview, it is imperative that he, and others, come before the Senate Judiciary Committee to fully explain how and why a FISA warrant was issued against Carter Page and answer questions about what appears to be, now more than ever, bias against President Trump,” Graham said in the statement.
