I think everybody in the country needs to know if it happened, Graham told anchor Margaret Brennan. Its stunning to me that one of the chief law enforcement officers of the land- the acting head of the FBI- would go on national television and say, Oh by the way I remember a conversation with the deputy attorney general about trying to find if we could replace the president under the 25th Amendment. Were a democracy. People enforce the law cant take it into their own hands. And was this an attempted bureaucratic coup? I dont know. I dont know whos telling the truth. I know [former Deputy Attorney General Rod] Rosenstein vehemently denied it but were going to get to the bottom of it.
Graham added, I do know there was a lot of monkey business about FISA warrants being issued against Carter Page, about dossiers coming from Russia that were unverified. Mr. Mueller is going to look at the Trump campaign as he should to see if they violated any laws during the 2016 election. And Im going to do everything I can to get to the bottom of the Department of Justice FBI behavior toward President Trump and his campaign.
When Brennan asked if Graham was concerned about harming the FBIs credibility with his accusations, the South Carolina Republican insisted that he was only strengthening the bureau.
The FBI has gotten off track in the past, Graham told Brennan. Its one of the greatest organizations in the world. The Hoover years have proven to be pretty dark periods for the FBI. The latter part of the Hoover days where politicians were being blackmailed. There is no organization beyond scrutiny. There is no organization that cant withstand scrutiny. And the FBI will come out stronger.

He's a clown, and not a very good one.

(111,089 posts)He was very critical of Trump in the early days of his presidency and the late days of his campaign. He did not think Trump was a very stable person. What changed for Lindsey? When did Trump become the strong stable leader he considers him to be today?
