Sen. Lindsey Graham said Attorney General William Barr is "pretty upset" with how the FBI handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's unauthorized private email server.
During an interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," Graham, said he hopes Barr will appoint a special counsel to look into potential political bias.
"So it seems to me that she was interviewed not under oath. She had a couple of her staff people with her. People in her campaign were given immunity without anything in return. Nobody in the Clinton investigation went to jail for lying about the process because there was no process," Graham told host Maria Bartiromo.
"I know Bill Barr pretty well, and he's pretty upset about the way all this was handled," he added, noting he's not sure how Barr will act.
"I don't know if he's going to have a special prosecutor to look at the probability of criminal misbehavior," Graham said. "I'm going to look at what happened from an oversight role. But I hope there's a special counsel appointed to look at DOJ corruption and political bias, you know? Because Mueller did his job against Trump. Nobody's really looked at the Clinton campaign, the FISA warrant abuse or the counterintelligence investigation for criminality yet and somebody should."

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions quietly appointed Huber after the committees called for a review into whether Department of Justice or FBI employees were biased during their now-closed probe of Clinton's use of a private email server, and as they began investigating Trump campaign ties to Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
In addition to an investigation into the request for a warrant to surveil Trump campaign aide Carter Page, Huber is looking into whether the Department of Justice ignored allegations about Clinton's ties to the sale of U.S. uranium rights to a subsidiary of a Russian nuclear energy company. He was also reportedly investigating Clintons use of a personal email server and the dealings of her familys foundation.

(3,335 posts)can be that STUPID and make that many ERRORS on their application, unless you are lying about everything on your application. You'd have to work awfully hard to make that many mistakes. There's simply not enough questions to come up with that many errors. I have filled out many of those forms, and I never made a single mistake on one over the 30+ years I had to fill them out because I knew that the information I submitted was going to be verified. What could he have been thinking? That the FBI will just take his word for his responses? Or that they quit looking after five errors? And then after having made about a hundred mistakes on his original submission, he submitted two followup applications with more errors?
This is the guy Trump wanted to put in charge of the VA Hospital system, to bring peace in the Middle East, and a half dozen other issues that would take an army of people to tackle; and Trump chooses Jared who lied about just about everything on his application, that we can't even be certain that his name is actually Jared Kushner.

(9,114 posts)"Trump fired FBI Director James Comey yesterday supposedly for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email debacle. The White House said what Comey did was,
a textbook example of what federal prosecutors and agents are taught not to do.
...
Trump said the day after the now-ousted FBI directors announcement.
I respect the fact that Director Comey was able to come back after what he did
It took guts for Director Comey to make the move that he made in light of the kind of opposition he had where theyre trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. You know that. It took a lot of guts.
I was not his fan but Ill tell you what: What he did, he brought back his reputation. He brought it back.
...
But the fallout seemed to take the White House by surprise. Trump made a round of calls around 5 p.m., asking for support from senators. White House officials believed it would be a win-win because Republicans and Democrats alike have problems with the FBI director, one person briefed on their deliberations said. "

(2,957 posts)The FBI is famously conservative. The rest of the DOJ has been pretty neutral over the last 30 years or so.
The GOP is cherry-picking for any cases that happened to swing the Democrats' way so they can magnify them and try to force some pro-GOP structural changes in the DOJ.
This has to be fought tooth and nail by the Dems.

(33,643 posts)For fucks sake man, the IG has already investigated the investigators, at the request of YOU GUYS in Congress, found that there was no political bias in the Hillary email investigation!
And this asshole STILL won't let it go!
