Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he believes the Senate Judiciary Committee should hold a hearing on the firing of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.

“I think we owe it to the average American to have a hearing in the judiciary committee where Attorney General Sessions comes forward with whatever documentation he has about the firing, and give Mr. McCabe the chance to defend himself,” Graham, a member of the panel, said on CNN’s “State of the Union."

“I believe when it comes to this issue we need as much transparency as possible to make sure it wasn’t politically motivated,” he added.

Sessions on Friday fired McCabe. President Trump, who has personally attacked McCabe in the past, quickly praised that decision on Twitter, accusing McCabe of corrupt tactics and calling his firing a "great day for Democracy."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday warned of the consequences for President Trump if he tries to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.

Graham was asked on CNN's "State of the Union" if he is worried Trump is preparing to order Mueller's firing.

"If he tried to do that, that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency, because we're a rule of law nation," Graham said.

Graham said Mueller is following the evidence where it takes him. "I think it's very important he be allowed to do his job without interference and there are many Republicans who share my view," Graham said.

1. Don't trust him. n/t

[FarPoint]

5. Ditto...

This is a Set-up to affirm that McCabe should of been fired.....

I don't even come close to trusting Graham. Never.

[duforsure]

2. coming from the guy saying nothing about this illegitimate president

Doing nothing about Russian Putin aggression threatening our nuclear power plants. Graham as much a fraud as he is.

[thucythucy]

3. He wants Sessions to "come forward" and testify?

The same Sessions who lied under oath about his contacts with the Russians?

Maybe Sessions should first "come forward" about his motivation for committing perjury. But I'm not going to hold my breath waiting.

4. Don't go away mad Graham, just go away!

Credibility and Graham are total strangers.

[RainCaster]

6. Much ado about nothing

The GOP isn't about to do anything that might upset the Cheeto Tweeter. Another limp dick proposal from the RW that will go nowhere.

[NCjack]

7. Lindseed Graham, Chair of the Senate Judiciary, should go ahead and schedule

that hearing. Oh, wait, Chuck Grassley is the chair. Guess that means no hearing. Sorry, Lindseed -- it sounded so good.

[oberliner]

8. Graham used to say it would "be the end" of his presidency

Now he is saying "the beginning of the end" for some reason.

9. Sure thing. Pass the ball to Schmuck Assly.

He'll work hard to see nothing.

10. Will McChinless allow it?

[Amaryllis]

11. He's still dissing the dossier.
