Graham to start hearings on Russia probe, Flynn in June

Source: The Hill

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Thursday that the Senate Judiciary Committee will start hearings in June on the FBI's investigation into Russian election interference and President Trump's campaign.

Graham said in a statement that the hearings will deal with the Justice Department's decision to drop its case against former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn, the warrant applications against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and if former special counsel Robert Mueller should have been appointed.

“The Judiciary Committee will begin holding multiple, in-depth congressional hearings regarding all things related to Crossfire Hurricane starting in early June," Graham said.

Graham previously told The Hill that he would start holding public hearings in June, with the goal of putting out a report by October.

People are now concerned about the deaths, the millions sick. They have no interest in Lindsey’s warmed over conspiracy. They want to know what is being done about protecting us from the coronavirus.

I think that his so called "investigation" will show nothing on Trump, and in fact will falsely show massive bullshit involvement by the Dem's and Hillary in corrupting the voting, including collusion with the Russians......

Maybe this will be their 2020 nefarious "October Surprise"........

The RepubliCONS are busily trying to falsely establish ways to overthrow the election should Trump miraculously lose the election. "Democrats Corrupted The Election" therefore allowing BARR/DOJ to award the election to Trump, and backed up by the Supreme Court like they did in the 2000 election.....

And incidentally, prosecutorial misconduct was an issue in his conviction for failing to report gifts. AG Holder's DOJ dismissed the convictions, and the order was accepted in the court room of, and signed by, Federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan.

There are Democrats on the committee. They will go to the FULL list of things he did, not just the one thing he pled guilty to in the plea bargain. Opening up the Flynn story and the conspiracy theory are an indication of how completely desperate Trump is.

Damn it. People are dying, people have no jobs or food.

One trick pony. Please make a commercial of this. Trump wants this, because viagra doesn’t work anymore.

Will all witnesses testify under oath?
Will he call Obama?
Will we get to see unredacted documents?
Will we get to see Trumps tax returns to see if he has any Russian loans?
Will we get to see the notes from Trump and Putin's first meeting that the translator took?
Will we get to see if Trump has sold lots of high-priced condo units in his buildings to Russia-fronted companies?
Will we get to see Trump's phone call log (from his unsecured phone)?
Will we get to see Trump's kids email lists (probably from unsecured servers)?

...and on and on it goes....
