Graham: Its Stunning That Comey Acted On Fake Russian Intel In 2016
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called it stunning that former FBI Director James Comey would publicly discussed his findings in the Hillary Clinton email probe as a result of Russian intelligence that Comey knew to be false.
I cant imagine a scenario where its OK for the FBI director to jump in the middle of an election based on a fake email generated by the Russians and not tell the Congress, Graham said Sunday on CNNs State of the Union.

(7,539 posts)Occasionally Graham holds semi-coherent viewpoints like an old-school Republican who cares about others and human decency, but this gives me pause. Is he trying to pre-discredit Comey so they can use the "Well, he did this wrong and lied about this, so how can you take *anything* he says seriously?" defense?
