    Default McCain "info will lead to Rusian scandal"-Graham wants "all things Russian"

    indsey Graham lacks the resources and access that the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have to investigate Russia’s meddling in the presidential election.

    But his Senate Judiciary subcommittee has something the intelligence panels don’t: a Republican chairman viewed not as a Donald Trump ally but as a fierce critic, who has no qualms with bucking party leaders to unravel the mystery of Russia’s interference in the election.

    Graham and his Democratic partner, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, will seize the spotlight Wednesday during a public hearing on Russia’s election interference, to be held by Graham’s Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, which has jurisdiction over the FBI.

    Graham and Whitehouse plan to use their perch to help ensure the public gets a full accounting of Russia’s intrusion and any possible ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

    The bipartisan duo already has its first target: getting the FBI to clear up Trump’s claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower in the run-up to the 2016 election. They sent a letter last week to the Justice Department asking it to turn over information that would confirm or refute Trump’s accusation — including warrant applications and court orders. The House Intelligence Committee is seeking the same information and so far neither has been unable to shake it loose.

    Politics
    Why Trump's prosecutor purge could haunt the GOP

    By Daniel Strauss

    Graham suggested Tuesday there would be consequences if the FBI continues stonewalling Congress — and said he plans to make an announcement at the start of the hearing on Wednesday warning the bureau to comply.

    “If they don't honor this request and give us an answer, then I would say that we need a joint select committee because the regular order is not working,” Graham told reporters. “They’re about to screw up big time if they keep running to the Intel Committee and not answer that letter.”

    Whitehouse appears more optimistic that he and Graham will get answers. In an interview with POLITICO, he said the senators got some clarity on the FBI probe after meeting with Comey privately earlier this month — the same day Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that he was recusing from any investigations involving Russia and the 2016 presidential campaign.

    “We said look, we’re going to go ahead with our hearing on the 15th, just let us know by then,” Whitehouse said, recalling the March 2 meeting with Comey. “I think he implicitly confirmed that they are looking at this and he said he’d get us a clearer explanation by [the Wednesday hearing]. That was satisfactory to both of us.”

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) indicated Tuesday he would not object if Graham’s panel decides to issue subpoenas to force the FBI to turn over the requested information.

    “Graham is involved in an investigation of this effort, and I would not try to direct him how to do that,” McConnell said. “The core of the investigation, as you know, and we’ve said repeatedly, is being done by the Intelligence Committee. I think they will pursue whatever angles they need to pursue to get to a conclusion.”

    In an interview, Whitehouse said there are key advantages to his joint investigation with Graham, more limited though it may be. For one, their subcommittee can operate in public, freed from the constraints of dealing with classified information. And the scope of their investigation is broader than it may appear at first blush, considering the FBI’s central role in federal probes looking into Russian connections.

    “I do think it’s important that there be a public effort so that people can understand that Congress is in fact doing its job, and there is a forum where an investigation or information that can be discussed publicly has its day,” Whitehouse said. “We have oversight over the FBI and the FBI is all over this. So wherever they can go, we can go.”

    Running against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, Graham called the real estate mogul a “jackass.” Since then, he has criticized Trump’s original travel ban executive order, blasted his overtures to Russia and slammed the administration’s proposed cuts to the State Department. At the same time, Graham praised Trump after having lunch with him last week and has backed Trump’s call for increased defense spending. Regardless, Graham is not up for reelection again until 2020, so he has no need to fear a primary challenge any time soon.

    For his part, McCain said he has a lot of trust in Graham and is glad Graham will have a role in investigating Russia’s election meddling.

    “I know that these kinds of — if the word is right, scandal — these kinds of investigations always lead to more information,” McCain said. “I just think there are more questions out there that haven't been answered.”

    talk about a couple of jackasses ..McCain is in search of that Russian scandal by the "murderous KGB thug" Putin
    and Graham thinks Trump is a "jackass" - but loves more and more defense spending -especially on Cold War 2.0

    Q.How can a public committee "shed more light" on Russian collusion if it can't do classified info?
    A. Because its a fishing exhibition designed to put Putin in the worse light to satisfy these Russian hysterical warpigs

    Indeed...since when does one's political adversaries predetermine one's guilt or innocence? Its simply more "wishful" thinking by the left than any reason other than hate to accuse someone of a non-existent crime. There has been an investigating ongoing for well over a year...and the findings? Nothing, ".....no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia." If Obama had anything other than accusations does anyone really believe that Mr. Trump would be in power as we speak?

    Fact: Every day this little voice from the Democrats in DC is getting smaller and smaller......Trump!!!! Trump!! Trump! Trump trump, now its a whisper, trumppppp guiltyyyyyyyyyyyyy We don't know of what yet..but give us time to see what sticks on the wall after we sling it. Mean while Trump just turns around from the attempted back biting and declares

    Doesn't Douchebag Donald want "more and more defense spending?" Does that make him a jackass?

    WHO IN THE FUCK DOESN'T KNOW THAT PUTIN IS A MURDEROUS THUG?
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    it does if it's for Cold War weapons systems. I'm fine with repairing the results of Sequestor -
    scrounging for AF parts in "boneyards"and increasing naval power.

    What we don't need is bullcrap like Obama's "European Reassurance Initiative" more tanks/personell/missiles
    etc pointed at each other in eastern Europe.
    That's what McCain and Graham want ( among more and more)

    Graham wants a showcase to punish Putin ( never mentioning NATO expansion or US meddling in the Ukraine)
    McCain is a frothing old man in search of a scandal

    what this is....a concerted effort to derail any attempt at a rapproachment with Russia.

    Clearly the MIC and the IC can't suck up enough Russiaphobia to satisfy themselves.
    For the MIC it's money -for the IC it's their raison d'etre.

    for the rest of us it's more mindless Cold war to nowhere -freezing in the bad relations established under Obama
    and putting aside any attempt to improve for doubling down on death
