Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) hinted at further questioning of ex-FBI Director James Comey on Sunday after the attorney general released a summary of the key findings from special
counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. "Could not agree more. See you soon," the South Carolina lawmaker tweeted, sharing a tweet from Comey earlier in the day.
When asked for clarification on Graham's tweet, his office pointed The Hill to a letter from Graham to Barr about investigating a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant
obtained on Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser on Trump's campaign. Republicans have said the FISA warrant obtained on Page was an abuse of federal power, and based on
aulty evidence.
Among the evidence presented by the Justice Department for the warrant was a controversial dossier compiled in 2016 by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.
That dossier alleges ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, but has not been verified. The concerns over FISA are part of a larger effort by Republicans to argue that the Justice
Department made partisan decisions during the 2016 election, potentially to influence it.
I absolutely do not trust Graham to not make this an effort to discredit the investigation or deflect to Hilary. Comey has also been outwardly very critical of Trump, and may want to use this to make him seem biased in some way.
That's exactly what they're trying to do. They're backtracking down the rabbit hole, and trying to say the original warrant against Carter Paige was improper, partisan, and based solely on the Steele Dossier.

Wat
don't expect Graham to hold a position for more than 10 minutes, he's caught whatever Trump has infected the GOP with
Graham said McCain is “one of his best friends in life.”
Graham said Trump asked the South Carolina senator: “He really was your friend?”“
I said, ‘yeah, he really was my friend,'” Graham said.
What even is this question, the concept of genuine friendship must be foreign to Trump.
The prognosis for kompromat is not great.
the concept of friendship with Trump itself seems ridiculous, every Republican politician will say they are best friends with Trump and can't understand why everybody hates him, but they aren't because Trump wasn't in political circles until 3 years ago, and yet they pretend that he has been for a long long time.
Michel Cohen's testimony was golden, you had a congressman saying "I know him he's a great friend" to the guy who's actually been with trump for 10+ years
....honestly I'd expect him to throw his immediate family under the bus if it meant saving himself. Even his sons.
I hope to fuck they release the full report in detail. But a part of me is terrified now in how much the GOP and Trump are pushing the "THERE WAS NO COLLUSION" thing now. So even if that information does show up and does prove that he needs to get sacked. His cult of personality is going to go apeshit, and a part of me is thinking. That the GOP and Trump are banking on that idea.
That was Barr's plan with his so-called "summary". I said as much yesterday: get the lies out fast and early to taint public discourse and build up as much momentum with them as they can to try to barrel through the real report when it comes out.
I wanna enhanced interrogate Lindsey graham
