Graham backs off FBI criticism

[kpete]

Graham said he was briefed by the FBI’s associate director, who called to address some of the concerns the senator has raised about the investigation into the Boston bombers.

Graham said after receiving a tip from Russian officials in November 2011, the FBI conducted an extensive check into Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s background.

“According to the FBI, they took the report from the Russians seriously,” Graham said.
They interviewed family, friends, co-workers and classmates, Graham said. At that time, the FBI also identified a domestic violence complaint against him.

“I was pretty impressed with what they did,” Graham said of the FBI.

1. The Flying Monkey Brigade and fellow believers in the Wing Nut Brigade...

will remember and quote his criticism from now until the end of earth. It's a much better strategy than acknowledging, "Lindsey just doesn't know wtf he's talking about."

[Wait Wut]

2. K&R for...

...an enormous ass.

Graham, not you, kpete.

3. Good

but that, sadly, probably won't stop him from spouting off next time............

4. With domestic violence charge on his record would have prevented him from purchasing

Weapons if those like Graham had voted for background expansion.

5. Does Liberty Leading the People have BOTH boobs exposed?

I thought it was just one....I'll google and get back to you...

6. I just checked...

Yes.

7. Bombs not OK, but they can have guns!!!!!

However, Graham, who has been a staunch supporter of gun rights during recent Senate debate, said someone who is added to a watch list should still be able to buy a gun.

8. Mr. Graham

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. Why don't you just shut your pie hole until you actually know what the hell you are talking about next time? Make that all the time.

9. As long as Lindsey gets his face on Sunday news shows,

he could give a rat's as whether he slanders the FBI. What a headline mongering worm he is.

the RETRACTION is never on page one!
