(CNN)Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that he will investigate how the FBI handled the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 elections and Hillary Clinton's email controversy if he becomes chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Totally," the South Carolina Republican told CNN when asked if he would look into the FBI's handling of those probes. "The oversight function will be very much front and center."

Graham has been a longtime critic of the FBI's handling of those investigations -- and has called for a second special counsel to investigate what happened. And if Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley steps aside from running the Senate Judiciary Committee to chair the Senate Finance Committee, as is widely expected, Graham would be poised to run the powerful panel that oversees the FBI.

Graham's comments are the latest sign that the Senate GOP will be a counterbalance of sorts to House Democrats, who plan to end the House Republican probe into the FBI and launch a flurry of new investigations in their new majority next year.

[CatMor]

6. The question remains ....

[UpInArms]

[Danascot]

34. Something the new House should investigate, no?

What happened to Graham? Because something definitely did.

[CatMor]

36. Yes it did ...

he started bowing down to trump right after his first visit to Mar A Lago and a round of golf. Something definitely took place on that visit.

[Racerdog1]

9. Aunt Lindsey

Just trying to stay relevant. Fucking little weasel is a sad pathetic creature. Get your nose out of tRumps ass moron.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. We must investigate the investigation into the investigation of the Russia investigation...

immediately!

[KPN]

[exboyfil]

11. There is a US Attorney alredy

assigned to look at Hillary Clinton - John Huber.

Why doesn't some reporter ask about this when he bloviates.

[FM123]

13. "Like totally? Fer sure!"

[PatSeg]

What on earth does Putin have on him?

32. Well, honorary anyway. nt

[Botany]

16. Graham says he will investigate Hillary Clinton's email controversy

ATTN Lindsey G. the only controversies as per HRC's emails is that the
republicans made one up and Russia stole them and then fed them to
wikileaks which edited them and sent them onto the GOP/Fox News/Trump.


Hillary Clinton's email controversy

[True_Blue]

17. Compromised!

I'm glad McCain can't see what a traitor his good friend turned out to be.

[Zipgun]

18. The house needs to investigate HIM.

Either he is compromised by Russia or he is so weak and easily lead that with out McCain he has lost any resemblance to having a spine.

[KPN]

33. THIS!

[neohippie]

19. I guess he forgot

Lindsay must have forgotten that he was going to hold the Saudi's accountable for murdering a journalist who was living in the US to seek asylum, as a refugee from their abusive power, they straight up murdered him and Trump and Graham both seem willing to overlook that

[keithbvadu2]

20. After he gets over the vapors

[True Blue American]

21. Bless his heart!

[Botany]

24. Lindsey is gonna have to retire to his fainting couch w/an attack of the vapors

BTW Do you remember the Lindsey Graham/Lara Logan's made up 60 minutes piece on Benghazi.

[True Blue American]

37. Missed that

But nothing surprises me about Lindsey, a poor excuse of a man. If McCain can see him he would be pretty disguted with him .

I still remember him at a Town Hall about Health care telling people he would vote the way he wanted to.

[Botany]

39. Lindsey helped Lara Logan make up a faked 60 minutes piece using a "witness*" to whip up ...

.... a story that was not true about Benghazi in order to undermine President Obama
and Sec. of State Clinton. After Logan ran her fake piece on 60 minutes Lindsey
sited that story the next day on the floor of the senate.


* who wasn't there and that the FBI had told Graham that the witness was not
credible

I don't care about Lindsey's private life but I do care that he is such a little un-American
shit.

[True Blue American]

40. Sae here

His private life is none of my business, unless Putin is blackmailing him, then it wuld be. The blackmail part. Something is wrong with Lindsey. He is like a cat on a hot tin roof. He has always been a sniveling character but is now much worse.

Thanks for the reminder of that story.

[ananda]

22. Isn't that precious? Of course he will ....

..

[SayItLoud]

23. Graham has something to hide, maybe it's in his closet or

the Russians know something. I'm quite sure he will be mentioned in the Mueller report at some point.

[sdfernando]

30. They probably have video

Of him in a dog collar and re-enacting scenes from Deliverance.....some people say.

[stopbush]

25. Aww. Does wittle Lindsey have a poopy tRump-loving diaper?

[wishstar]

27. This is the only way Repubs can justify and keep alive their "Lock her up" mantra with base

Since their accusations against Hillary fell apart they are desperate to keep feeding the anti-Hillary propaganda to the base to prop up the rightwing conspiracies. Otherwise, rightwingers might question why after 2 years of totally Repub leadership, and next 2 years of Repubs controlling Senate, nothing is being done to investigate Hillary while instead Trump and gang are being investigated, indicted and prison sentences imposed or looming. Hard to explain their claims of wrongdoing by Clinton and that she would have been worse than Trump unless Graham can keep up the charade going into 2020.

[Doodley]

28. He just feeds Fox News propaganda that Clinton or Obama are worse than Trump.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. He'll Be Hot On This, Until His Name Comes Up In Another Investigation

Then, investigations will be a bad thing.

[StevieM]

38. Hard to believe that he and Hillary were once friends. He has changed so much. (eom)

[Javaman]

41. I totally got this!
