Sen. Lindsey Graham: We Need Another Special Counsel, This Time To Probe The FBI

Emily Zanotti

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) held a press conference Monday to announce that he will be seeking an official investigation into the FBI’s handling of both the probe into Hillary Clinton’s misuse of classified email, and the Obama-era directive that allowed the FBI to obtain secret FISA warrants.

The Hill reports that, following revelations in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Graham is concerned that the Obama Administration allowed blatant abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and that the so-called “Steele Dossier” — now completely discredited — was used to obtain FISA warrants to wiretap key Trump aides Carter Page and Paul Manafort, who, Mueller now reports, did not attempt to collude with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.
