Graham: I'm Not Buying That The Clinton Email Investigation Was On The Up And Up
Argues IG Report Shows Inherent Bias Led to Description of Clinton’s Behavior as Careless Instead of Criminal
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today questioned the Inspector General (IG) of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Michael Horowitz and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Christopher Wray on the IG’s findings regarding conduct within DOJ and FBI leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Specifically, Graham focused on released text messages between two FBI agents, Peter Strzok, the effective head of the Clinton email investigation, and Lisa Page. The pair exhibited extreme bias against then-candidate Donald J. Trump in communications on official FBI devices. Graham argued this bias led to the decision to not hold Hillary Clinton criminally liable, as a way to keep her in the running for president. Clinton was the preferred candidate of Strzok and Page, and other FBI agents.
