At this point witness testimony is pretty tough to deny.

The DOJ effectively shut down the Clinton investigation. Graham wants to know why, which seems obvious, it was a political stunt to protect Hillary Clinton.

You Trump people pick a narrative and stick with it. It's similar to Russiagate... Trumpists developed an opinion on it over two years ago, and regardless of every new revelation of Russian contacts that were denied at the beginning of this, you guys still think it's a witch hunt started to try to take down a candidate/president.

DOJ did not shut down the Clinton investigation... it went on for over a year, a bunch of resources were committed to it, and if you actually listen to the people involved, it's understandable why they chose not to charge. Sure, disagree with the decision, but stop believing in debunked conspiracy theories.

Lose the idealized, school house rock image of government you've got stuck in your head. If we've learned anything from the accounts of careerism and shabby office affairs, it's that the FBI has no moral high ground. I'm not sure if you've ever worked in an office, but this crap is par for the course.

The idea that "gross negligence" is constitutionally vague, when Clinton's story is that she quite literally did not grasp what "C" meant, sounds like some sort of joke.

The DOJ didn't want to charge her, so they didn't.

I don't have a conspiratorial view of government. Republicans do. They see suspect behavior(IRS, Benghazi, Clinton email), then Congress and/or DOJ investigates, and if the findings absolve the people involved of criminal wrongdoing, you guys just stick your heads in the sand.

First, it was Obama's political hacks at DOJ who rigged the investigation and declined to charge. Now that Trump's appointees are at DOJ, you have to make up some fictional deep state that won't pursue the righteous prosecution of Hillary. It's honestly a little sad... even smart Republicans have become extremely detached from reality.

E - Speaking of DOJ treating the powerful with kid gloves... why hasn't the president been interviewed by the Special Counsel? He golfs every weekend... he should be able to sit down for 4 hours with Mueller. What about interviewing his kids? They were a part of the campaign.

Can't wait for the report to be released. Should be a fun read.

Don't see why Graham needs to halt this to open a new investigation into Clinton. If anything, if the information in this report further adds to an investigation against Clinton having any merit, isn't that all the more reason to get this shit into the public eye as fast as possible, so the public can demand that investigation?

The delay tactic makes zero sense.
