<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Democrats got Robert Mueller to handle the Russia collusion allegations against Trump, and now Republicans want a special prosecutor to take a closer look at how the FBI handled the Hillary Clinton email probe. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The FBI and DOJ’s treatment of Hillary during the email probe differs dramatically from their treatment of Trump during his presidential campaign, insists Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC).</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">With the Russia investigation nearly over, it’s time Republicans got their chance. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“There’s more than smoking guns here. There’s overwhelming evidence that somebody outside the political system should look into,” said Graham, who on Thursday asked Congress for a special counsel to investigate “potential crimes” committed by the FBI and DOJ.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Graham’s suggestion follows the release of interview transcripts featuring former FBI agent Peter Strzok and his lover, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Both individuals</span><span class="s1"> played key roles in the email investigation and in launching the Russia probe. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">According to the transcripts, Strzok and Page were determined to keep Trump out of office and were considering impeachment as soon as he won the election. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">The DOJ must answer two questions, said Graham on Wednesday:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span class="s2">Did they stop the email probe because they wanted Hillary to win the election? </span></li>
<li><span class="s2">Did they launch the Russia investigation as insurance in case Trump won the election?</span></li>
</ol>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants testimonies from top DOJ officials. </span><span class="s1">“We’re going to call them all before the committee,” he said, </span><span class="s1">threatening to subpoena former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> “Did they take the law in their own hands? Did they abuse the FISA warrant process because they had a political agenda? Did their hatred of Trump go so far that they abandoned their role of being law enforcement agents and become advocates for a political cause? We’re going to get to the bottom of that.”</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Author’s Note: </span></strong><span class="s1">It seems pretty clear the FBI and DOJ were biased in favor of Hillary Clinton. And that&#8217;s an issue that needs sorting out much more than the Russia collusion </span><span class="s1">allegations against Trump, which are known to be false. </span></p>
