Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the Justice Department needed to be investigated by a “second special counsel” over allegations of partisanship.
Graham said, “We need a second special counsel to look at the way the Department of Justice conducted themselves.”
He added, “I don’t think the Department of Justice can investigate themselves. Mr. Ohr, the number four guy at the Department of Justice, wife worked for Fusion GPS, the group that produced the dossier. Did Mr. Ohr interact with Mr. Steele? If he did, that’s a conflict of interest. During the time that Mr. Steele was being an informant for the FBI, we now know he was shopping the dossier to journalist outlets all over the world, which is inconsistent in my view with being a reliable informant.
“There’s a bunch of stuff about the Department of Justice, how they conducted themselves that need to be looked at just as much as Trump needs to be looked at,” he added. “I’m going to insist a special counsel look at these things?”
