.MaddowBlog: Ignoring Pres. Trump scandals, Sen. Graham eyes Republican conspiracy theory.
Ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Sen. Lindsey Graham talked openly about how much he was looking forward to becoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In fact, the GOP senator made no secret of how he intended to use his gavel, telling reporters about his questions about Hillary Clinton’s emails and Republican conspiracy theories about Carter Page.
He continued, “Accordingly, the Committee will continue to examine this Congress, as this Committee and several other congressional committees did last Congress, potential abuse of the FISA and investigation initiation processes with regard to Carter Page and others associated with the Trump campaign.”
The second angle of interest is the simple fact that conspiracy theories related to Carter Page have always been difficult to take seriously. No, “they” didn’t. Trump’s conspiracy theory is ridiculous, and this is probably the last hill Republicans should be willing to die on. It was the sort of thing that was likely to capture the interest of U.S. counter-intelligence officials – and that’s exactly what happened. In fact, Page was suspected as a possible agent of a foreign adversary.
