On Thursday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) postponed a vote to authorize subpoenas for more than 50 individuals pertaining the committees investigation into the Russia probe. The vote will take place next week.
Graham though, ripped the Democrats on the committee for not caring about FISA abuse, and said that there are “real good candidates for going to jail” pertaining to those who were involved.
“We’re going to do what this committee needs to do, and we’re going to fight it out and we’re going to vote. And we’re not going to be done today, so I don’t see a resolution this day, if you need to go somewhere go. … I think the best thing for us to do is [to] carry this over to next week so we can have a full discussion,” Senator Graham said.
He added that “we’ll get to [a] conclusion next week” on the subpoena vote.
The Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman’s decision came after Senator Ben Sasse complained that “committees are about people trolling for soundbites”.
“Can we get a sense of how long we’re going to be here?” Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) asked. “With all due respect, I don’t think anybody in private ever disagrees with me when I say that it’s bullshit the way people grandstand for cameras in here. The reality is if we didn’t have cameras in this room, the discussion would be different.”
