A Lindsey Graham sighting!!
Let's see what that cue card says :
ALL THE RIGHTS GIVEN TO CLINTON DURING IMPEACHMENT
1.) House Debate to Vote on Inquiry - A courtesy not required or specified. The Democrats have a clear majority and none are calling for the inquiry to end. Irrelevant.
2.) Defined Scope of Inquiry - We don't know what the scope should be because the accused party is refusing to cooperate.
3.) Members can see evidence - The investigation is being carried out by two bipartisan committees made up of senior members of both parties.
4.) President's counsel can attend - The President is refusing the cooperate with the investigation. He's refusing to turn over evidence requested and attempting to order witnesses not to testify.
5.) Specific rules for investigation - ???
6.) Allowed to challenge evidence - The evidence is still being collected and is all reviewed by two bipartisan committees.
7.) Minority given Supoena Power - The minority party again is part of the two committees and have signed off on the current subpoenas.
Graham : "NONE OF THAT EXISTS TODAY"
