Lindsey Graham calls for DOJ to investigate ‘the Biden-Ukraine connection’

WaEx:

Sen. Lindsey Graham called on the Justice Department to investigate “all things Ukraine” Sunday amid controversy about a secretive whistleblower complaint likely regarding a phone call between President Trump and Ukraine’s president.

The South Carolina Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said he was, “hoping that the Department of Justice will look at the Biden-Ukraine connection the way that we looked at Trump-Russia connection” in a Fox News interview, and called for DOJ to appoint an investigator.

The Biden camp countered that Shokin was widely seen by the U.S. and Europe — and inside Ukraine — as ineffective, corrupt, and a hindrance to Ukraine’s progress. Ukraine’s parliament removed Shokin in 2016. more

    Despite not speaking the language, knowing the law, having the background or having anyexperience, he can now under $50k a month while cheating on his wife and plowing his dead brother’s widow.

    Nothing “salacious” to report here, Shep.
