Graham threatens to pull Pelosi into torture probe

Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), an influential Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has threatened to call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) before the Senate for an investigation of abusive interrogation techniques used during the Bush administration.

“I don’t want to retry Nancy Pelosi — that’s not my goal — but if you’re going to accuse these people in the Bush administration of being evil and committing a crime, then if she was told about , I want to know what she was told,” Graham said during a break in a hearing on Bush-era interrogation practices.

Graham spoke to reporters during a Judiciary subcommittee hearing titled “What Went Wrong: Torture and the Office of Legal Counsel in the Bush Administration.”

1. I want anyone who knew anything about torture to be tried.

[pleah]

2. So, let the pissant do it.

If she is innocent, fine, if she is guilty, so be it.

4. Here Here!!!!

6. I Agree: Hear! Hear!

3. "'...then if she was told about , I want to know what she was told,' Graham said"

So, ask her questions behind closed doors without putting her under oath, right, Senator? That's the way it works with you, isn't it?

Or is transparency all the rage now in DC?

5. "I don’t want to retry Nancy Pelosi "

Retry? When was her first trial?

7. Bring it. nt

8. Good! Let's get Pelosi out of the goddamn way.

She knew things that make her complicit. She's been obstructing efforts to bring justice for far too long. Pelosi can go down with the rest of the criminals.

Nancy Pelosi is scum.
