Graham: AG Barr Has Created a ‘Process’ to Let Giuliani Provide Biden Info to DoJ

EXCERPT:

MARGARET BRENNAN: You last time you’re on this program now in December, you said Giuliani should come to the Judiciary Committee with what he said was a suitcase full of documents he picked up in Ukraine on the Bidens. Are you saying you don’t want any part of this anymore?

SEN. GRAHAM: After talking to the attorney general and the intelligence chairman that any documents coming out of the Ukraine against any American, Republican or Democrat, need to be looked at by the intelligence services, who has expertise I don’t because Russia is playing us all like a fiddle. And Christopher Steele was played by the Russians that started the Russian investigation against President Trump. 

MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. 

SEN. GRAHAM: It was all garbage.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Are you saying Rudy Giuliani—

SEN. GRAHAM: I don’t want to do the same thing.

MARGARET BRENNAN: —Rudy Giuliani is getting played by the Russians? 

SEN. GRAHAM: I don’t know. I’m saying that the attorney—

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well it sounds like that’s what you’re suggesting.

SEN. GRAHAM: I’m saying that anybody who’s got any information coming from the Ukraine needs to turn it over to the intelligence community. As to Senator Schumer warning Parnas and the audience, if you don’t understand—

MARGARET BRENNAN: This is one of Rudy Giuliani’s business associates.

SEN. GRAHAM: Yes, crooked as snake—

MARGARET BRENNAN: —who’s been indicted.

SEN. GRAHAM: —facing indictment. So Schiff gets called by Russian hoaxster. I’ve got photos of President Trump in a compromised situation. To every American politician, you should be very cautious about receiving information coming out of the Ukraine—

MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.

SEN. GRAHAM: —and other countries that may be backed by Russian misinformation.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Does the president know that? Because he—

SEN. GRAHAM: I hope so. 

MARGARET BRENNAN: —apparently has continued to—

SEN. GRAHAM: Well, if he’s watching the show, here’s what I would tell the president. 

MARGARET BRENNAN: —believe that Ukraine had a role here. 

SEN. GRAHAM: I’m going to get to the bottom of the FISA work process because it was an abuse of power of the Department of Justice, the FBI. And we’re to make sure that Hunter Biden’s conflict of interest is explored because it’s legitimate. How could Joe Biden really fight corruption when his son sitting on the Burisma board?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Can you clarify? You said you talked to Attorney General Barr—

SEN. GRAHAM: This morning.

MARGARET BRENNAN: —this morning. Has the Department of Justice been ordered to investigate the Bidens?

SEN. GRAHAM: No. The Department of Justice is receiving information coming out of the Ukraine from Rudy—

MARGARET BRENNAN: Already?

SEN. GRAHAM: —to see. He told me that they’ve created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified. Rudy Giuliani is a well known man. He’s a crime fighter. He’s loyal to the president. He’s a good lawyer. But what I’m trying to say- to the president and anybody else, that the Russians are still up to it. Deterrence is not working. So let’s look at Hunter Biden’s conflict. Let’s look at Joe Biden. Vice President Biden, what did you do when they told you your son was on Burisma’s board? It undercuts your ability to fight corruption. Did you take it seriously? Obviously he didn’t. But when it comes to documents coming out of the Ukraine, to Republicans and Democrats, be very cautious turning—

MARGARET BRENNAN: But the—

SEN. GRAHAM: —anything over you got over to the intel community.
