Lindsey Graham actually said...

"he was not just fact-finding. He was not just asking questions and doing his due diligence to inform his vote as a senator."

"he's just doing his job as a senator and he should be protected as such from having to answer questions about it."

"The lawyers for Senator Graham argue that his calls to Georgia officials were directly related to his responsibilities as the then Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee."

"There`s a tremendous burden on the Department of Justice, in my view, to explain their actions and I hope they will."
