Lindsey Graham: All The Rules Have Been Changed to Get Trump; Now They're Trying To Destroy Bill Barr

Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, joined FNC's Maria Bartiromo this week on "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss Attorney General Bill Barr's statement that he believes "spying did occur" on the 2016 Trump campaign and transition team and the next steps for his investigation into what happened.

"Democrats, if you're trying to get Trump, they really don't care how you're trying to get him," Graham said. "I really do care about the rule of law. Most Democrats don't care about this because they thought it was a worthy endeavor to try to take Trump down, so I'm hoping some Democrats will change their tune, because if you can do this to a Republican, one day you can do it to a Democrat."







"You know they accuse Trump of changing all the rules in Washington. I would suggest that all the rules have been changed to get Trump," he continued. "They're attacking Bill Barr now one of the most seasoned, highly-respected legal minds in the United States. Nothing has changed about Bill Barr since he was attorney general under Bush 41. The only thing that's changed is the desire to get Trump."

ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR, 10 APRIL 2019: I think there was spying that did occur, yes, I think spying did occur... But the question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated, and I'm not suggesting it wasn't adequately predicated, but I need to explore that.

MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: That was Attorney General William Barr last week saying he believed biased members of the FBI did, in fact, authorize spying on the Trump campaign during the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. All of a sudden Democrats now calling it a "right-wing conspiracy." They are saying they are stunned and this is scary. I don't know what all of the "stunned" comments are about, plenty of Republicans going back over a year on this program, have said the same exact thing.
