Quietly the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) IS sending out letters to various government agencies asking about Joe Biden’s actions while in office….
Graham and an handful of Republican US Senators seem to becoming part of Donald Trump’s continuing effort to derail Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign…
The majority of Republican and Democratic Senator’s want to put all this behind them….
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of Graham’s committee, asked if he had any interest in investigating the Bidens, said: “I think an election is the best way to handle that.”
Still, Graham isn’t the only Republican who is interested in digging into Hunter Biden and Ukraine.
Minutes after the impeachment trial wrapped this week, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) — the chairmen of the Finance and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees, respectively — announced they were asking for details of any travel Hunter Biden took with a protective detail when his father was vice president.
The two chairmen, sometimes in conjunction with Graham, have been sending letters to a slew of departments for months asking for details on Ukraine, Burisma Holdings, Hunter Biden and their respective associates.
The Treasury Department is handing over documents to Grassley and Johnson as part of their probe, a spokesman for Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said on Thursday.
A GOP aide noted that they’ve also been told the State Department and the National Archives, who also received letters, have documents related to their requests and are expected to hand them over….
Note…
Joe Biden says Lindsey Graham is NO LONGER his friend….

We have actual public servants to investigate crime. They are bound by rules and public disclosure requirements and may not work for anyone else. Giuliani is not a government employee, and not bound by the rules. He is a private attorney for Donald Trump and other paying clients.

Remarkable. Sen. Graham says he talked to AG Barr this morning and they have set up a “process” by which Rudy Giuliani will now send his Biden “dirt” directly to AG Barr.
