SENATE GOP SET TO RAMP UP OBAMA-ERA PROBES

Political Analyst // author of Founders Revolution MICHAEL LAW:
Senate Republicans are preparing to ramp up their Obama-era probes, pushing the controversial investigations back into the spotlight as the 2020 election heats up. The efforts have sparked high-profile tensions with Senate Democrats and public rebukes from former Vice President Joe Biden’s orbit. They view the efforts as an attempt to meddle in the 2020 election, where Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee. But with the Senate coming back to Washington on Monday, and the number of legislative days quickly dwindling, Republicans are preparing to step up their efforts. "In July we will be having some public hearings. ...There's a lot to be done between now and September,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said during a social media Q&A, adding that he would “investigate the investigators.” Graham specifically singled out former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, saying he wants her to testify about a Jan. 5, 2017 White House meeting, which has been an area of interest for Republicans. At the meeting, then-President Obama and then-FBI Director James Comey discussed sharing national security information related to Russia with incoming national security advisor Michael Flynn.
