Senator Lindsey Graham said, “This whole Oliver Stone approach to the Mueller report by Democrats is getting a bid old.”

We don't need you interpreting for us.""Do you really believe that Bob Barr would give us a summary of the key findings and it not be supported by the report?" he told Fox News."Give me a break."
All nine GOP members of the committee also sent Schiff a letter demanding that he resign, accusing him of having"abused your position to knowingly promote false information, having damaged the integrity of this Committee, and undermined faith in U.S. government institutions.” They equated Schiff's repeated remarks on collusion to"McCarthyism."
Schiff responded to the criticism by naming all the examples involving campaign associates that he believed amounted to collusion. He accused the committee Republicans of turning a blind eye to such actions.
