New Emails Expose Close Relationship Between Lindsey Graham and Top HRC Aides

2016-09-13

[Fox] Long before Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) became a prominent NeverTurmper, he appears to have been a favorite Republican among the Clinton camp.

According to emails obtained by Citizens United through a Freedom of Information Act request and first given to LifeZette, Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band referred to Graham as the "bff" of longtime Hillary Clinton confidante Huma Abedin in November 2009.

At the time, Band was traveling with former president Bill Clinton to a conference in Israel and mentioned in an email to Abedin, then the deputy chief of staff at the State Department, that Graham was at the event.

"So funny! Tell him hi," Abedin replied.

"Lindsey said with all due respect I don't measure up to Huma," Band wrote.

#1 PJ Media Excerpt from Nov 2012:

The Three Faces of John McCain on the Muslim Brotherhood

"After talking with the Muslim Brotherhood, I was struck with their commitment to change the law because they believe it's unfair," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), who was traveling with Mr. McCain. Mr. Graham and other lawmakers praised the Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party won a plurality of nearly 50% of the seats in Parliament, as a strong potential partner for the future of U.S. relations with Egypt.

That marks a dramatic change from several months ago, when some Republican politicians reacted warily to the Brotherhood's rising clout. In April 2011, Mr. Graham said he was suspicious of the Brotherhood's "agenda," and that "their motives are very much in question."
