South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham laced into Inspector General Michael Horowitz during his appearance before a Senate hearing.

He also took aim at the FBI handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign.

And he took on the media, which was apropos because, as CNN covered every opening statement by Reps. Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, they ignored Sen. Graham’s.

“Crossfire Hurricane was probably the best name ever given to an investigation in the history of investigations ’cause I think that’s what we wound up with, a crossfire and a hurricane,” he said.

“There has been a lot of media reports about your report before it was issued, and I remember reading all these headlines. ‘Lawful investigation with a few irregularities’, ‘Everything okay, low-level people kind of got off track.’ If that’s what you get out of this report, you clearly didn’t read it.”

“If that’s your takeaway that this thing was lawfully predicated, and that’s the main point, you missed the entire report.

“How do you get a headline like that? That’s what you want it to be. You want it to be that and nothing more,” Graham said.

“And I can assure you, if this had been a Democratic president going through what President Trump had gone through, that would not have been the headline. The headline would be, ‘The FBI takes law into its own hands: Biased agents cut corners, lie to the court, ignore exoneration.’”

Graham is 100 percent correct. The media is as biased as the day is long a s they have not even attempted to hide it since President Trump was elected.

“So the first thing I want you to know is how the cake is baked here, and my goal is to make sure that people, when this is over, whether you like Trump, hate Trump, don’t care about Trump, you look at this as more than a few irregularities,” he said. “Because if this becomes a few irregularities, then God help us all.”

And the senator was breathing fire when he took on the FBI, its agents, and its reliance on the Steele Dossier to obtain FISA warrants.

“It is stunning it is damning it is salacious, and it’s a bunch of crap,” he said. “This is not normal. Don’t judge the FBI and the Department of Justice by these characters.”

“What has been described as a few irregularities becomes a massive criminal conspiracy over time to defraud the FISA court, to illegally surveil an American citizen, and to keep an operation open against a sitting president of the United States, violating every norm known to the rule of law,” the senator said.

“Trump’s time will come and go. But I hope we understand that what happened here can never happen again, because what happened here is not a few irregularities. What happened here is the system failed.

“People at the highest level of our government took the law into their own hands. And when I say defraud the FISA court, I mean it. To your team, you were able to uncover and discover abuse of power I never believed would actually exist in 2019,” he said.

President Trump also commented on the decision by CNN to not air the opening statement of Sen. Graham.
