WASHINGTON — FBI agents are on the scene one day after the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. ... At least five agents arrived early Sunday afternoon, shortly after FBI Director Kash Patel said via Twitter that “the FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available.” ... The agency has not indicated what prompted their response to the South Carolina Senator’s home.

Graham's office said that he died after “a brief illness.” They did not indicate the nature of the 71-year-old's illness. ... "Senator Graham's family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” the statement added.

No law enforcement agencies have indicated that foul play may have been involved in Graham’s death. ... A WUSA9 reported indicated that shortly after noon, only one local police officer was on the scene when federal agents approached.

Graham had recently returned from a trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

1. Bullshit move by Patel.

[mercuryblues]

4. I would be surprised

If they didn't investigate.

When a person dies at home police always investigate, even if the person has been bedridden and 90 years old.

With Graham being a sitting senator, the FBI will get involved.

Not to say, I would rule out that they are cleaning up his computer, any sensitive documents that he may have, and embarrassing stuff he might have about Trump.

7. The local police would be involved first. IF they were involved before the autopsy.

[onenote]

13. DC police often give way to federal agents.

[jmowreader]

9. No, it's exactly what has to happen

A sitting United States Senator "suddenly died." They've got to do a very thorough investigation to prove he wasn't whacked. The DC Medical Examiner is reporting that he died from aortic dissection, which is where the inner wall of your aorta fails. In other words, he bled to death internally. But they still have to investigate because of his office.

10. Absolutely... meant to take eyes off the Mitch McConnell controversy!

Is Mitch dead or alive? Who knows? But let's give them a dead Lindsay Graham, anyway! That sounds just like something they'd do!

19. That piece of garbage wants to make

everything the fault of Democrats. He has no intelligence or human decency.

Also, how do you suppose this feels for Graham’s family? It’s very disrespectful.

2. I little hello from Mr Putin?

[FarPoint]

3. Ohhhh we know they are there to clean up any

incriminating information on the crime family that he may of used for leverage.....

Clean up time.

[Escape]

5. Yes...Lindsay may have had some Kompromat of his own..

Maybe some private communications with Trump. Or maybe something he was keeping in his back pocket, just in case he needed some Blackmail insurance..

[PatSeg]

6. Good point

With these people, nothing is as it seems.

[LiberalArkie]

16. Lindsey has obviously been blackmailed due to his change in thought patterns.

He may have had the evidence of it and if so, the administration does not want that information out in the public..

[Earth Bound Misfit]

8. WTF?

[Karasu]

11. Pandering to GQP conspiracy theorists, of course. Patel made a show out of this when he wormed it into his Xitter post

last night.

[70sEraVet]

12. Oh no! That poor guy who touched a piece of peeling paint in the...

Reflecting Pool has been released on his own recognizance! I hope he has a good alibi for his whereabouts!

[watertiger]

14. More than likely, they are there to remove any evidence Lindsay may have left behind

[SeattleVet]

15. Or just to recover any government and classified docs he may have had in his residence.

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

[durablend]

17. Looking for some way to blame "the left" for it.

[Crowman2009]

18. More like hiding the evidence of poppers or any other GOP-embarrassing paraphernalia.

You know because of family values or some shit.
