Who Here Wants To Bet Lindsay Graham Will Be In Prison In 5 Years?

He is going all in defending Trump. His crimes must be overwhelming, or he would be in hiding like the rest of them.

From John McCain's buddy to Ann Coulter in a man's body.

in his private life he's hiding that trump is holding over him. That's my guess anyway. I don't think it's prison-worthy, only embarrassing for him. I kind of hope I'm wrong because at this point I'd love to see him behind bars.

Expect him to not seek reelection. Believe he is in deep doo-doo in a South Carolina FEC case involving Ruble's for favors.

That Ukrainian billionaire Len Blavatnik (friend of Oleg Deripaska, and you know who Oleg is friends with) bought Lindsey Graham for 800-thousand dollars.

Dallas Morning News had it in late 2017.

His transformation from summer of 2016, while still John McCain's close friend. Fast forward six months and his loyalties shifted, almost overnight, to a strong Trump backer. The change was striking. Yeah, something smells in Denmark.

in a Trump- loving state. There may be crimes. don’t know but what I do know is that Anti- Trumper Mark Sanford got beaten by a pro- Trump Republican in the primaries and then a Democrat won the election.

He's clearly guilty of something big. It shouldn't take that long to nab him.

And even on the rare occasion they plead guilty, they don’t get jail time.

That type of thing had been impressively decreasing for many months around here, but lately there's been a robust renewal.

Senator to prison. That's all you need to know to forecast accurately. People get in trouble when they start assigning names and paying attention to daily news while making the projection.

Always ignore today

It doesn't matter one whit to ME (as far as I'm concerned, he can dip his wick into whatever he wants),but the bigots in SC won't stand for it. And Uncle Vlad knows it.
