SCOOP: Lindsey Graham was pranked by same Russians who got to Adam Schiff. Says "wants to be help

SCOOP: Lindsey Graham was pranked by the same Russians who got to Adam Schiff. In a call with the "Turkish defense minister," he called the Kurdish YPG a "threat" and said Trump "wants to be helpful, within the limits of his power" in the Reza Zarrab case.




Graham spent the call dishing about Trump and there's this:

"Graham also expressed sympathy for Turkey’s 'Kurdish problem' and described the Kurds as a 'threat.'"

Watch him during the Kavanaugh dog and pony hearing and tell me that's not what the guy does in a horror film right before he turns into a fucking snake.

14. You don't get the unknown butt dial, where folks are hearing conversations in the room by accident.

delete the daily call log, butt dialing become more of a possibility).

What I don't get is someone in the room hearing the conversation. When my phone butt dials, I ask the other person whether he or she called me, if not, call over. It is not like my phone called an escort service or bookie, so I have nothing to hide.
