Incoming for Lindsey Graham . . .

I think this guy Winslow is a NeverTrumper and maybe associated with The Lincoln Project.

Don Winslow @donwinslow (author of The Cartel, The Force, The Border and Savages): Dear @LindseyGrahamSC, Do you know what I did for 15 years before becoming an author? I was a private investigator. And a damn good one. See you soon.

just a sweet little love note to lindsey...






and this tweet from May, where he asks directly if Lindsey has been blackmailed:

So many of these guys tease out a big story and then.................. nothin'.

I would love Graham to be taken down in November.

Corruption and slimy dealings by Lindsey Graham. He's holding the dirt until the election is closer in time. But he's been very direct that he'll be taking the Not-So-Honorable Senator down. If true, it might explain Graham's mysterious 180 when it comes to all things Trump.

Hummmmm.

I can’t remember what it was. He’s probably got a lot of skeletons in the closet.

Seems like Don is ramping up the anticipation for us, and possibly the vapors for Lindsey?

He was a private detective who transitioned into writing crime novels (has 2 ongoing series) and written some plays

He is just a citizen who became outraged and put aside his professional life. He is a legitimate, commercially successful private detective for what that is worth.

Or the threat of that. Being gay shouldn't be held over anyone as a punishment. I get that his votes toward LGBTQ have sucked. I just don't like the optics.

who has spread hate and bigotry for four years. He deserves the fruits of the seeds he has sown over the years. Fuck him. It would be a just ending of his career to see him run out of office by Jaime Harrison, an African American.

mid july, by mid august it's old, dead news, and graham does the shoulder shrug and says, "blah, blah, blah, blah".

From the mind of an old carpenter, I'd keep it in reserve and use it at the appropriate time for maximum shock value.

but that's just me.

I mean, come on. So he could end Graham's career or stop the blackmail, but doesn't?

Every other person hypothesizes that Graham is being blackmailed over his sexual orientation or misdeeds. The guy likely has no other insight or details and is playing us for fools.
