What will Lindsey Graham ask Merrick Garland at his confirmation hearing?

We can only imagine.

Maybe it will be something like, "Do you intend to carry on these investigations of Donald J Trump?"

Do you plan on getting any more FISA warrants against Mr Trump or his family?

Are you going to continue these "witch-hunts" against the 'president'?

When Merrick Garland is affirmed, they will also need almost all of the US Attorney positions filled also.

It is then they will determine who and when to prosecute. There are pending cases in Georgia and New York, and possibly, Washington DC. The latter would seem to have the jurisdiction over the charges made at the impeachment trial.

Mr Trump would like Mr Graham to get the Judiciary Committee to call off the dogs and give Mr Trump a break.

I mean, t-rump and his family and friends and associates, and any republican congresscritters, et al.,

(Side note: Treason Barr lied boldface at every hearing he did in front of congress.)

He'll do whatever he can in an effort to avoid justice for Trumpsky and for himself.

He won't be setting any agendas.

He'll be sweating and squirming.

I really am curious. Is he one of those old people who have been brainwashed by Trump. I don’t think his actions are calculating political moves like McConnell anymore. He seems full on nuts.

How can you not harbor animosity towards a group of cowardly partisan Trump followers that fucked you out of your rightful Supreme Court seat?
