Lindsey Graham Says Biden Should Be Prosecuted

Lindsey Graham Says Biden Should Be Prosecuted

"SNIP.............

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News that unless the Supreme Court grants presidential immunity, President Biden should be prosecuted for crimes related to forgiving student loan debt.

Explained Graham: “There’s nothing in our law that allows him to forgive student loans. If you’re out there working and didn’t go to college, Joe Biden’s forgiving student loans, and you’re paying for them. This is beyond lawless and beyond dangerous.”

It was either within Biden's Presidential
Powers to forgive a portion of students loans meeting certain criteria, or it wasn't. If the courts decide Biden didn't have the authority, the policy gets reversed, Biden doesn't stand trial for it.

Even if you disagree intensely with the policy and think it's a terrible idea, how is it criminal? Is there a federal statute that says he can't do that? No? Graham knows better, too. He's just performing for The Boss.

In 2015 Graham said this about Biden: “The bottom line is, if you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you got a problem. You need to do some self-evaluation, 'cause what’s not to like... He’s the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics. He’s as good a man as God ever created.” And now he wants to prosecute him.

Sun Jun 23, 2024, 08:40 PM

Life has stalled for him. Both he and Biden used to sit there in the well of the Senate as direct peers as two of one hundred.

Biden got the thing Lindsey wanted but could never ever win no matter how hard he tried or how much he capitulated—the office of president.

And Graham sits there like an old lap baby suckling at Drumpf’s political teat, knowing that THIS is the end of the line. Being a sad, sodden little puppet.

So, he’s bitter. Hopelessly so.

But his turn in the barrel is coming. What he’s done that we don’t know publicly as yet that has him in such thrall to 45 WILL come to light, and it won’t be pretty.

And he’ll squeal and thrash and whine and bleat like mad that someone will have done him as dirty as he’s done others and we’ll.

Just.

Smile.

This ranks up there with his bill to ban abortion right before the midterms.

It's really amazing that he has been in the Senate for so long because he has absolutely no political skill aside from his complete amoral shamelessness. McCain gave him cover during his earlier years, but the guy on his own is an absolute cringeworthy zero, neither party wants anything to do with him, and moderates/centrists think he's a bad joke. If news shows stopped inviting him on to share his completely irrelevant, meaningless and woefully uninformed opinions, he'd be a ghost.
