Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday joined Democrats in calling for President Donald Trump to turn over any recordings he made of conversations with fired FBI Director James Comey.

“If there are any tapes, they have to be turned over. You can’t be cute about tapes,” Graham said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “I doubt if there are, but we need to clear the air.” He said he wants Comey to come before the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss conversations he had with Trump before his abrupt termination.

Graham said he does not believe Trump “is a target” of a probe into possible connections between his associates and Russian officials, and said Trump should “let the investigation go forward” — and lay off the tweeting.

“I would advise the President not to tweet about the investigation going forward,” Graham said. “He needs to back off here.”

1. Sigh .... I just wish that with Graham it

Wasn't one step forward, two back.

Every time he says something sensible and centrist ... he seems to follow up with something conservative/cruel just to keep his street cred in GOP.

8. That's because he is part of the Never Trump wing of the GOP.

Thinking Trump is a complete moron doesn't make him not a conservative. Many Never Trumoer-ers are hardcore conservatives who have never believed Trump to actually be a conservative. If you read other political forums, many conservatives are livid that Ivanka and Jared have a place in the WH at all.

Graham is still a conservative. He just isn't a Trump fan.

10. You summed him up perfectly.

Just when you think he might be a voice of reason in the Republican party...

(oh, never mind)

14. I just wish that with Graham it wasn't one step forward, two back.

tRumputin will summon Graham into the Mir-A-Crapo/Chocolate Cake with My War Dessert Room the next time he sets up a wag the dog to take as much attention off of russiagate that he CAN, and he'll have "Aw shucks" Lindsay stuttering and stammering while he's looking at whichever bomb is bombing somewhere---Lindsay'll be hypnotized, watching the bombs explode and kill whatever civilian is around. Afterwards, saying how thankful he is to tRumputin for sharing his Chocolate Cake and war with him, and he'll forget all about wanting to see anything dealing with what we know are trumputin's dirty dealings with money, potentially illegal taping of conversations etc.

Cake/war/bombs=Lindsay *hearts* tRumputin

2. Thanks, Lindsey. How ever would we survive without your... mouth..

[jberryhill]

3. And this is a guy who knows "cute"

[NewRedDawn]

5. yeah he is a closeted hypocrite.

[bcbink]

4. He doesn't care what any senator has to say.

[downeastdaniel]

6. Lindsey Graham is wrong about tRUMP's Guilt, but he still says to cough up the tapes.

I just hope that he is joined by other members of the GOP to call for the tapes, if tRUMP ain't BSing.

7. Threats are now "cute"?

[L. Coyote]

11. And doubts are now certainties? He protesteth too much on Trump's innocence.

9. Lindsey-Thank you for this. Now shout it louder, day after day on the Senate floor.

[Grins]

12. You said that about Trump's "wires tapped" claim, ass-wad.

You said that about Trump's "wires tapped" claim, ass-wad. About which you did....?

[Corgigal]

13. I remember when this ass was ALL

concerned about Clinton and his adult affair. My my, he was just so full of himself. Thought that was the worst thing a President could do, lie about an affair.

If I may, I voted against this man for over 20 years. Now I moved to Kentucky where I get to vote against two of the worst senators in the country. I'm doing my best here kids.

Now I'm gonna say something very undemocratic like on a DU forum, but I'm sick of this two steps forward, two steps back lying Republican. In that red religious area, why don't we just out his ass? While I'm sorry if anyone is offended, it's time this stupidity ends with this man. Force South Carolina to see what they know is true, but deal with it. Like adults.

If he was a democrat and voted for civil rights for all minorities, then this wouldn't be needed. I'm just sick of this joke and pretend story. Besides talking a tough game, he will be a good boy. He can't do what's right, cause see above. Blackmail is blackmail and it doesn't matter who is doing it.

DU'ers don't hold your breath.
