Graham: Trump 'probably' shouldn't call use of FBI informant 'spygate'

Source: The Hill




BY MAX GREENWOOD - 05/25/18 10:38 AM EDT

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Friday that President Trump "probably" shouldn't use the term "spygate" to refer to the FBI's use of a top-secret informant in the early months of the counterintelligence probe into Russia's role in the 2016 election.

In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Graham said that he doesn't think that the informant, identified in media reports as American academic Stefan Halper, is a spy.

Asked by Hewitt if Trump should be referring to the matter as "spygate," Graham demurred.

"I don’t know. Probably not, but I don’t know," he said. "I didn’t go to the meeting. I don’t think it’s — I don’t think he’s a spy. And I don’t know who this person was."

has been grabbed by his pussy , and after all trumps done wants to say anything, and be taken seriously? All the Republicans have been neutered and grabbed , and they've done nothing to stop this. They've allowed the rule of law to not apply to a corrupt and cruel illegitimate president now, or their party. This will come back to haunt them for a long, long time.

You don’t know much, do ya?

"I don’t know. Probably not, but I don’t know," he said. "I didn’t go to the meeting. I don’t think it’s — I don’t think he’s a spy. And I don’t know who this person was."

Once again the very smart and effective Representative Schiff is right on top of it. Repubs can't keep up with him and they might as well not even try. Whenever Schiff decides to run for President, I would be happy to support him.
