Russia issues arrest warrant for Lindsey Graham over Ukraine comments

[groundloop]

Source: ABC News

Russia's Interior Ministry on Monday issued an arrest warrant for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham following his comments related to the fighting in Ukraine.

In an edited video of his meeting on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that was released by Zelenskyy's office, Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, noted that “the Russians are dying” and described the U.S. military assistance to the country as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”

While Graham appeared to have made the remarks in different parts of the conversation, the short video by Ukraine's presidential office put them next to each other, causing outrage in Russia.

Russian President Vladiir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented Sunday by saying that “it's hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators.”

1. I wonder if at some point the DOJ will issue one, too. lindsay seems pretty crooked.

[TheBlackAdder]

3. Was it "Russians dying. . . the best money we've ever spent" or the "See you in the Hague" comment?

[AZ8theist]

26. Either way....

That July 4th trip to Moscow is probably off the table now....

[Lovie777]

4. This is comical..................

5. Aw did Pooty Poot get his feefees hurt?

No fan of Graham but fuck you Putin.

[Grins]

6. First, he tells McCain to take the Steele Dossier to the FBI...

...and now this. No wonder they're pissed.

However, Putin's spokesman's comment “it's hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators,” found sympathy here.

[oldsoftie]

7. Anyone notice many of the names on Ru's Banned" list are Trump enemies?

Even down to the prosecutors dealing with the J6th rioters

[Bristlecone]

8. Peskov is correct on that point. It is hard to imagine a greater shame for the country

Than having such senators.

We’ve got a full team of them.

9. 210Po. nt.

[orleans]

12. I can't stop laughing :):)

[bluescribbler]

13. "it's hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators."

For once I agree with Peskov, but for different reasons.

[LudwigPastorius]

14. Boris Butthurtsky haz a sad?

Damn that guy is stupid.

Threatening Lindsey Graham with a Russian prison is like threatening Br’er Rabbit with a briar patch.

[Maraya1969]

15. Can we extradite him? I'm kind of sure we don't extradite to Russia but can't we make this one

exception

[reACTIONary]

16. +10 - My thought exactly!

[Paladin]

18. Come and get him, Russia.

Please.

[Rebl2]

20. Just what I thought

[BaronChocula]

19. Can we trade Graham

for Evan Gershkovich?

[Rebl2]

21. And

All those that Russians have been holding for years.

[BaronChocula]

27. Great!

Then we can throw in Duh-Santis, Trump, and other prominent members of the white nationalist death squad. Take em all Vlad! Take em all!

[Rebl2]

28. 👆👆👆

[COL Mustard]

22. I'm actually envious of Lindsey for this

He made the recent list of 500 Americans banned from entering Russia, and now this! It’s just not fair, him getting all the attention and someone like me being completely ignored.

😣

[Evolve Dammit]

23. Take him. He is of no use here. Lock him up if we can't. nt

[Martin68]

25. I say hand him over...

[myohmy2]

29. strange...

“it's hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators.”

...I feel the same way...

[moniss]

30. I would imagine

that bringing back the Plague would be more popular than bringing Lindsay back. So maybe the negotiations would drag on for years and years. Hope springs eternal.

[truthisfreedom]

31. I wonder if Cancun will reject him next?

Nobody wants Lindsey.

[Xolodno]

32. I'm going to write the Onion/Borowitz version of the article.

Lindsey Graham should be arrested, according to Putin. Medvedev later stated he agreed, stating he knows and has proof of his corruption "Afterall, we paid him and have the receipts".
