Why Is Lindsey Graham Saying Biden's AG Must Not Investigate Trump? Here is One Big Clue . . .

[UCmeNdc]

In a shocking display of impropriety, Senator Lindsey Graham vows that no Attorney General nominated by Biden will be confirmed by the Senate if the nominee intends to investigate Trump's crimes. Why in the world would a sitting senator try to use his position to shield Trump from all criminal accountability?

Here is a review of what Lindsey Graham said about Trump BEFORE Graham told CNN his emails were hacked by Russia and what he said about Trump AFTER his emails were hacked by Russia. This is what we career prosecutors would call . . . a clue.

1. Folks have to realize,

the RNC as well as every Republican Politician had their e-mails hacked as well as the DNC. Trump has been playing a Blackmail Game since day one.

4. thanks

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. No doubt.

I want to investigate the Russian/NRA/RNC dark money pipeline. And why did a Republican delegation choose to visit Russia on July 4th, 2018?

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Yes,the use of

small donations using a Debt Card system that funneled hundreds of millions into GOP Pac's as well as DiaperDons personal bank accounts

[c-rational]

15. Bingo, exactly why did the reThugs visit Russia on the 4th of July. They were told to,.

[KPN]

13. That would certainly explain everything ... and I mean Every Thing. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

16. Glen Kershner has been

talking about how certain Republican Senators have complained that the GRU had hacked their Phones and E-mails.

[Pacifist Patriot]

24. Yes!

So frustrating that this isn't brought up more often. It explains a lot!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. I think that's probably true, but also that most of these Rs already were corrupt,

unprincipled, power-mad, money-grubbing weasels. When I hear people say Rs need to get a backbone, I think it's not a lack of backbone to support someone who will further your agenda, which Trump has done for Rs, even if they'd rather be more sneaky about it.

2. graham

Fuck limp lindsey

[Maraya1969]

3. Isn't the answer to this an "Acting attorney general" like Trump did with so many?

[NCDem47]

5. I'm convinced

That the entire Republican Party is deeply, deeply compromised by Russian money and kompromat at county, state and federal levels.

It’s SO bad, that they can never allow a Democratic President with the means, power and resources to investigate.

[KPN]

18. I'm inclined to agree. I've thought about this a lot.

While they've riled up their base and created fears about Democrats’ policies, that does not credibly or, in the least, explain their flagrant disregard for our long institutionalized norms or the laws that reflect them. Not in the least. There's more to their taking the levels of risk they are today, and have since Trump was elected. The only credible explanation I can come up with is Trump has a huge hammer, compliments of Putin, with which many if nor most Rs can and are being threatened; that is, blackmailed. The Rs are literally afraid for their lives, or at least their lives as they know and live them now. Everything is at risk for them should the stuff that Putin/Trump have over them come out -- especially in a court of law. That's the only thing that makes all of this sensible in my mind.

27. DemocratIC policies

can we at least stop doing that to ourselves?

[KPN]

28. Noted. I don't fully share that concern, especially in this

instance. I thought I had typed “Democrats’ “. Made that correction. We are Democrats. Why not take ownership over our “policies”?

[Major Nikon]

7. Same party spent $100 million criminally investigating a blowjob

For a sitting president no less. The idea we can't continue to investigate the most corrupt administration since Reagan is a bit laughable, even for dispshit Graham.

[KPN]

19. Gee, somehow I can see those words almost to a tee being the entire makeup of a personal letter

to the dipshit's office. Think I'll do that if you don't mind. I would probably end it differently: "even for you, dipshit!"

[thenelm1]

21. Psst! Psst! And it probably should be screamed out loud....

as a reminder, but I seem to remember a certain House member at the time from South Carolina who was a main cog in that $100 mil witch hunt for all crimes "Clinton" by the pubbies, one Lindsey Graham. Ever the hypocritical ass that he is. (Is he the only one left in Congress that was part of that particular 'hit squad'? I don't remember - though what I do remember is a number of them leaving office in disgrace within a number of years.)

[Faux pas]

8. Kickin' with disgust!

And wish they'd all just hurry up and go away already. They're grinding this country down to dust

[bamagal62]

9. So, basically, he's admitting there are crimes

That have been committed.

[badboy67]

12. Yep.

[KPN]

20. Sure seems that way. He sure isn't saytiong it for the good of the country, the fucking weasel.

[paleotn]

10. Explains Ron Johnson and a whole bunch of others....

Except for Mitt Romney, who with his Mormon bona fides, is impervious in Utah.

[Botany]

14. Graham flipped after he had his golf outing with Trump on Columbus Day 2017 or 2018

...I have no doubt that Trump showed Lindsey "something."

[Rebl2]

17. Okay

don’t investigate trump. Investigate lindsey instead, along with cruz and rubio.

[ToxMarz]

22. You know, I gotta think the US Intel has some hacking skills of their own.

I can't imagine they don't have a clue what the Russians got (or have) on Graham or a whole host of others. Maybe it won't be such an unanswered question on Jan 21st 2021.

[orleans]

23. ...

Link to tweet

tell us what was in your emails that russia hacked, you squirmy little scum. you hated trump, got emails hacked by russia, & then couldn't kiss trump's ass often enough. looks like little lindsey has a big fucking secret!

[Enoki33]

25. The Russians spent decades probing our political system

for vulnerabilities and zeroed in on how individual lawmakers financed their political careers. Later the GRU coupled oligarch funneled donations with clandestine technology, and ended up with compromising enough powerful GOP members to support their Putin puppet way beyond their wildest dreams. We now have a government riddled with traitors who support power over the constitution, and dictatorship over democracy. The damage that has already been done has to be detailed, analyzed and excised if our true potential is to be realized. Just a thought.

[GoCubsGo]

26. They don't call him "Leningrad Lindsey" for nothin'.

[NurseJackie]

29. Whatever they have on him... I'd be willing to bet that it's illegal enough to send him to prison.

And if so, they probably have photographs. I can't think of what it might be, but whatever it is, I'm sure it's bad.
