Lindsey Graham’s epic defense of Trump over Ukraine ‘phone call’
TNS ^ | 9/30/19 | TNS Staff

Posted on 09/30/2019 7:20:23 AM PDT by SleeperCatcher

For the past 10 days or so, ever since the latest deep state attempt to depose President Trump manifested itself in a phony “scandal” involving a phone call he made to the leader of Ukraine, we’ve been asking: Where the hell is Lindsey Graham?

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee hasn’t scheduled a single hearing or subpoenaed a single witness from the intelligence community who supposedly “heard” President Trump “threaten” to withhold aid from Ukraine in a “quid pro quo” exchange for help in exposing the real corruption: Joe Biden’s very real threat to Ukraine and his son’s sweetheart $50k/month gig with a company under investigation by a prosecutor the former VEEP had fired.

Flimsey Grahamnesty learned the McCain two-step from the master.

This is re-election rhetoric, nothing more.

Mark Levin is perhaps the best spokesperson for the ridiculousness of this charade.

Exactly. Pay no attention to Graham flapping his gums.
Graham never defends POTUS on Ukraine/Russia/Etc at a hearing as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. Curious. Very curious.

Right now, why should we care?

Would you prefer he act like Romney instead?

Talk is cheap.
The Senate is made up with lots of cheap talk

Indeed he is and THE GREAT ONE is one again schooling the ignorant chattering elitist media. Trump should hire him for his impeachment defense. With his experience defending Edwin Meese from the same type of nonsense Mark would be indispensable and a step up from Rudy.

At least he'd make the Sunday shows worth watching, for his segment.

Do Democrats ever “do nothing?” Not in a million years. They wake up every morning and fight. The GOP not so much.

I’d prefer that people wake up and stop electing people who want to give amnesty to illegal aliens, the Democrats a permanent majority and our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

All he is doing is trying to put up a shield so he doesn’t get pulled into this. Remember, he is John McCain light.

I really do like the new and improved Lindsay Graham 2.0 . He was excellent in that interview. My only concern is that where are the rest of our republican caucus and why aren’t they out doing the same? RINO Cowards the lot of them.

Sorry, Graham has real power and he is not exercising it. That is what really matters.

"I’m for progress and the flag- long may it fly.

I’m a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don’t

I’ve come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,

cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare,

I’m for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer.<

And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I’ll continue to stand tall.

You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya’ll"

There is no new and improved Flimsey Grahamnesty.
He is still working on passing the amnesty he has been working on since 2006 that will result in a permanent Democrat majority.

Mark Levin was right...

IT’S TIME TO CALL, EMAIL, AND FAX ALL REPUBLICAN US SENATORS AND DEMAND THAT REPUBLICAN CHAIRMEN IN THE SENATE ISSUE 100 SUBPOENAS.

GO AFTER THEIR THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS.
GO AFTER THEIR FRIENDS.
GO AFTER THEIR RELATIVES.
GO AFTER THEIR ACCOUNTANTS.
GO AFTER THEIR RECORDS.
AND IF THEY DON’T GO FOR IT, HOLD THEM IN CONTEMPT.

From Mark Levin
“And finally, where the hell are the Republican chairman in the Senate? Why aren’t they issuing subpoenas? Why don’t they pretend they’re Elijah Cummings or Jerry Nadler? Or Schiff for that matter? I know it’s an ugly thought, but issue 100 subpoenas. Go after their bank accounts, go after their friends, go after their relatives. Go after their accountants. Go after their records. And if they don’t go for it, hold them in contempt.”

TIME TO STOP PLAYING DEFENSIVE ALL THE TIME AND GO ON THE OFFENSIVE!!!

On a different level, Jesse Watters is excellent on this.
