McCain is dead and whatever extortion material he had on Graham is gone, I suspect.

Trust but verify; Grahambo is a lot of fun to watch, but we gotta make sure he doesn’t fall back into his old ways. A combination of encouragement and vigilance, especially from those in his state.

Yeah, you're right. He must be lying therefore the President is really guilty and should be impeached. /s

If you look around you'll notice Graham is one of a very few defending the President. Deal with it.

Overall, I thought he hammered the main point quite effectively — the complaint is hearsay that would be laughed out of a court of law.,

This was good. I've already forgiven Lindsey. I think since McCain died he doesn't have the bad influence he did.

One thing that we all need to keep in mind: an impeachment isn't a criminal process bound by the same rules as all others in the USA. It's more a political process, with some criminal flavorings added.

Ultimately you have politicians voting to remove one of their own. So, the rules are what the Senate says in the Senate and what the House says in the House. It's not like a Federal trial where the rules are long established, and there are multiple levels of appeal to defendants if the prosecutors break them.

It is an interesting point that he makes about the accuser. I think it's vital that we learn who it is ASAP. When we investigated some of the Mueller team we found Strzok / Page, which was the beginning of the end.

It only takes one patriotic citizen to violate the "anonymity" of the so called Whistleblower. I hope someone does it soon.

If Trump's phone calls have no presumption of privacy someone being the lead protagonist in an attempt to remove the elected POTUS should have no expectation nor right to privacy.

Anf far better than a formal process to unmask them is the use of LEAKS. For once, lets have a leak that helps our side.

I hope someone In DC with the knowledge to share decides to do so soon!

That’s nice. I wasn’t aware Senate Graham has a vote in the House of Representatives. Graham seems comfortable being a bystander while the Dems impeach POTUS in the House.

Would Harry Reid have done the same if a GOP House together with the IC had been plotting a coup against Obama? Not in a million years.

Democrats don’t seem desperate at all to me. They won the midterms, obviously. They are not acting any different than they ever have. They wake up every morning and fight for every inch of the political battlefield. Sadly, the same can’t be said of the GOP.

Graham wants to be president. He is following trumps formula.


Clearly, Graham wants Trump to lose in 2020. That’s why he is doing nothing but flap his gums while the Dem House impeaches POTUS.

The Democrat party is clown show! All they do is lead their voters into thinking they will eventually will remove a sitting President from office even though it takes 2/3rds of a republican controlled senate to actually remove a sitting president! Please tell your Democrat friends to listen to my message......The house does not have the power to remove a sitting President!.......The Republican controlled senate will not remove a Republican president based on no crimes and probably would not remove him on a crime either! Example: Hold my cigar, William Jefferson Clinton. The only ones that have the power to remove Donald Trump are the voters in 2020! Please let that sink in and try to focus on work and family and your daily lives! The fake news is lying to you again! The fake news said Trump had zero chance to win, Trump would cause global calamity, stock market crashes, nuclear wars, was going to prison by colluding with Russia, was going to jail because of a porn star lawyer....and on and on and on with zero results and always 100 percent wrong. Now your going to believe the fake news again over this bullshit????? You are setting yourselves up for another disappointment! Does it make you feel good inside that Nancy Pelosi is filing articles of impeachment? Will that make you feel like your winning? Ok i guess if that makes you feel good inside but in the end the President will not be impeached by the Senate and the Democrates will look stupid yet AGAIN!!

I think Graham wants to be VP on the Trump ticket.

I seriously doubt that Pence will run again.

Since Graham is not in the House he really doesn’t have a say in the matter, does he?


I had the same thought. Graham steadfastly refuses to use his very real power as a US Senate committee chairman to support POTUS. He sure will run his mouth, though.

This is going to get a lot worse. Rush was talking today about the House rules the Dems have changed. The GOP won’t even be able to question impeachment witnesses, apparently. No doubt the Dems have a lot of nasty surprises up their sleeves waiting to spring on the country.

People tend to equate the word, impeach with the idea of removal. It’s like equating the word “Google” with search when you can use Bing or Yahoo or DuckDuckGo to search.

I believe in his mind, Graham was referring to removal.

Thanks for your well-reasoned reply to my post.

Panic is contagious, and the enemedia will do their best to stoke panic in all segments of our society. This mirrors their own panic.

It’s astonishing how much we’ve already learned in just a few days that exonerates Trump and puts the RATs in a very bad light indeed.

Considering what discovery would look like in a Senate trial, the RATs need to be asking themselves if they want to have all their own misdeeds exposed in testimony.

I wish McConnell would just say that he will tie any bill of impeachment up in committee until doomsday. On the other hand, it might be sensible to just give the impression of neutrality, considering how the media would go berserk if Mitch made such a statement.

Still, considering McConnell’s legendary maneuver with the Merrick Garland SCOTUS nomination, you have to wonder if that’s not what he’s really thinking. If I was in his shoes, I wouldn’t want to show all my cards at this early date either.

if the democrats want to waste the next year to basically give Trump a sterly worded rebuke.. (which is all impeachment without removal will be) then I say.. HELL YEAH!

And hopefully they will lose their majority and will have wasted the time they needed to implement their commie adgenda

I appreciate him defending Trump. I just don’t think he’s doing it because he’s really ball in for Trump. I think it’s more about his re-election. Remember how anti Obamacare McCain was during the two years prior to re-election?

"She has a perpetual scowl face, kinda like she has gas."

Maybe there's a distasteful prep session she has to go through to get time on the air.

I believe that actually impeaching Trump in the House will be more politically useful than beating impeachment.cvb

Graham definitely has a silver tongue. Hope he remains true to the President and doesn’t suffer anymore MWS — McCain Warhog Syndrome.
