Lindsey Graham just made his move and signaled to Nancy Pelosi that the game is up. He told Fox News last night that no Republican Senators will vote to impeach.
Not even Mitt Romney. He added that Trump didn’t do anything wrong and said the phone call was fine. Look, this is going to come down to one set of bureaucrats against another set of bureaucrats.
All unelected. Some are saying what Trump did is a crime and put our national security at risk while others say what Trump did was fine and happens all the time in diplomacy.
In short, this is what happens in third world countries not America. We don’t listen to bureaucrats we listen to the voters.
To that aim, Graham checkmated Pelosi and demanded the Senate open investigations into the Bidens. What will happen then is we will have dueling political investigations with dueling bureaucrats telling tales.
From The Hill:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is calling for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to probe ties between the Bidens and Ukraine, including calling State Department officials.
“We need to look at whether or not Hunter Biden corruptly engaged in lobbying. Did Joe Biden ask the prosecutor to be fired because he was investigating his son?” Graham asked during an interview on Monday with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham.
He added that he hoped Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch (R-Idaho) “will open up an investigation about the role of the State Department in all this.”
Spokespeople for Risch didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
President Trump and his allies have latched onto Biden’s connection to Ukraine as the former vice president seeks the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump in 2020.
Joe Biden pushed in 2016 for the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor who had been accused of overlooking corruption in his own office. There’s no indication Joe Biden was acting with his son’s interests in mind, and the former vice president has denied doing so.
Lindsey just needs Rand near him to maintain his confidence to start the Biden investigation.
“I’m not holding my breath.”
His pronouncement is a few months overdue.
This is a dagger pointed right at the heart of the corrupocracy.
Hey Lindsey Lovelace! . Don’t forget the Clintons. (She’s waiting in the wings for 2020)
Heh. Graham’s version of “Let’s you and him have a fight.”
Or what will he do, pull out his buttplug?
How is checkmark if nothing is done?
I think he did not want congressional interference in Durhams investigation. Maybe he thinks Durham has enough now that congressional investigations wont do that, but yes, its also time to light a fire under DOJ to finish up their various reports.
After all, an investigation of the Biden’s is necessary to determine if there was indeed corruption. And others might be implicated, too.
I am surprised that Graham hasn't mentioned this sooner.
When McCain died, it seems like someone allowed Graham to have at least one of his testicles back.
His pronouncement is a few months overdue.Yea you're right, he should just forget it. < /sarcasm >
“Not even Mitt Romney. “
Don’t be so sure. Mittens makes Susan Collins look like a rock ribbed conservative.
I couldnt find this story anywhere - what is newsthud? BOOM fake news clickbait?
graham has known about this crap for as long as it’s been going on
The worst thing about the deep state is that most of them are republican senators
They despise us and our champion, Trump, who are going to force all this out in the open
Sunlight’s the best thing... unless you’re a roach, I mean deep stater
Lindsey was going to hold hearings in the Judiciary Committee. Now he is passing the buck. Lindsey anD McCain are dirty on Ukraine.
Flimsey Grahamnesty knows he will not get re-elected without at least appearing to support President Trump.
Talk is cheap.
Graham is going to do “The Picard Maneuver”
“Surrender or I will talk at you again”
That’s good. LOL
Don’t be fooled, Flimsey is still the amnesty whore he always was and will be again once he is re-elected.
He knows he has to pretend to support the President to get re-elected.
He still sides with illegal aliens against the citizens and the rule of law.
He has voted for amnesty THREE times.
Skunks don’t change their stripes.
