Former Trump strategist and War Room host Steve Bannon is calling for the arrest of Sen. Lindsay Graham over his trip to Ukraine and pushing for the war to continue. Bannon stated that at the very least, the South Carolina career politician should have his passport revoked and be barred from returning to the United States during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Monday.
“He’s giving Ukrainians false hope,” Bannon said. “Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay Graham is stirring it up right now. People better wake up to the fact that we’re getting sucked into this war.”
Cuomo argued, “I don’t understand how you could want to jail a U.S. senator because he’s saying something you don’t like — that sounds like worst of the deep state, and lawfare.”
“No, no. What he’s doing over there right now is stirring it up. He’s giving Ukrainians false hope-” Bannon countered.
“But it’s not illegal,” Cuomo interrupted.
“He’s giving Ukrainians false hope, he’s giving Ukrainians false hope that we’re there to support them on engaging Russia in a kinetic conflict and we are not. One of the central parts of President Trump —” Bannon continued.
Cuomo again interrupted, “So maybe he’s wrong. So maybe he’s wrong, but why do you say throw him in jail?”
“Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay Graham is stirring it up right now. People better wake up to the fact that we’re getting sucked into this war and if we get sucked in much more-” Bannon said, before being cut off again.

Last time I looked.....
Sedition is illegal.
That is probably one of the things the Senate would convict at impeachment of Trump.
Unless there is a law which prevents a sitting member of the legislative branch to go to a foreign country to discuss something, then Bannon is wrong. And Bannon’s opinions are his own.
If only, Steve. If only we could get that done!
Lindsay is getting a little too big for his britches.
Who does he think he is? John Kerry?
Just look at all the little neocons lovin’ on that freaking POS Graham.
Geesh, you have sold your souls for this.

He spent over $400K on that trip, apparently.
Repubs running Trump Resistance.
Run out the clock on Trump
The same Republicans that gave Biden whatever he wanted and funded it all!
i’ll wait until president trump weight in on this,
he is pretty vocal recently about other senators except linda.
Separation of powers. Congress has to go through the executive branch in all foreign negotiations and agreements. We have the President, State dept, and ambassadors authorized to do this. Congress can only act to FUND agreements actions or not, they cannot bypass the Executive and go make their own deals directly with foreign powers or influence actions or outcomes.
They can’t go around the executive and throw a wrench in the works. Not in their “official” capacity.
So I am pretty sure that in his “official” capacity Graham cannot negotiate or influence. But in the capacity as a citizen he can go visit but can’t make any binding deals or influence outcome because that would then violate the Logan act.
“Just look at all the little neocons lovin’ on that freaking POS Graham.”
What if it had been Pelosi? Or Schiff? Or Nadler over there stirring the pot and making deals without the Executive branch?
I used to have respect for Bannon.
He seems to have gone off the deep end.
Correct. Wayyyy beyond the pale.
SMH
No politician should be allowed to visit a foreign county in the capacity that Graham did without the consent of the POTUS. Period. So yes, Graham should have his passport revoked and forced to remain in Ukraine. That will send a message to any other warmonger out there.
I've been on this earth for 63 years and have yet to see them enforce that act. I have no expectation they will start with Linda.
And I agree. They should have enforced it many times but they never did. And they probably never will. If there was ever a time to start it would be right now.
Linda loves to play soldier, as long as it’s not his own blood and guts being torn out.
It's Lindsay, not Linda.
And he isn't playing. He is a legitimate Senator doing what he thinks is best. Disagree to high heaven, but it's nonsense to wail about banning his return arresting him.
Linda still hasn’t stopped his mouth. He acts like he is president now.

Listen to the flat out arrogance of this traitor. He is trying to run a damn coup. He says he once “told Trump” yada yada... Who the hell is some podunk creep from SC think he is anyway?
I want him in jail. I did not vote for this turd.
Sorry. He is not the President and he is not an advisor to the President. President Trump would not send LINDA and DaNang Dick as people who speak for him.
I imagine Joe Biden or maybe Adam Schiff think what they want to do is best. Right? And that is okay too? Undermining and showing disrespect to our President in foreign countries is not okay with me.
