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.

“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 absolutely agree... Here is what you and I see. If his “mission” was to warn Putin and make threats about sanctions why did he even need to go there to do it? Was he going to physically go to the front and yell it at Putin over the gunfire? Putin is not going to pay anymore attention to him than if he yelled it from right here.
so to do what he claims he was doing he didn’t even need to go. And if his beef was with Putin directly then what would meeting with Z accomplish towards that objective? Nothing, meeting with Z would have absolutely no bearing on his beef and issue with Putin.
So it begs the question if he had no actual practical productive reason to go then why did he? Knowing Graham like an open book, There is only one logical reason he did physically go there and it was to stir the pot with Z personally. He went there to go around the executive branch and make a secret deal with Z personally.
“You keep this great war going and we will get you the money even if we have to go around Trump to do it”.
There was absolutely no other logical reason he needed to actually go there...
“either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back”
There’s a third option perfect for a traitor.
Give him the Philip Nolan treatment. “... is sentenced to permanent exile aboard US Navy ships. He is forbidden from ever touching US soil or hearing news of his country.”
(Too bad the story is fiction.)
You nailed it. That sounded exactly like Lindsay talk.
Pompeo was over there too. I would guess he had a very big role in this. Germany, France, and UK too.
Now Graham is blabbing about forcing Trump to fund it all. He has taken over foreign policy and is bragging just like Zelensky.
The real war is right here at home. Those criminals in Congress are not playing for America.
2. They have enough blackmail on him, don't they, to where they can control him? Or are only Democrats that smart? Don't answer that. We all know republic-nts aren't smart enough to get blackmail on their opponents.
“The real war is right here at home. Those criminals in Congress are not playing for America.”
Absolutely right. All but five are completely loyal to the coming Global NWO... And Graham is a straight up front line salesman for the MIC and CIA.
Apparently Trump did not have any knowledge of or forewarning of the Ukraine attack on Russian long range bombers. Obviously, it was a very successful surprise attack, that could potentially ignite WW3. This could have huge implications for the US. The big question is what did Graham know and when did he know it?? If he knew the details and extent of this attack in advance, and didn’t advise the President, shouldn’t he be held accountable??
Nobody says Graham is the president. But he is a Senator, and Congress can consider sanction resolutions. President Trump has not addressed the sanctions issue so far.
But the issue of this thread is whether President Trump should ban his return, which is nonsense because Graham has done nothing illegal and banishing him to Ukraine isn’t plausible.
President Trump can call him to the carpet and he probably will.
“shouldn’t he be held accountable??”
Of course! And for about 10 other treasonous acts in the past.
He needs to be treated like the traitor he is.
We are to the point that one of these days people are going to have to put up a fight and it won’t be online fighting. One guy in the WH can no longer do it alone.
The US appears to have been overthrown.
Actually, come to think of it, I can’t believe we are all playing this game where we voted, we won, but the President is not allowed to act as President due to lawfare and people are operating foreign policy behind his back.
And we are pretending it is just an inconvenience that will soon be overcome. Geesh.
Graham is a sick, sociopathic war pig, who along with Victoria Nuland and Anthony Fauci is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
Trump not only needs to cut Ukraine off, he needs to cut Graham off.
There is NO national interest in Ukraine. The base is sick of spending money and wasting resources on this war. It is undermining Trump's and an American First agenda.
Trump needs to walk away from it permanently.
“The US appears to have been overthrown.”
Oh yes, many years ago now. Knowing this makes it pretty easy to predict what will happen next. They have openly shared their game play book and shoved it in our faces with arrogance knowing there is nothing we can do to stop them.
“And we are pretending it is just an inconvenience that will soon be overcome. Geesh.”
I am now personally disgusted with humanity. I don’t know if it is something in the water or in the air or both, but there is a blinding Fog that is greatly impairing any and all perception, vision, and logic in mass.
To even think Trump was going to step in and completely fix this country in two years is absolutely inept. To even think they were going to LET him fix this country is inept. It is just impossible with the very real massive redundancy they have had in place for years already.
It is just the reality of it. This is war, and they might let us win a battle now and then to keep us calm while they put even more redundancy in place, but they will win the war in the end because we refuse to acknowledge they are doing it.
We could actually still win this, but human nature has already dictated it will not happen. If we were not lazy, personally selfish, and unwilling to sacrifice it could be done. But our lack of strength to fight those traits will be our own downfall.
The mirror does not lie, we have no one to blame but ourselves for not making sacrifices a long time ago when we should have. We had the chance to follow the money to the head of the snake and refuse to feed it with our trust, souls, and labor.
And to go hot? Useless action. They already have us imprisoned in a prison Nation with borders. We are already incarcerated. And they could care less what faction defeats what faction withing the walls of this prison. They will still own and control that prison no matter what the outcome is. In fact they would love it if we killed each other off in great numbers. It fits right into their end game of reducing population anyhow.
“ What if it had been Pelosi? Or Schiff? Or Nadler over there stirring the pot and making deals without the Executive branch?”
I don’t care if it was Senator Cruz. If it breaches any law then they need to be accountable. All I asked is if Graham visiting broke any law. Or is Bannon rambling on.
Yeah, that’s rationale, Steve Bannon.
Just like his proclamation that Trump will serve a third term.
I can’t argue with it.
What if it had been Pelosi? Or Schiff? Or Nadler over there stirring the pot and making deals without the Executive branch?
That’s exactly right. I have not yet seen any democrats go to Ukraine during this Trump negotiation process Russia/Ukraine.
It would be a shame if democrats now feel safer doing exactly the same thing in a day or week from now (but with the intention of savotaging Trump)
Slippery slope
I can see Schumer now, the Logan Act for me but not for Graham?
There is NO national interest in Ukraine. The base is sick of spending money and wasting resources on this war. It is undermining Trump’s and an American First agenda.
Trump needs to walk away from it permanently.
You are 100% Right on all the points.
1) Russia had no right to invade Ukraine.
2) I think we should not enrich the Russian economy when its government acts like this but There is national interest in Ukraine. It’s a European problem,
2) I’m no fan of neither Putin nor Zelinsky. I dislike them both.
mistype:
2) I think we should not enrich the Russian economy when its government acts like this but there is no US national interest in Ukraine. It’s a European problem,
“I can see Schumer now, the Logan Act for me but not for Graham?”
I don’t think that is a worry though. They are both on the same side with this one. They both want this war to continue because they are both honorary representatives for the MIC.
Until he puts on a uniform and puts himself on the frontline, he’s playing soldier.
