Lindsey Graham is supposedly a new convert to the MAGA movement.
Almost immediately after traitor John McCain died, Lindsey Graham appeared to have a change of heart.
He began backing Trump on policy matters, and when Justice Kavanaugh was under attack, Lindsey was the point-man for his defense; delivering one of the most impassioned political speeches ever.
Lindsey’s speech last year was a “game-changer” and MAGA rallied around the South Carolina senator and embraced him as a new and important figurehead in the movement.
Graham even took over Chuck Grassley’s place as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee – a very powerful position for a Trump ally. Now Graham can make things happen, issue subpoenas, investigate the bad guys…

So why isn’t he?
Graham is all talk and no action.
When I say he’s been “useless” in this fight against the coup, I am being kind. Useless is too “busy” of a word to attach to do-nothing Graham — that’s how ineffective this supposed powerful “justice-seeking” Trump “ally” has been.
Sure, he talks a good game. You can find Lindsey on a whole host of Sunday talk shows and some evening ones too. He’ll even pop up on Fox News in the morning, screeching about fairness and telling everyone what an injustice this impeachment hoax is.
A new theory has emerged as to why Lindsey Graham refuses to help Trump by dragging witnesses begore the Senate and placing these liars, like Hunter Biden, under oath.
Independent journalist Paul Sperry believes that the reason Lindsey refuses to hold hearings is that we might learn that he was working with traitor McCain to push the dossier to smear Trump.
What do you think about this theory? Could Lindsey be covering for himself?
Tucker also has concerns.
He railed against Lindsey for not using his power as chairman.

Top Republicans in Washington, D.C., and right-wing media personalities have started to sour on Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for not using his power as chairman to call for public hearings to get to the bottom of how the Russia investigation started and for not calling on Kurt Volker, former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine, to testify in front of the committee while Democrats in the House push for impeachment.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called out Graham during an interview Monday evening on Fox News over Graham’s inaction.
“Senator Graham has the power, he’s the chairman of a powerful committee, the Judiciary Committee, and yes, I’ve encouraged him publicly and privately to do this,” Paul said. “He needs to go ahead and exercise his power, we’ve been waiting a long time on this.”
“A lot of us want to see it get started, we want to see subpoenas, and we don’t want to see everything done in secret on the House side and then they parse out what they want to parse out,” Paul added. “Most of those people that are testifying over there could easily be asked to testify over here.”
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson also highlighted multiple promises that Graham has made on cable news but has not followed through on.
“I’m deeply disappointed in Lindsey,” a former senior White House official told The Daily Wire. “I always thought he was someone you could count on, he sure proved me wrong.”
“I never knew him to be the type to make empty promises, especially when the stakes are so high,” a source close to Graham told The Daily Wire. “I am sick of walking around town making excuses for him.”

It is a very astute observation many including myself noticed. It was far too obvious and talked about quite a bit when it happened. How could you have missed this?

Oh, you notice almost immediately that something appeared to happened?
I'm no match for 'yourself' then.
He along with most of the other senators are light weights.
I was listening to Marco Rubio last night on some show. I was straining to hear that bas*ard say one positive thing about Trump.
I can’t understand why our side has to be “fair.” Like this Romney trying to act like he’s independent.
Damnit our president needs support. I think basically Graham and the rest of them are cowards.

But now you have me curious about another observation. It appears you are are in damage control mode with this. Trying to figure out why you would defend Graham's reputation? Is it simply patriotic defense of McCain's reputation being extended to Graham? Or something else?
When you’ve been tied to the war machine as long as he has.....t’s not easy to get released. Like the mafia, the grip on DC pols is very strong. He’s got to decide how he’s gonna be re-elected while riding Trumps coat tails as an original anti Trumper.
Graham is a lying weasel. I’m frankly worried that if Trump gets impeached, Graham will be a vote for conviction (and provide cover for many other RINOs to do the same). This is a dangerous man.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All I needed to see was that incredible speech he gave defending Cavanagh which shocked the Democrats and threw them back on their heels and ensure that he would be confirmed
That one speech expose the treachery and perfidy and the absolute scum nature of the Democrats and trying to pay this honorable man with a long track record of being a gang rapist
All this other daily kerfuffle is just that
You keep repeating this phrase, but you have never - at least to my knowledge - actually supported the core assertion. What exactly is a citizen, and why is a piece of territory "their country"? Depending on whose in charge of definitions, can't anyone be a citizen, and can't ownership change hands over time? Can't we look to history and conclude this is actually the entirety of human experience?
Who - if anyone - is actually defending your claims that N America is "our country"? I don't see the military protecting "the country". Rather, I see the military as offering great career opportunities for ambitious officers - as long as they get to play in key strategic playgrounds (none located anywhere near/on the actual borders) with the newest, fancy and exotic toys.
What I believe you fail to address is no one "owns" any geographic unit (land, sea, space) unless they conquer, occupy and defend it (continuously, for perpetuity). If the common man is too stupid to realize that he's being conspired against, and that his entire existence is nothing more than some dumb mute animal peaceful grazing on oats, then why oh why should the elite respect any aspect of his existence?
Isn't that the case here? The Bushes et al have simply concluded that the current set of recalcitrant, entitled serfs need to replaced by less disagreeable and argumentative stock. After all, weren't docile Euro cattle substituted for ornery, hard to manage & control longhorns?
I would suggest to you and others of your persuasion to dispense with any assertions of moral certitude and/or claims of possession. It simply doesn't exist; a chimera, a mirage. Rather, there is simply power - who has it, who exercises it, who enjoys it. No one should place any faith in paper dictates or temporal, fleeting oaths of fealty and duty. Those that do, nurse certain expectations, deserve everything they get and are continuing to receive.
Trying to figure out why you would defend Graham's reputation?
I never did that.
I simply commented that THIS was a poorly thought out and written article.
If you see more than that, then you are overthinking.
All talk and bluster and no do.
just queer isn’t it?
Sure you did, You deflected from and tried to discredit this concept in ideology which is right on the money with good observation...
“Almost immediately after traitor John McCain died, Lindsey Graham appeared to have a change of heart.”
And it’s true, he did. Now I am just curious why you would go out of your way to do damage control against this statement and perspective.
Sure you did...
False.
You are either stupid, or a liar.
Either way, I have no time for you.
I have considered that possibility numerous times but I have refrained from positing that theory on here to avoid being branded a troll.
You do have to consider that possibility though.
To be honest, if Trump was going to get taken down, I’d rather it be by Barr & Durham than the politicized circus of the House. Is that bad? I feel like Barr wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t legit.
If you are a congress critter saving taxpayer money won’t get you rich or powerful. If you are a Republican congress critter then it pays FAR better to be in the out party of a tax and spend congress.
I’m sure Hillary has copies of Lindseys FBI files she got from bar bouncer Craig Livingstone when she was first lady.
Just to obvious,just like Supreme court Chief justice Roberts
Would that Lindsey had that kind of character and courage. His track record doesn’t give me a lot of hope.
