Lindsey Graham does not rule out the possibility of Trump impeachment if new evidence emerges

In another sign of the dangerous predicament facing President Donald Trump, his longtime ally Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview that aired Sunday night that he could not rule out the possibility of impeachment if new evidence emerges.

In an interview on "Axios on HBO," Jonathan Swan asked the South Carolina senator: "Are you open minded if more to comes out that you could support impeachment?"

"Sure, I mean show me something that is a crime," Graham replied. "If you could show me that, you know, Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing."

Swan was referencing Trump's request in a White House phone call to Ukraine's President for help investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden.

“No evidence of wrong doing by either Biden?”

What about that video of Biden when he spoke to the Council of Foreign Relations in March 2016? The video where Biden said he told the Ukrainians that the $1 billion in aid would be withheld if the Ukrainian prosecutor wasn’t fired for investigating Burisma?

Well, you need to buid up the expectations of the Left before they are dashed.

Mike Lee, probably. He has never been a fan of this president.
If this happens, Mike will probably try to convince his pal
Ted Cruz to join their group of ‘Mavericks’.

Ping.

"Sure, I mean show me something that is a crime," Graham replied. "If you could show me that, you know, Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing."

IOW- “ keep digging until you contrive the evidence we need to convict...”

Anyone really trust the republicans in the senate?

I don’t. Not a one of them. They will turn on Trump at the drop of a hat if they have a path to convict.

That's not LG's words, that's the DNC bolierplate that is in every CNN "article" (agitprop piece) about it.

Partisan Media Shills update.

If these creeps don’t stand up for Trump I might never vote again, which goes along with what the elites want but nonetheless, I will be done with politics...

Proof ? Evidence ? Cites ? Peer-reviewed studies ?

Hey, if CNN says something is so, we know it ain't.

his longtime ally Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s just BS, Flimsey Grahamnesty has made a career out of opposing what Trump got elected on, securing the border and enforcing the laws.
He’s running for re-election, he has to appear to be somewhat supportive of Trump.
He is STILL working on amnesty.

He needs to be Cantorized before he gives away our country.

I would never assume the Senate would not remove Trump.

There are lots of GOP Senators that don’t want us to stop the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
It’s been their life’s work to fundamentally transform the USA into North Mexico against the will of the citizens.
Getting rid of Trump is essential.

Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Lee, Romney, Capito, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

Pick 20.

So Biden brags about a “quid quo pro” and he’s not in trouble?

Graham is up for re-election in 2020. I’d like to see someone primary against him...maybe like Nikki Haley. I’d even donate a hundred for her election funding to get rid of Graham.

“They will turn on Trump at the drop of a hat if they have a path to convict”.

Then they’d better get used to looking over their shoulders.

“...Graham cracker’s still pissed that Trump’s president and he isn’t....”

This may be closer to reality than you think. IMHO, Grahamnesty has been stumping for the Repub primaries in 2024. He needs Trump to get things done for the country right now to prepare. The RINOs will take credit for all Trump is accomplishing in the run up to election. And now they are just playing politics by not associating with him in the form of serious support. Bastards.
