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.

All waiting for the path to develop for impeachment, regardless of the source and/or veracity of the claim(s).

Swampcritters who want their swamp left alone.

Biden committed a quid pro quo crime. The problem is, he is a rat 🐀 and we all knows rats 🐀 get a free pass on everything. Tell me how this differs from the French Revolution. Or the American revolution.

*** I’d like to see someone primary against him...maybe like Nikki Haley. ***

Nikki is no fan of Trump, and she’s as big a petulant shrieking hissy fitter warmonger as Lindsey.

"This is the answer I would've gave. He means. they got nut'ten"

Exactly. What's he supposed to say to a question like that?:

"No, even if clear and compelling evidence is found against the President that warrants an impeachment, I'm still not going to follow the evidence."

That would be plain stupid.

My email:

…………………………

Senator Graham if you think America will sit still while the Democrats, media, intelligence apparatchiks and beltway law firms, etc attempt to toss our president from office you should think again

It will cause people in the streets Antifa could only dream of and the distinct possibility of a civil war of some sort nobody can foretell

Let the power go out a few weeks

You should choose your words more carefully than you did today

Please

I don’t want what appears inevitable for my children and grandkids....I’m old

Ask yourself if you’ve ever seen anything like this concerted effort since even before the election to throw the man from office

It’s rotten and I hope you have the wisdom not to be a part of it

Thank you

No crime, no impeachment support is all he said.

The headline is deceptive. He said only if evidence of criminal behavior emerges and he's said none exists.

Lindsey knows it would be political suicide to vote to impeach Trump.

“ Graham has been Trumps biggest supporter in this impeachment scam..”

Not true. He’s done nothing with his committee to shine light on the real corruption - with FBI, CIS, Obama and Biden

Lindsey didn’t vote for Trump in the 2016 general election, and he’s not providing meaningful support now. If he’s not going to use his committee to fight corruption, he should forego his congressional salary

Graham is not the only RINO who is a disgrace.

Yes. Exactly. This is just CNN trying to fan the flames. He had to state that. If Lindsey said, 'no, under no circumstances will I vote to impeach', the headline would have been "Graham will ignore crimes and vote against impeachment".

For those saying the Senate won’t do anything to Trump - this is all you need to see.

After all the crap the media has completely fabricated already about Russia, Lindsay Graham says this! FFS!

Translate: ‘Yeah sure, get me some more fake evidence, I’ll vote to impeach, just do better at faking the evidence’

Now I ask you what is it with the on again off again Never Trumpers mental condition that causes them to constantly and gratuitously undermine the President? It’s as if they can not resist bashing him every chance they get, even when they have nothing of substance to say. It is disgusting, very old, and it’s very sick.
