With linda's prominent placement in the article headline, I expected to see her name in the first couple of paragraphs.

Then I remembered, this is CNN. linda finally shows up in the 12th paragraph.

When Lindsey Graham can’t be a pig in the mud for Saudi Arabia, I guess that is what he does. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3500475/posts

But...but...who needs a probe if it's already proven like we've been told?
Just release the information that proves it.

(they haven't thought this through, have they)

[Becky24]

We certainly don’t need him in Congress.

South Carolina can’t carry much pride when they point this guy out as being their representative....

[Texas Eagle]

Perhaps Lindsay Graham is Yuri?

Lindsey Graham, Democrats plan probes of Russia hacking
Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, the legislation’s co-sponsor and ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said “experts agree that there is overwhelming evidence that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election. Overwhelming,” Cummings said. “It is not disputed, it’s overwhelming.”

Why is a probe needed then? Just release the evidence, Elijah.

'Overwhelming Evidence' Russia Interfered with US Presidential Election: Rep. Cummings

Again with the "17 agencies" lie.

TWO agencies have commented...

Joint Statement from the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security

The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.
Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process.
Nevertheless, DHS continues to urge state and local election officials to be vigilant and seek cybersecurity assistance from DHS. A number of states have already done so. DHS is providing several services to state and local election officials to assist in their cybersecurity. These services include cyber “hygiene” scans of Internet-facing systems, risk and vulnerability assessments, information sharing about cyber incidents, and best practices for securing voter registration databases and addressing potential cyber threats. DHS has convened an Election Infrastructure Cybersecurity Working Group with experts across all levels of government to raise awareness of cybersecurity risks potentially affecting election infrastructure and the elections process. Secretary Johnson and DHS officials are working directly with the National Association of Secretaries of State to offer assistance, share information, and provide additional resources to state and local officials.

Is THAT your evidence, Elijah?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Maybe we should be investigating Lindsey Graham’s background, contacts, and who controls him.

[Godebert]

That little prancing faggot Graham is still fuming about Trump humiliating him in the primaries. South Carolina is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the nation for continuing to elect this filthy pedophile homosexual pervert dirtbag POS.

[Windflier]

Why is this Democrat allowed to remain in our party?

[broken_arrow1]

Same response as always - STFU Gohmer!

SC is a conservative state. Last election, Graham ran as a conservative. He avoided town halls where he could be called upon by disgruntled constituents to defend his actions. He instead, used fake telephone town hall meetings where the questioners were pre-screened and offered softball questions. There was no primary candidate who had NAME RECOGNITION running against him.

I blame the establishment Republican party.

[trebb]

Lindsey knows his days are numbered as far as anyone at all listening to him - if he wants to continue in politics he will need to join the Dems officially and become part of the howling mass of idiots - he will always be in the chorus and never get a solo.....

[Windflier]

“SC is a conservative state. Last election, Graham ran as a conservative.”

Well, I guess that explains it. Ol’ Lindsey fooled ‘em yet again.

Amazing how he’s managed to hide his record from South Carolina voters for so long.

[The_Media_never_lie]

SC voters are just not interested. They are not paying attention.

[Windflier]

“SC voters are just not interested. They are not paying attention.”

I think it’s always a mistake to make sweeping generalizations about a large swath of people, but there has to be some rational explanation for why South Carolina continues to elect that fraud.

A better explanation might be that the GOP keeps rigging the primaries in his favor. Some kind of ugly business is keeping that guy in place.

[9YearLurker]

Come on South Carolinians, if you must vote this jackal into office—couldn’t you at least vote him in on his real, Democrat team?
