Graham: Entire Senate disagrees with Trump on Russia hacking
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 27, 2016 | Al Weaver

Posted on 12/28/2016 4:42:20 AM PST by kevcol

"There are 100 United States senators. Amy Klobuchar is on this trip with us. She's a Democrat from Minnesota. I would say that 99 of us believe the Russians did this and we're going to do something about it," said Graham, who is planning a hearing with McCain on Russia's interference with US elections. "We're going to put sanctions together that hit Putin as an individual and his inner circle for interfering in our election

Holy carp. Graham is such an idiot. Even in the lowest courts in the land, it's not what you believe or know. It's what you can prove. So this moron is ready to risk WWIII because of what 99% of a body of idiots/professional-liars BELIEVES??!!!

I am absolutely certain that President Elect Trump has something in store for Senator Graham. One day, soon, Graham will find himself standing in quicksand and sinking. Quickly.

They weren’t even ‘leaks’. They came to light when Podesta fell for a phishing scam. He was told it was a phishing scam, but he chose to click on the link provided to change his email PW ... and the rest is history.

Ask him to name specifically what was hacked ... we know it was not the voting machines, we know it was not Podesta’s emails -— so what was hacked and how did that effect the election? - No generalities, please - specifics only.

The results of the investigation that Obama demanded to be placed on his desk before he leaves office must have been done in record time.

I am still pondering how Putin forced so many thousands to attend Trump rallies, and not only attend, but enjoy doing so. Not to mention how Putin forced me and tens of millions of other Americans to vote for Trump. I am referring to the primaries that predated the supposed hacking of the election.

Of course, how the election was hacked — the actual point of contact — is never alluded to.

Illustrating that Graham learned zero from his disastrous run for POTUS. The people are sick of hearing what the out of touch corruptocrats think. We want them to listen to what WE think. They never will...but Trump does. That’s why he can’t stop winning.

“I am absolutely certain that President Elect Trump has something in store for Senator Graham.”

I sure hope you’re right. It looks to me like Trump does not have an actual Majority in the Senate. There’s about 6 Dems that have been elected as Republicans. I am not sure how Trump will deal with them.

You can’t get an honest straight answer from any of them. It would be impossible for the Russians to have hacked ANY of our voting machines, but we know that the democrats did just that.

Assange says the Wikileak emails were from someone inside, not the Russians, although no doubt the Russians had the emails.

We know also that the emails were not fakes, they were real.

So, I’m thinking, as I’m typing, whomever helped in releasing the emails, helped our country.

In short, Thank God that someone did the job our media won’t do. If it were Putin...then thank you for that.

The all-but-openly-gay Graham is the current Senate media darling, and does not know when to shut up.

So let them investigate, so long as they wait for an objective basis for any conclusions, and haven’t already drawn them.

“Why do the good people of South Carolina keep reelecting this poofer?”

Two words: Open Primaries. This fiasco allows thousands of left-wing rats to cross over in the primary senate election and give Graham 50% plus one. Further, a good number of left wing rat state senators have changed their party affiliation to Republican, meaning the state senate will NOT close the primary to allow only Republicans to vote.

Assange said he got leaked copies from an insider.

These folks didn't just leave a window open. They left the garage door open, the front door ajar, and a pet flap large enough for a Great Pyrenees.

They had this lying asshat claiming this on the Sunday Morning news (Meet the Press?). The next guess was the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, asserting that the Senate had never received any evidence whatsoever to support this claim.

Julian Assange has said the Podesta hacks came from a disgruntled person within the DNC.

The voting machines were not connected to the Internet, yet 50% of dummiecrats believe the Russians changed the vote totals.

Yet, there is no concern about the English company, owned by Soros, who manufactures voting machines used in sixteen states. During early voting, voters complained that their votes for Trump switched to Clinton when they chose all Republicans in the down line races.

No concern about that. And what about the fraudulent votes in Nevada and other states? Multiple votes for celebrities and deceased people. Plus millions of votes cast by illegal aliens, probably millions alone in the People’s Republic of California.

Also, wasn’t it proven recently that Graham and other “republicans” received money from Hillary?

Remember how Trump got to where he is. He beat out 15 establishment types, Graham was one of them I think. Then he beat out the 99% guaranteed first woman president. He financed his own campaign. He doesn't have to pay anyone off and all his dirty laundry has been hung out to dry. They cannot dredge anything up from his past that hasn't already been aired.

Here is one way he can deal with recalcitrant senators.

Since Trump owes no one he will hire the best in the business at counseling him and congressional liason. The latter will act as the carrot. The former, like Gingrich, will know where the bodies are buried, where each senator derives his power and his campaign money. If the carrot doesn't work, Trump goes to the stick. When you separate the senator from his voter base and his contributors you cut him off. The same technique will be used to woo enough dem senators to side with Trump on certain issues.

If I can figure this out I'm sure a billionaire who doesn't smoke or drink or sleep and is a freaking genius can figure it out.

Dont these idiots have voters?

Just what the hell are they doing?

They vote for these asshats every 6 years, and then pretend to hate them.

The GOP didn’t cast ballots on their behalf.

Blaming the party is a cop out.

Maybe, just maybe, President-elect Trump knows more than the “entire senate.”

“Two words: Open Primaries. This fiasco allows thousands of left-wing rats to cross over in the primary senate election and give Graham 50% plus one”

So it wasn’t the multiple people that the conservatives ran against him, only to fail on their part to vote FOR ONE opponent?
