"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

Was Lindsey speaking for the entire Senate when he declared that Sec. of State Hillary Clinton “is a national treasure”?!!

Does Sen. Graham have a "list" of these 99 (of 100) names? Present it, big boy.

It’s a great leap from hacking and releasing DNC email, with no alterations...verbatim...to Interfering with the election.

The Senate would better serve the people by sponsoring hundreds of cyber security seminars around the country and updating the appropriate procedural manuals.

And passing a law to criminally charge any private entity with 500+ employees that does not adhere to minimum requirements.

Trump’s bully pulpit will make them all look as stupid and corrupt as they are.

It is a diversion, if you look at the emails it becomes clear that the MSM were colluding with the DNC to rig the election; coverage, townhalls, debates, and polling.

"... and we're going to do something about it," said [Linda] Graham

No, you're not.

Sit down, and STFU, Linda.

SHOW US THE PROOF!

The only ones talking about "the Russians" are Democrats, and Lindsey Graham.

But I repeat myself...

Graham does not speak for 99 senators. He is a useful idiot. I see CNN this morning playing this foolishness up.

Yes, I agree there are ways to deal with these obstructionists. Reagan got past a Dem House & DJT didn’t get where he is by being stupid or timid,

I am referring to the primaries that predated the supposed hacking of the election.

Interestingly, the government's position was that nobody could hack or was hacking the election until it became obvious that Hillary was losing.

Somehow we are supposed to believe that our intelligence services were all ignorant of the source of the leaks until they saw that nobody was showing up at Hillary's rallies.

wasn’t it proven recently that Graham and other “republicans” received money from Hillary?
______________________
I believe this was hinted at (w/o names or attribution) when findingassange was about to release a new tranche of emails.
Then, Julian managed to convince them he was alive and they pulled back to let him continue his own strategy.

It is widely suspected, but so far, no proof. That said, I have read that Trump is actively confronting the obstructionists. I have no idea what they might have , but I’m hopeful it is strong enough to curb them. Lindsey may feel a need to grandstand in the hopes of swaying enough Senators, but then, we don’t know what Trump is saying to them, either.

His team hasn’t bloviated, so far and there were assurances a few weeks ago that they were on this,so I’m going to wait and see. Trump didn’t come this far to suddenly cave to a Senate that sat on its hands for 8 years after abdicating their Constitutional power to zer0.

I believe he and McCain are deep in the pockets of the defense contractors and Trump has taken them head on. Lindsey and company may find THAT source of revenue drying up, along with the CF $.
