Graham to introduce resolution condemning House impeachment inquiry
The Hill ^ | 10/22/19 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 10/22/2019 8:05:46 PM PDT by Mat_Helm

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is planning to introduce a resolution condemning the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry process, and argued that any articles should be dismissed in the Senate without a trial.

"This resolution puts the Senate on record condemning the House. ...Here's the point of the resolution: Any impeachment vote based on this process, to me, is illegitimate, is unconstitutional, and should be dismissed in the Senate without a trial," Graham told Fox News's Sean Hannity.

“should be dismissed in the Senate without a trial,” Graham told Fox News’s Sean Hannity.”

This is a key point. The Senate Republicans need to work out whatever deal is needed among themselves to secure enough votes to cut off a Senate impeachment trial at the knees.

That’s nice of Linda. Maybe he should back him up 100% for a few months and stow his BS policy attacks over idiotic things like Syria. Maybe he should be bringing all the pressure he can against GOP senators who are viewed as non-reliable. Maybe he should be cutting off Romney and calling out his BS.

A letter to the house is weak.

It is not a letter. It is going to be a Senate Resolution. Will enjoy watching the debate and all Republicans called out front and center to support the President.

A Senate floor resolution vote will squish this whole idea of any Republican defectors. It will be a public vote and notice for all Senators and where they stand, including all Democrats on historical record for allowing the House to hold secret impeachment hearings. What happens next time it is a Dam President and Republican House?

I hear a bunch of whiny posts. This is great news.
Lindsay is checkmating Pelosi and Schiff.


Ha ha ha ha. Trump supporters are jailed and/or financially ruined. Criminal coupist Democrats are free as birds. The proof is in the pudding, FRiend.

Graham can put his stern letters where the sun don’t shine. Coupist Democrats certainly don’t care about them and more importantly will not modify their behavior one bit because of them.

Again, Lindsay could not call up these people under investigation by the IG and Barr/Durham until the IG report comes out.”

The people Schiff is deposing behind closed doors are not under IG investigation. Lindsey could call them before his committee and let all the world learn what they’re saying and what’s going on. That would put an end to Schiff’s star chamber

Graham is really good at looking like he is doing something.

Especially at election time.

Re-electing Grahamnesty is asking for amnesty and he will tell you that AFTER you re-elect him.

Lots of people are falling for his McCain two step.

Some think he has become a new man and is no longer the amnesty loving war-monger he was groomed to be by McCain.
Skunks don’t change their stripes.

I have faith that soon a lot of whaling and nashing of teeth is coming by Dems and the media. I have faith the truth will come out and these people will go to jail and begin to rat each other out. The impeachment boat is sinking.
