Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., stated Friday that he doesn't support calling former President Barack Obama to testify in his review of the Russia probe because of Obama's executive privilege.

“Executive privilege” does not pertain to deliberate acts of treason which is exactly what this was.

Graham SAYS “because of executive privilege” but he THINKS “because it’s too big a political risk”.

But limp linda is ok with the democretin "wreaking havoc" President Trump's executive priviage.

linda was biggest part of "in-the-mueller-we-trust" clique of rinos in congress.

also obama is no more president. so why he should have any privilege?

the whole swamp is rotten. so retired or ex people keep their privileges, secret clearances etc.

this should end right away. we are already paying them pensions. that should be enough.

also if they commit any crime,felony they should forfeit pension also.

The real reason is that the real treason would come out.
Obama was never eligible.
Both parties violated the Constitution.

Congress does not prosecute crimes of ex presidents.

Perhaps Graham is afraid that Obama would name him as part of the cabal. We know that McCain was deeply involved, and Graham was his best bud.

He doesn’t want to get to the truth although he constantly gives it lip-service. Let’s figure out why he’s always covering for his “good friends across the aisle”, and while we’re at it let’s look into his ties to China.

Since he never wants to go to bat for us or our president, let’s strike him out.

Judgment in Cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted [ie AFTER HE IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE] shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
U.S. Const., Art I, Sec 3, Cl 7 [parenthetical statement mine].

Obama can be constitutionally indicted, tried, judged, and imprisoned AFTER he leaves office.

Graham's blowing a big smokescreen talking about "executive privilege" for committing treason (read "it's too risky for my political career"). What a lot of B.S.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.
He was never eligible to be President.
He was born with multiple nationalities.
His British subject/Kenyan father made him a British subject/Kenyan at birth.
Obama even admitted it on his now defunct “Fight the Smears” website.
The children of parents who are not in their own country when the child is born still bestow that nationality upon their children, that’s Ted Cruz claim to US citizenship.
He is not a natural born citizen because he also was born with multiple nationalities.

Natural born citizen are naturally citizens because they have only one nationality and can’t possibly be anything else.
The founders chose natural born citizen to preclude foreign influence on the office.
Anyone born with any other allegiance, loyalty or nationality is who they were excluding.
To be a natural born citizen you must be SOLELY an American.

No president, including Trump, is ever going to let this happen. Because if they make a previous president testified and they’re just opening the door for someone to do it to them later. That’s why Bush was never going to investigate Clinton’s misdeeds. And Obama was never going to investigate bushes. Their respective voters might have wanted them to, but it just wasn’t in their interest.

Goober is ball-less. Dodge, weave, cover, camouflage, but do not take an issue on directly.

Tell the eunuch to just not bother.

"Lindsey Graham on why he's not in favor of calling Obama to testify"

Maybe the Judiciary Committee can work around the absence of BO (zero) by using an empty chair as did Mr. Eastwood in 2012.
