Lindsey Graham Will Continue Blue Slips for US Attorney Positions
judiciary.senate.gov ^ | 6/20/20 | Lindsey Graham, Chairman

Posted on 06/20/2020 8:53:15 AM PDT by cotton1706

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the Trump Administration’s intent to nominate Jay Clayton to be the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

“According to Attorney General Barr, the Trump Administration intends to nominate Mr. Jay Clayton to be U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. “I have not been contacted by the administration in this regard. However, I know Mr. Clayton and believe him to be a fine man and accomplished lawyer.

“As to processing U.S. Attorney nominations, it has always been the policy of the Judiciary Committee to receive blue slips from the home state senators before proceeding to the nomination.

“As chairman, I have honored that policy and will continue to do so.”

Graham is Mitt Romney’s twin sister.

Graham needs to be gone, no matter the cost. “

But he’s always on Hannity and talking tough!

Safely renominated, Lindsey can now return to being a tool for the democrats.


Can’t say I’m shocked but I am surprised he didn’t wait until after the election.

At this point this is simply no reason for any Trump voter to ever vote for the coup supporting GOP in the post Trump era.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Berman refuses to leave after Trump says SEC chief Jay Clayton will replace him

In case you do not know, the SDNY District Court judges voted unanimously to appoint Berman.
How could Trump passively watch that happen and do nothing about it for 26 months?

The Southern District of New York is probably tied with the District of Columbia as the most politically important judicial district in the country.


Ping.

Is this President Trump’s fault, too?

What a total asshole. Letting Schumer control that position.


We get the government we elect. Until the GOP fears GOP voters nothing will change.

Graham needs to be gone, no matter the cost. He is a viper clutched to the breast of the GOP and Conservatives.


Exactly. Frankly, none of the current GOP Senators are deserving of Trump voter support. They are all coup enabling Senators who have violated the oath they swore to the Constitution.

Graham was, is and always will be nothing but and empty suit.


Graham certainly was not an empty suit when he advocated for the Mueller Coup in 2017. Going so far as to threaten POTUS not to fire Mueller and write a Mueller Coup protection act.

I think Hannity is a deep state sop.I remember him as a Bolton supporter. There is a Biden campaign ad where in 2015 Graham is singing Biden praises and disparaging Trump. Hannity loves him some Graham. Hannity Ijust got divorced. Is Graham a homewrecker?

Hannity deep state operative? I doubt it. He just doesn’t have the intelligence and cynicism and just buys into whatever GOPe rhetoric that gets thrown his way..

Hannity is conservative for pay like nearly all the chattering classes. He got divorced and seems to be mailing it in the last couple years. Sitting there like a lap dog while GOPe guests spin on his program.

There is no jumping to conclusions. I am not referring to just this, but his history of inaction while saying he is going to act — and much of that was said on Hannity. The man is an empty suit and one not to be trusted. You can if you want, but I won’t until he backs up his words with actions.

Please just wait until Hannity has Graham in to explain why you and I need to support Graham because he’s fighting for us

Hannity and Graham will explain it all to us!

(Of course I won’t be watching. When Tucker’s show ends and Sean’s face comes on, the channel gets changed at my house)

Thanks for the ping martin_fierro.

Yep, linda won the primary going away as she always does with the rats crossing over and voting for her. The November general is a foregone conclusion.

McConnell should step up to the plate and tell linda no, but he's a RINO and won't.

Lindsey
Graham
ping!

Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.

Remember that linda is up for reelection in November.
Remember also that linda announced last August she is writing a Red Flag bill.
