On Monday’s Fox News Primetime, Sen. Lindsey Graham discussed the upcoming impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump. Trump was impeached a historic second time for his alleged involvement in the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Graham believes the upcoming trial is unnecessary and strongly opposes witnesses being brought forth to testify.
“To my Democratic colleagues,” warned Graham, “if you vote to call one witness, none were called in the House, get ready for a long trial.” Graham went on to say, “But if you open up that can of worms, we’ll want the FBI to come in and tell us how people actually pre-planned these attacks and what happened with the security footprint at the Capitol.”
The threat of FBI involvement was welcomed online by those supporting the impeachment trial. It would also most certainly increase the length of the trial, something that Graham has stated he doesn’t want.
“You open up Pandora's box if you call one witness,” he continued. “I hope we don’t call any and we vote and get this trial over next week when it starts.”

Makes promises he never keeps.
a BOGUS mouth piece!
Schumer and Schiff: “Okay, we were nervous before but now we are downright panicky. Somebody get Lindsay on some sort of a leash. He’s a junkyard dog.”
OH NO! An un-Constitutional NAnZI Pelosi show trial that might last past lunch. Linda you’re a weasel.
If witnesses claim that Trump was lying about election fraud, he can respond, “I protest, but now that you’ve brought it up ....”
There should not even be a so called trial.
Don’t dignify this distortion of a cartoon now called The Senate.
Trump can simply counter with are you saying the hundreds of affidavits are these people lying too?
DeepState RINO Graham wants everything concealed, just like chIna McConnell.
He needs another vote to back that stern warning up.
Yeah.
They should expose the Democrats anyway. Treat them 20x worse than they’ve ever done others. Screw them over and then screw them over some more.
Not give them an implicit promise to play nice if they do.
That would be great if he means it but Linseed never means it.
Rand Paul OTOH would definitely do this.
I don't know if the power to call witnesses is held equally by all Senators though. Perhaps someone can clarify.
And WTF is it even going forward, you coward?
It’s already been alleged in the article of impeachment, so they opened the door for him.
And no Chief Justice. Totally unconstitutional.
Call in the Stasi to say what, exactly? The only thing that is a sure, is any Stasi agent called to testify will lie and lie against our President Trump. They have no fear whatsoever because I have a greater chance of being Captain of the starship Enterprise than a lying prejuring Stasi agent has of being in trouble. A lying Stasi agent will receive a medal for perjury, not jail.
And lindsey will ride that kangaroo all the way to 2026.
Trey Gowdy comes to mine.
