Why did Graham change his vote to aye?

That's what I'd wanna know. I hope it's because Graham knows something about what actually happened and that the sleazebag democrats left out much of the conversation with McCarthy. Sliced and diced just like they always do.

Could be because Graham plans to move for reconsideration. Any voter on the winning side can do that.

I’m not saying that was his motive, just tossing out a possibility. Senate protocol usually has the party leader make that motion, and most often the protocol is vote is rendered final bay making and tabling motion to reconsider on unanimous consent.

Senate is likely negotiating the number and form of witnesses to be allowed.

Democrats and the Graham wing of the GOP must have decided the impeachment theater is good for them.

Because Lindsey Graham lied to Pres. Trump and told him if his legal team did not bring up election “Fraud”, that the impeachment trial would be over quickly and Trump woudl be acquitted. Lindsey told him if if did bring it up, more Republicans woudl vote to convict (blackmail). Lindsey got his behind the scenes buddy Mitt and company to help him stab Trump in the back one more time. Notice how McConnell just said that he will vote to acquit right before the witness vote in the Senate. It was a set-up by Lindsey, Pence, McCarthy, McConnell, Cheney, etc. to screw Trump. These people are awful. Worse, the Dems may not let Trump’s side have witnesses.

Graham’s aye vote may have something to do with the rules. If a person votes aye, they can later bring up some parliamentary inquiry.

If anyone knows more, please comment.

To open the door to the next phase of the FACT attack that exposes the democrat steal. That’s why. And the dumba@@es on the d side are against the wall desperate. The joke hours yesterday proved that. They think they can rewrite the Constitution, while the Conservatives are following it to take them out.

Note that yesterday— Swallwell was notably gone- out searching for more twitter FAKED blue check “tweet” “evidence”. Remember, on live tv, that Swallwell called Tucker Carlson a Russian agent (Carlson took a break, and when he came back on, Swallwell was gone. Ordered out of the studio). Swallwell IS A CHI-COM agent who is STILL on the House Intel committee (and a member of the “Gang of 8”).

Watch the actions of the Gang of 8— all of them, and the “team players” who are the remaining House and Senate members of Intel. Who have lower access clearance than the 8
And let’s think— JUST WHO HAS the Biden reports at that level- not Biden, he can’t remember or assimilate a damned thing. So the apparatchiks are in control.
