Lindsey joins Democrats in approving Trump witnesses, tweets about delays

Lindsey Graham joins Democrats in backing witnesses, saying, ‘If you want a delay, it will be a long one with many, many witnesses.’

Former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial looked on track to last longer than expected after the Senate voted on Saturday morning in favor of calling witnesses.

Witnesses hadn’t been expected in the proceedings, but the lead House manager, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said on Saturday morning that his team wanted to call Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington state after she released a statement late Friday that said Trump on Jan. 6 resisted telling his supporters to stop storming the Capitol.

Those five GOP senators included four known for criticizing Trump — Maine’s Susan Collins, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Utah’s Mitt Romney and Nebraska’s Ben Sasse. South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, also voted for calling witnesses, after tweeting on Saturday morning that, “If you want a delay, it will be a long one with many, many witnesses.”

We know what Graham is. It hasn’t changed. Until/unless we get term limits, we’re doomed.

‘Senate held hostage’...

WHAT TOTAL LOONS —> ‘Trial first, witnesses after’

So the democrats will keep calling their witnesses until the Senate votes their way?!?

I think he wants Nancy Pelosi, auntie waters and a few others to be under oath. AOC would be fun to watch. He’s been awesome at impeachment and Supreme Court sessions. I wouldn’t count him out yet. I couldn’t be more thrilled this nonsense is extending. I hope it never ends. They still haven’t passed the stimulus. Lol. This is great and I’m proud of the republicans for wanting to call witnesses. It’s going to be hilarious.

What the hell is wrong with him?! A long delay is EXACTLY what the Dems want, to keep pounding away at Trump’s reputation daily for months.

Graham is either extremely stupid or a willing collaborator in the coup. Really, there are logically no other possibilities.

No S#!t,.
We need to wait and see how it all plays out and who Trumps team will call and listen to the X exam of the one(s) the prosecution brings on.
If the lies continue and the altered sound bits are any indication it could be a good thing.
Especially if acquittal is already a know factor.

“...one more institution will have entirely lost whatever confidence the people had left for it”

the intention is to force We the People to beg for world government intervention because things are out of control

and to use our institutions against those of us attempting to solve things internally independently, and “nationalistically”

When they engaged in partisan nonsense in the first impeachment he said he would call Hunter Biden and did no such thing.
Lindsey is a liar who constantly plays both sides.

Wasting time on the Impeachment and Witnesses, mean less time for them to ram their agenda through Congress. Trump will be acquitted and everything will be on the Congressional record.

My thoughts exactly. I hope this trial goes on and on so no legislation passes.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that. But we'll be good and sick of "impeachment" while those miscreants do nothing. Biden will do what his handlers want. Pelosi will be her usual Nanzi self. And Quack Fauci will keep the economy under lockdown.

The entire Capitol Hill Police force had a “no confidence” vote today on leadership! I say start calling the ex chief first, they were ordered to stand down by someone.

He wouldn’t have changed it if he didn’t have a plan. I’m sure it was discussed internally before he changed his vote.
