During Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearings for attorney general, top Senate Republicans asked her to support the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which federal agents have abused to spy on Americans. The FBI and Department of Justice used FISA to spy on former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, as The Federalist previously reported. Section 702 of the legislation allows federal agencies to collect communications of noncitizens, outside the country, without a warrant. It supposedly bars the government from spying on Americans, but the CIA was caught in 2022 using the law — which Congressional Republicans reauthorized last year — to spy...

Senate GOP hawks who receive large sums from the defense industry could be mobilizing to tank one of President-elect Donald Trump’s national security nominees. Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by Trump to helm the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, could face opposition from Senate Republicans with hawkish views on national security over her beliefs on Ukraine and government surveillance powers. Though a considerable number of Trump-aligned senators have endorsed Gabbard, citing her decades-long military service and commitment to reforming the country’s intelligence agencies that have been frequently weaponized against the president-elect, GOP senators whose national security...

South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham has sent an ominous message to special counsel Jack Smith as Donald Trump was on the precipice of being announced as the winner of the 2024 election. Early on Wednesday morning, mere moments before Trump took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida, to give his victory speech, Graham posted a note on X “to Jack Smith and your team”. “It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall,” Graham wrote...... In a conversation with the conservative podcast host...

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump expressed support for Israel’s offensives against Hamas and Hezbollah in a recent call with the country’s prime minister — a position that could complicate his campaign’s outreach to Arab Americans claiming he opposes the war. Trump told Benjamin Netanyahu in one call this month, “Do what you have to do,” according to six people familiar with the conversation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive and confidential information. Trump has said publicly that the two have spoken at least twice in October, with one call as recently as Oct. 19. “He didn’t...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defended former president Donald Trump calling Vice President Kamala Harris “mentally disabled” by arguing her policies are “batsh*t crazy.” In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Jake Tapper played comments from Trump at a rally Saturday in which he attacked the vice president’s cognitive function. “Kamala is mentally impaired….Joe Biden became mentally impaired, Kamala was born that way…If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country.” “First of all, there are actual people out there with mental impairments, and that’s insulting to them,”...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if the reports about Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, making controversial comments on a pornography website’s message board are true, he is “unfit to serve.” Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s start with the embattled gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina, Mark Robinson. Of course, it’s alleged he put these posts up, very controversial, on a pornographic website. He said he didn’t do it. Former President Donald Trump in North Carolina didn’t mention him and has not dropped his endorsement. Do you think that former...

Lindsey Graham talks to Hamas leader. 'Sinwar, we're not going to indict you. We're going to kill you.'

Tuesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called Democrat vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) “despicable” for taking a pass on responding to a question on the six slain hostages in Gaza. “So when you look at Israel in particular here, this administration has withheld armed shipments, and they haven’t gotten much especially compared to — especially compared to Ukraine,” host Sean Hannity said. “She — they have constantly called for restraint, restraint, restraint. They have blamed Israel, and they’ve done everything but what they should do, and that’s the right thing which say which would say, well, you...

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday pitched a fiery strategy for securing the release of Israeli hostages: threaten to bomb Iran. Well known for his hawkish foreign policy, Graham (R-SC) implied during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Tehran has the influence needed to entice Hamas into releasing the hostages. “If I were the state of Israel, I would tell the ayatollah if these people do not come home alive — the ones that are left alive — and if we don’t get the bodies of the fallen, we’re going to blow up your oil refineries,” he said....

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Democratic Nation Convention was a “hatefest full of insults.” Host Jake Tapper said, “Millions of viewers tuned in a bit more than tuned into the Republican convention. It was disciplined. It was well well-produced, it conveyed patriotism and unity. The Harris campaign says it’s raised an eye-popping $540,000,000 in 35 days. You are as close to Donald Trump as anyone is what he saw this week making him in his campaign nervous at all?”

He called on Western pilots to come and “fight for freedom” in Ukraine until Kiev can train its own airmen. American-made F-16 fighters have started to arrive in Ukraine, but there are currently not enough pilots to fly them.During a press conference in Kiev on Monday, Graham said: “If you’re a retired F-16 pilot and you’re looking to fight for freedom, they will hire you here““They’re going to look throughout NATO nations for willing fighter pilots who retired to come help them, until they can get their pilots trained.”The warmonger then added: “We’re going to get these jets into the...

Graham also took the opportunity to urge the Biden administration to send Ukraine the manpower and long-range weapons it needs to launch a full-scale attack and hit targets deep inside Russian territory.According to reports, Russia has yet to repel the Ukrainian incursion seven days after it began, as Ukraine’s top commander boasts that Kyiv controls around 600 square miles in the Kursk region of Russia.Sen. Graham, known as America’s premier warmonger, made the bellicose comments during a bipartisan visit to Kyiv with Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal.“What do I think about Kursk? Bold, brilliant, beautiful. Keep it up,” he enthused to...

Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) is ready to put his “political machine” behind former President Donald Trump in Georgia, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham told Fox News’s Hannity Thursday night that he attended a fundraiser in Atlanta on Wednesday, where Kemp vowed to aid Trump in the Peach State against Vice President Kamala Harris. “When [Kemp] spoke, the first thing out of his mouth, he looked at everybody in the room and said, ‘I want Donald Trump to win Georgia. I’m all in for Donald Trump. I’m going to give him my political machine,'” Graham recounted “I’ve got a...

Wednesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on the Israeli government to follow up on its air strike that took out Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this week. The South Carolina Republican urged Israel to “knock out” Iran’s oil refineries. “Well, the bottom line is they are a radical Islamic terrorist designed to bend on the destruction of the state of Israel for religious reasons,” he said. “They want you to bend a need to Islam. They want to kill all the Jews and change our way of life. So I introduced legislation today to...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), the ranking Republican member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked FBI Director Christopher Wray in a letter Friday to recant his testimony before Congress in which he questioned if former President Trump was grazed by a bullet or shrapnel during the attempted assassination at a rally in Butler, Pa. “It is clear to everyone that President Trump survived an assassination attempt by millimeters, as the attempted assassin’s bullet ripped the upper part of his ear. This was made clear in briefings my office received and should not be a point of contention. Therefore, I urge you...

A photo emerged of media magnate Rupert Murdoch sulking alongside Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) during Sen. JD Vance’s (R-OH) speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday night. (snip) “Rupert was in an ornery mood. He was lashing out at event staff and spewing profanity. He doesn’t like losing and this was a huge loss for him. At one point Don Jr’s face appeared on the Jumbotron and Rupert shook his fist and screamed something unintelligible,” a source who witnessed Murdoch’s tantrum said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham had to know of Biden's dementia before 2019 and he said nothing because he is obviously working for the other side.
