Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News on Thursday that now that special counsel has been appointed to investigate alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Congress should abandon their own investigations and go back to focusing on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails.
“I don’t know what caused the appointment. I haven’t seen any evidence of a crime yet. The bottom line is I respect the decision, but this pretty much shuts Congress down,” Graham said. “Democrats, you got what you wanted. You got a special counsel. Now we’ll just move on. We’re not prosecutors.”
“There’s a new front opening here. I have reason to believe that there are emails between Clinton campaign officials, democratic operatives to the Department of Justice regarding the Clinton email investigation that happened on Obama’s watch. I have reason to believe those emails exist,” Graham said. “I’m on the Judiciary Committee. And I think it’s important that the Judiciary Committee be given any emails that were directed to the Department of Justice by Clinton campaign officials or operatives because we have jurisdiction over the Department of Justice.”
You know every time I start to think that maybe Lindsey Graham is not such a douchenozzle after all he does something like this to remind me that of course he is.
How many tax payer dollars have been wasted investigating Clinton emails so far now?
Somebody should alert Donald Trump to the fact that THIS is what an actual witch hunt looks like.
THIS is the result of religion - Little Lindsey believes; therefore it MUST be true. (This is also the aftermath of Santa! and Disney. Most people grow out of those last two. Unfortunately, Freud and Marx were correct. Religion is just the adult version of those make believe practices. Also unfortunately, engaging in them as an adult doesn't disqualify one from voting.

Delete"the value of honesty is being routinely disregarded by Donald Trump supporting Christians who call it a VALUE"hese commands are not merely shall nots, but have an imperative flip side of shall dos."
" come to their defense, speak well of them, interpret everything they do in the best possible light."Being honest with one another is fundamental to a neighbor-love ethic for without honesty there is no trust and without trust there is no love.Christian Trump supporters from spouting all kinds of falsehoods and defending the virtue of their pathological liar-in-chief. From excusing his rape culture and racist rhetoric to denying the realities surrounding the Trump/Russia investigation, his followers have forsaken their values for his con game which they believe to be the only way to “save the country”.
"These same people hold others, especially opponents to their dear leader, like Hillary Clinton, to impossible standards of honesty and transparency. The few days Hillary Clinton “hid” her pneumonia from the American people is a case in point. She was given no grace for medical privacy in the midst of a ruthless campaign schedule in which she showed more stamina in one campaign week than Trump has mustered in his nearly 20 weeks in office."evidenced by his frequent vacations, golf outings, short working days, and policies that harm every single person in this country and endanger the already fragile ecosystem of the our shared planet."Christians who come to the defense of Donald Trump by excusing his lies and quite harmful rhetoric while attacking Hillary Clinton by seeking to destroy her reputation though faux scandals and impossible transparency standards are violating one of the commands they believe should be enshrined in statues and the MORAL conscience of the country. it is the harm to our democracy and the neighbors of all faiths and NONE that is most concerning."Here we are rooted in the value of honesty that empowers us to tell the truth of today and work for a better tomorrow for all."

"I had her"
"Donald had her"
"treat women like 'dOOdy'"
mafia tone....
The day that Hillary Clinton's walking pneumonia was announced she actually spent more time at the commemorative event (can't recall which one) that Trump did. And it was hot and she had a fever. Her physical stamina was amazing throughout the campaign, especially when compared to Trump who wanted to spend every night home in his own bed. Did he more his bed to the White House?

All this investigating of Clinton, finding nothing is such a waste of time and $$$. Maybe this is their goal, waste time on this to avoid doing the REAL work of protecting citizens and the country. I hope people are finally waking up to the true nature of gop politicians, and vote for the country in the future. The dems. do not have a single politician as DUMB as tRump. They nominate intelligent people for high office, not the dropouts and the dregs. No matter how much money tRump has, he will never have CLASS or manners. Uncouth as a member of some biker gangs or Mafia member.
ReplyDeleteRepublican members of Congress seem to be incapable of doing anything that moves the economy along, that benefits the vast majority of Americans or that help the rest of the world. If they didn't have some one, preferably a woman, to investigate to death, they'd have to admit that they simply don't like being legislators.

Lindsey Graham and his little buddy McCain are what I call spokes pigs.
ReplyDeleteWhen there are reporters around they can't help but run their mouths and hog up the cameras. They want everyone to think they are badasses; be it Fox or reputable media. Lindsey likes picking on women,
Hilary, Susan Rice . . . .Makes him feel manly, even if it makes him look idiotic.
So Miss Lindsey doesn't know what caused the special counsel to be appointed. Let me take a stab at this, Miss Lindsey. Could it be you wingnuts stellar record of not being able to accomplish anything with all the odds stacked in your favor? Might it be your inability to charges, indict and convict HRC of any crime after 35 years of constant investigations and phony false flags?
ReplyDeleteWingnuts are particularly bad at 2 major jobs-governing and indicting and convicting enemies of their party.
Maybe these old white god awful looking men can't control their women?
ReplyDeleteThey gotta control something.
Come on women, get busy resist change. Begin in your homes in gop homes.
Sick of seeing fat old ugly white men.
Who knows..we could have had a woman President not this illegal liar prezidunce.
I can guarantee you that GOP women do not to defer to their men in all things as dictated by scripture. Far from it.
DeleteMelania, Ivanka, and Mrs. Pence do.
DeleteWell of course it's Hillary's fault. Can't be their old white friend they put into the WH who happens to be the biggest threat to nat'l security and the American way of life.
ReplyDeleteFollow the money!!
ReplyDeleteWHITEWATER LAND DEAL!
I mean, BENGHAZI!!!!
I mean, PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER!!!
IMPEACH PRESIDENT CLINTON NOW!!
(eyeroll)
Doesn't this speak directly to the incredible incompetence of our Republicans in office?
ReplyDeleteThey've had what? EIGHT congressional and senate hearings into Benghazi - from where the "e-mail scandal" came?
Hillary endured 11 hours of hard-line questions during one Senate session. They hammered her for eleven hours
...and ended up with nothing.
Hillary has been investigate and exonerated over and over and over...
And yet -- our current president says that "no other politician in history has ever been treated worse..." than he has been.
The ghosts of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy shouted in unison "oh fuck you!"
Lady Lindsey's john boy> ALMO$T
ReplyDelete"McCain on Sunday called Lavrov “nothing but a propagandist” and “the stooge of a thug and a murderer” who “had no business in the Oval Office.”
