The Lindsey Graham Question
This is giving me a headache the size of a 1956 Buick.
Does Donald Trump have dirt on Lindsey Graham that causes Graham to act like a bubble off plumb OR did John McCain have dirt on Lindsey that caused him to act semi-sane?
Graham is head of the Senate Judiciary Committee and he is giving free legal advice to a subpoenaed witness before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also headed by a Republican. That’s screwed up, y’all. That’s nothing more than attempting to belittle the very institution and political party that Graham has spent hid life trying to build.
Graham told Donald Junior to plead the Fifth when he testifies. “Then,” explained Graham, “it’s all over.”
Ya think? Honey, pleading the Fifth doesn’t make it all over any more than Barr’s lies about Mueller’s report makes it all over.
He’s head of the damn judiciary committee and he’s giving advice like that?
So Graham is saying that what this country needs right now is more cover-up.
Yeah, that’ll do the trick.
Does trump have dirt? Did McCain? I’m betting the answer is yes.
1A retired JAG Corps colonel telling someone to ignore a legal issue. A hypocrite of the highest order.
2Just remembering how they trotted out a prosecutor to grill Christine Blasey Ford. Now we offer up some Linseed defense lawyering advice. Take the Fifth? Ollie North liked it. You will too!
By the way, here is Lindsey / Kate McKinnon making an analogous posit ala JJ’s “…more cover-up.”

3Lindsey Graham is nothing more than a political windsock. He goes whichever way the prevailing wind blows.
4Fears of being “primaried” has castrated more than one formerly semi-sane Republicans, albeit not to this degree.
5Isn’t this a violation of a bar disciplinary rule?
6Maybe McCain didn’t, but I’m willing to bet either Trump or Putin (Is there a difference?) has something Miss Lindsey doesn’t want to see the light of day.
7Being from SC which is completely insane, Lindsey needs to act completely insane to ward off a primary challenger, who will be more insane. In order to survive, he has to get Trump’s support to insanely support Lindsey’s insane behavior to SC primary voters, who are…completely insane. Insane, isn’t it?
8had a 56 buick , trans poor, suspension crapy, rust prone body but a beautiful car…..
9I’m pretty sure Kevin Spacey is lined up to play Graham in his biopic.
10El Jefe, wouldn’t a self-respecting person just quit rather than go through that farce of an ordeal? I ask merely for information.
11I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV nor did I spent the night at a Holiday Inn so please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe Donnie JR. can take the fifth. Muller has declined to charge him and if you aren’t going to be charged I don’t believe you can’t take the fifth. Am I wrong?
12Deb, good question! Pleading the fifth usually does come along somewhere in the line of criminal investigation. Usually a lawyer will whisper something in the client’s ear and said client will then do the fifth. I recall seeing televised criminal investigations that went down the tubes like that. The fifth turned out to be just another way of saying “I’m guilty as hell!” Graham is not doing Donnie Boy any favors. I bet both Dons don’t know that.
