Graham: It's An Impeachable Offense If Trump Fires Mueller 'Without Cause'

[DonViejo]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday said that it would “probably” be an impeachable offense if President Donald Trump fired special counsel Robert Mueller “without cause.”

“If the President fired Robert Mueller, do you think that would be an impeachable offense?” conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt asked the senator in an interview.

“Probably so, if he did it without cause, yeah,” Graham replied.

“Now Angus King said no, last hour,” Hewitt said. “Why do you think it would be?”

“Well, I think what the President will have done is stopped an investigation into whether or not his campaign colluded with the Russians, what effect the Russians had on the 2016 campaign,” Graham said. “I can’t see it being anything other than a corrupt purpose.”

Later in the interview, asked whether congressional Republicans would be willing to impeach Trump, Graham compared the situation to a hypothetical involving former President Barack Obama.

1. "If he did it without cause."

Like hurting the Republicans chances in the Midterms wouldn't be "good cause" in
Grahams mind...

[Mr. Ected]

2. This is only because Trump has yet to identify the "cause"

The Republicans in Congress will accept any bullshit cause proffered by Trump at the time of the firing.

And Lindsey Graham will split hairs and say that he didn't misspeak in this instance because a cause was given.

This is how they operate. Every. Single. Time.

3. "without cause"

GOP's two word salad. Untrustworthy GOP will try and find a way . . . "deep state" bullshit.

4. Weasel-speak

Yes, unless the KGBOPP* decides there is cause.

*KGBOPP - GOP+KGB+with a peepee tape

5. Graham is a spineless loser. Has no honor.

Trump could walk up the constitution and light it on fire, and graham would still say something like "if this was criminal, this could be an impeachable offense."

6. If the President does it, there is cause

That is what would be argued and Graham fucking knows it.

So, Graham knows Trump might indeed fire Mueller and Graham does not care enough to do his fucking job. Typical Lindsey. Gets his face on TV and does nothing.
