U.S. Senator Graham says supports Mueller bill, urges vote

[ffr]

Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said on Tuesday he supported a bill that would protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller from any politically motivated firings and would urge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow a vote on it.

“I would certainly vote for it,” Graham told reporters of the bill, which he supported when it passed the Senate Judiciary in April.

“I don’t see any movement to get rid of Mueller. But it probably would be good to have this legislation in place just for the future,” he said.

McConnell told reporters in Kentucky last week he did not think legislation was necessary because he did not think Mueller was in danger.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said he also supported the bill but would not lobby McConnell to allow the measure to move forward. - Reuters

I suppose Graham got a call from DJT informing him he didn't get the job.

1. All that ass kissing didn't work. Even betrayed your longtime friend for him.

Why the 360?

[Power 2 the People]

6. That has to be it.

He won an Oscar for his Kavanaugh performance and thought he had AG in the bag.

20. It did work for him in SC. His approval ratings were in the dumpster last year

and now they've soared. Graham's up for re-election in 2020 and that's what this is all about.

28. The writing is on the wall, trump is not an asset, he is a huge liability

They thought they could use trump for their gain, which they have in some way by passing crazy bills, but for some reason they thought the man-child would be seen favorably by more voters, now they realize he is no good for anything, and they need the next two years to try to clean the name of the republican party.

Amazing how SC voters don't see through this fake senator Graham.

I personally hope the man-child stays until the end of his period and then gets indicted, I don't want Pence to become president, I think he is worst than the man-child, and as I have said before, Pence can fool a lot of people into thinking he is normal, and good.

2. Good guess. n/t

[Hortensis]

13. Agree. Request for interview by FBI another possibility.

Graham's of course one of at least 4 senators who (via super PACs) received very large donations from Putin-linked donors, something like $800K to him according to what I read.

[rzemanfl]

16. Another good guess. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

3. The answer my Sen, is blowing in the wind...

[sheshe2]

4. LOL!

I suppose Graham got a call from DJT informing him he didn't get the job.

7. Is He Schizophrenic?

[Amaryllis]

10. THe one who didnt get the job.

[MrGrieves]

33. My first thought

Is he Schizophrenic?

[Andy823]

9. Could be

He knows McConnell wouldn't put it up for a vote!

[D23MIURG23]

11. Anyone else wondering if Lindsay Graham has an undiagnosed brain tumor?

[harumph]

12. Or, he has been made privy to extremely damning information and

does not want to appear to be running "interference."

[pecosbob]

14. "I suppose Graham got a call from DJT informing him he didn't get the job."

I had that very thought while reading the clip. On the mark.

[Lotusflower70]

27. He wouldn't call him

He would have someone else do it. He is ridiculously lazy.

[babylonsister]

15. I'm shocked but I'm glad. For now.

Such a hypocritical, two-faced POS will get his comeuppance.

[UniteFightBack]

17. Lindsey playing good cop and bad cop hmmmmmmmm nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. SOS, and I don't mean the distress signal

It's the same old shit from McCONnell and the merry band of Repukes -- no danger, no collusion, look over there!

They regurgitate the party line for everything.

[OAITW r.2.0]

19. Donnie has his emails (thank Putin)!

Too bad, he could have been an honorable person and fought the blackmail publicly, but he probably isn't going to get DOJ and now his muddle-ground doesn't mean shite.

[UTUSN]

21. "didn't get the job" - bwah-HAH but this dude gives me whiplash!1

[wiggs]

22. Don't think they don't have a plan. Lindsey will be AG and will be able to tank the report then. nt

[mastermind]

23. yep nt

[TNNurse]

24. I would not trust Graham with even the smallest task.

[George II]

25. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Glorfindel]

26. Ol' Lindsey ain't lookin' so good, lately...puffy face, bloodshot eyes

Wonder what could POSSIBLY be botherin' him?

[liberal N proud]

29. I wouldn't trust this wishy-washy ass

[Sophiegirl]

30. He sure has issues

making up his mind on a minute be minute basis.

[RhodeIslandOne]

31. Lindsay not getting the job

Fuck you, phony.

[JCMach1]

32. not being interviewed it seems

[Thekaspervote]

34. Wow!! Where did that come from. Honeymoon over? Not all sweetness and light in trumplandian?

[herding cats]

35. He makes me sick.

Kowtow and kiss the ring of Trump when it could potentially benefit him, and now he's back to playing his old games when it didn't? Yeah, Lindsay, I hope your constituents take note. You're a weak little man who will betray anyone and everyone, including your country, for any potential personal gain.

Screw him.

[ashling]

36. Look who crawled out of

Donald Trump's ass.

[LiberalLovinLug]

37. I wonder what side of the bed he'll wake up on tomorrow?

He should be thoroughly embarrassed by now all the hypocrisy, and boot licking he has done. His melt down defending Kavanaugh was downright pathetic.

Sometimes I wonder why he even bothers anymore (to make a feeble toss of a bone to moderates) Which are getting rarer and rarer. maybe some unrelenting guilty twang he gets from his best bud beyond the grave. Who else could he be trying to impress? No one believes a word he says anymore. Or more specifically, the conviction behind the words.
