Lindsey Graham 'not interested' in calling Mueller to testify before Judiciary Committee


Lindsey Graham ‘not interested’ in calling Mueller to testify before Judiciary Committee

Lindsey Graham has no plans to ask White House special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

The South Carolina Republican, reached by phone by McClatchy as he traveled on official business in Rwanda, said he was “not interested” in hearing from Mueller, the lead author of the just-released report detailing the years-long investigation into whether President Donald Trump colluded with Russia and obstructed justice.

Graham could face increased pressure to invite Mueller to appear before the committee, which he chairs.

U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-New York, has asked Mueller to come speak to members of his panel, and Attorney General William Barr said at a press conference earlier Thursday morning he had no problem with Mueller testifying on Capitol Hill.

Why should he allow Mueller to interfere with Lindsey’s precious relationship with the shitgibbon?

He just requested Mr. Mueller's testimony. So, go fuck yourself, you self-loathing sack of shit. I'm beyond ashamed to have you as my Senator.

and impeach Trump and then the Senate will be forced to hold a trial and several more items should come out and while it's not likely that the GOP senate will vote for removal it will at least cause a trial and embarrassing testimony.

The truth will come out no matter how much these Trumpist criminals try to redact and run from it.

There is no other explanation for his conduct in protecting Trump.

One can only imagine what it is.
