CNN’s Manu Raju tweeted:

The real meaning of what Lindsey Graham was saying to the House

Besides the fact that Senator Graham was warning House Democrats not to impeach his new political daddy, there was a serious threat in his statement. Graham was saying that if House Democrats impeach Trump, the Senate is going to freeze the House out. There will be no more legislation from the House that will get passed in the Senate.

They haven't been allowing any of the House's bills to the floor, anyway, and that's not going to change until McConnell is gone.

They got nothing left to threaten us with.

... but he really sucks at it.

Like, "Be careful Democrats, if you try to impeach Trump, something evil might happen!"

Execute those subpoenas and hold public hearings and I hope there will be collateral damage as we hear about other republicans taking Russian assistance. As we hear about Nunes and others interfering with the investigation

Best is if we find out that Lindsey isn’t just a treasonous lying snake but is also compromised.

„Cool it already. You, as a House Manager, led the prosecution of Bill Clinton after impeaching him over essentially nothing, and I already said I‘m the Grim Reaper. There‘s nothing left to threaten them with.“

I just heard Brian Williams mention „Leningrad Lindsey.“

I don‘t follow other blogs much, but I haven‘t seen that term used elsewhere—not that it‘s much of a leap to get there, I‘m afraid.
