Using the word "lynching" to describe Constitutional oversight is a racist screed.

It's either pictures of Lindsey with boys, or proof that Lindsey has accepted money from the Russians and has been for several years!!!

Or, maybe Lindsey is a card carrying member of the KKK and has been photographed at meetings he use to attend...

The most likely reason is that Graham enjoys power and control...or he's just a dick!!!

It is a "lynching", but all the Democrats are doing is handing the ropes back to you assholes, and letting you hang yourselves. And, y'all are racing to beat each other to the gallows. Go fuck yourself, you self-loathing, little boil on the ass of humanity.

once removed, their finances should be investigated to ascertain the extent to which they are influenced by foreign players. His conduct has been reprehensible, even embarrassing. He's openly engaged in self-humiliation. You can see in his back-and-forth fight with his moral compass that he's compromised. Is it Russian money? Has he concealed assets in overseas accounts? Is it more complicated than that?

convict Trump in his impeachment trial "regardless" of whatever evidence is brought up?
Shouldn't he be disbarred for undermining the justice system on this?
