2. Remember when Trump "outed" Lindsay's personal cell phone #?

Why on earth would his malicious acts stop there? Lindsey is not just a tool, but a fool to be thinking otherwise.

4. It may be for something that is guaranteed to destroy him

The more he cow tows and grovels and squirms and snivels and humiliates himself, the worse I think it is. I’m sure he would much prefer to hide under his desk, sucking his thumb and clinging to his blankly in a cold sweat, but evidently he can’t. He seems to have no choice and would probably prefer to lose his next election than to defy Trump.

Whatever they have on him, Graham must feel it's really bad and would destroy him.

Maybe they set him up with an underage boy and took video .. so he isn't just facing a loss of his job and status - he could be looking at jail time.

He was a very outspoken critic of Trump during the primary. Trump's Russian pals probably took care of their Puppet President by getting Kompromat on Lindsey

9. Because he was best buds with John McCain, a man who loathed Trump,

Lindsay would be an idea target for a sick asshole like Trump. Trump will reduce a person that John McCain admired to nothing, but that won't be enough for Trump, he in the end will demolish Lindsay, because in Trump's sick mind, that kills off memories of John McCain defying him.

Maybe what Trump has on Lindsay is something that Trump can plausibly soil McCain with, even if McCain just glancingly knew about it, Trump and his chronies will take McCain down with Lindsay.

Lindsay Graham can end all this by ripping his shirt open scarlet letter style and telling Trump that he can't destroy anyone.

He really, really has the look of a person whose soul is tortured. Whatever Trump has on him must be potent stuff. Lindsey must drink himself silly at the end of each day.

"Lindsey, you've gotta tell you the Russians told me they know many, many things about you and what you did. They have proof."
