Emotional Lindsey Graham Begs Fox Viewers to Give Money to Trump
EMOTIONAL, MUCH?
“He’s spent more money on lawyers than most people spent on campaigns,” complained Graham.

An upset Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) gave an impassioned plea to Fox News viewers Thursday that indicted former President Donald Trump needs their money, and he needs it right now.

Speaking to Sean Hannity on a night where commentary on Fox News has verged on the apocalyptic as a result of the indictment by a Manhattan grand jury, Graham, historically one of Trump’s most talkative defenders in the Senate, once more gave a performance that is sure to keep him in Trump’s good graces.

Graham, looking bleary-eyed, would end up directing viewers to the presidential candidate’s website three times in the next two minutes.

“Go tonight. Give the president some money to fight this bullshit!” he begged.

1. Trump must really have some good shit on Lyndsey.

I doubt that Trump paid a nickel of his own money for lawyers. The RNC was paying them when Trump was president, I'm sure some domestic oligarchs are picking up the tab.

2. Trump has something big on Lyndsey, or at least in Lyndsey's

mind it is big and probably career ending. He’s a frightened man.

“He’s spent more money on lawyers than most people spent on campaigns,” … now there’s a compelling donor appeal. Bizarre, and says a lot about our political system.

5. He got $1.5 MILLION in 3 days after crying "wolf" on his indictment

Stories were already going out within minutes of yesterday's announcement about his new "fundraising."

Where the HELL does the money GO? It's like it's sucked into a black hole in space with no explanation. He gets it, it's gone, POOF. Vanished.

A Trumpathon, if you will. I'm sure Faux, Newsmax, and OAN will be happy to give him a block of 12 hours or so. And the musical guests they could have! Ted Nugent, uh... well, okay, but that's all they need right?

12. Oh sure, let's give more money to a tax cheat, plus more crimes not yet all revealed. ...

Sarcasm here, FYI.

I like to see his take on things, after all is revealed on the supposedly 30 counts number, that I'm hearing, which would kind of match up w/ the tax fraud that the tRUMP org. former accountant pled guilty to.

About time and if they do reveal the financial crimes, I want them to list the amount of taxpayer money that tRUMP stole in effect, by not paying his fair share, via cheating on his taxes (on all of the many different ways to cheat on one's taxes).

Splash it out there, Had to be in the $Billions of dollars when calculated over many years, IMHO.

I still have questions about his wealth.
The guy was in private practice for 15 minutes before he started running for office.
Then, he was in office & got wealthy. Wonder how.
His obsequiousness suggests it was not brilliant investment strategies.
