I think Lindsey Graham is paying lip service to the whole leak thing.

I think Graham, like McCain, is a RW dick who is an American before a Republican. Graham has to throw a bone to his GOP fellows to keep the committee from flying apart like the one in the House.

When the hearing started and I realized he was the one 'chairing it' I thought oh fark here we go. It was a punch to the gut. And then, he didn't say much. I was absolutely shocked he didn't do a Grassley!!

Now, those POSs Cruz and Cornyn and Kennedy....

He bounces between RW nut job and an actual American Senator with ease. Give him time.

I'll never forget McGramps supporting the Con because he was the ReTHUG candidates.
Both like to paint a picture of loyalty to country but when push comes to shove they side with ReTHUGs no matter what.

You know that old saying, "Put your money where your mouth is".

That's all I've got to say about that.
