Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday said President Donald Trumps administration has a blind spot when it comes to Russia.
I think that the Trump administration is slow when it comes to Russia. They have a blind spot on Russia I still cant figure out, Graham said on NBC News Meet the Press.
Trump in August signed legislation imposing tough new sanctions on Russia but in October blew past the legislations deadline for issuing regulations or other guidance on the subject.

Graham: I would urge Trump to talk more about the fallen soldiers
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 10/22/17 11:09 AM EDT
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said that President Trump should talk more about the four U.S. soldiers who were killed in Niger earlier this month, instead of continuing his war of words with Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.).
"I would just urge President Trump, lets talk a little bit about the four soldiers. How about a little time on who they were and why they did what they did, and all those like them," Graham told NBC's Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press."
Graham's comments come as the president continues to dispute with Wilson the nature of his phone call to the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was one of the soldiers killed in Niger.
Wilson said last week Trump had made insensitive remarks to the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson when he told her that Johnson "knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt."

Despite Russias harmful national interests against the U.S., and its human rights violations around the world, President Trump and his team are directly and indirectly tied to Russia.

Is there a connection we're missing? We'll hunt it down.

Everything is political to the Republicans. There is no right or wrong, simply, did we do it? "right"; did they do it? "wrong".
The country is in the hands of a treasonous sociopath, but these pretenders only see the -R after his name and protect him for their own self-preservation.
With so many traitors in our midst, it's hard to believe in the USA that I learned about in Civics classes all those years ago.

(2,785 posts)Trump who is the head of your republican party colluded with Russians to steal the election. You know this too your just trying to play dumb so you don't look like your in it with the Russians yourself. Remember when you ask Trump to give you any records of business dealings he had with Russia? and instead he sent you a certified letter from his lawyer that worked for the Russia law firm of the year that said he had no business with Russia? That must have been enough to satisfy you ,because you said nothing about it. A clear sign that you were never serious about holding Trump accountable.

(32,628 posts)He could lose it all if he gets convicted on the RICO charges. (The Feds will get him on the money laundering even if there's no impeachment trial.) That includes his kids' inheritance too unless it's already been put into blind trust. He said he would putting everything into blind trust, but I don't think he's done it.
That's why these emoluments lawsuits are starting up, and they're only a small part of it.
Just sayin'
