Graham blocks resolution calling for Mueller report to be made public

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday blocked a resolution calling on special counsel Robert Mueller's report to be made public after it passed the House unanimously.

Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) asked for unanimous consent for the nonbinding resolution, which cleared the House 420-0, to be passed by the Senate before they leave town for a week-long recess.

"There is no good reason, no good reason that the special counsel's report should not be made public. The American people are overwhelmingly for the report being made public. They have a right to see it. No one should stand in the way of that," Schumer said from the Senate floor.

But Graham, a close ally of Trump's who chairs the Judiciary Committee, objected after Schumer refused to amend the House-passed resolution to include a provision calling on the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate DOJ misconduct in the handling of the Clinton email investigation and the Carter Page FISA applications.

1. I'd pay $20.00 to know what it was that somebody obviously has on Lindsey Graham.

[sandensea]

4. Whatever it is, it probably involves two rent boys and a whip.

Leather, optional.

[COLGATE4]

22. Don't forget the ball gag

[sandensea]

25. How silly of me.

Thanks!

[SergeStorms]

26. And an elephant shaped...

butt plug. Ouch!

[sandensea]

36. Or Trey Gowdy's head

That man does not look human.

[Codifer]

38. I always confuse Gowdy

with the boy who played the banjo in "Deliverance".

Could be.

[sandensea]

40. +1

Did you know Jimmy Carter helped fund that movie as governor? He created the Georgia Film Office, which helped make Georgia a popular location for the film industry.

Though not necessarily the best films - but oh well..

[SergeStorms]

50. Look at...

how many other states started film boards after that. Jimmy was a ground breaker in many ways, habitat for humanity being the greatest.

[sandensea]

54. True.

The GOPee has been very good over the years at pigeon-holing Carter as "the gas line and hostage president."

But he certainly accomplished a lot in his relatively brief career in politics - not least of which was popping OPEC's oil bubble, and thus making the "Reagan" recovery possible.

[mitch96]

52. Probably a brother from another mother of Rodger Stone...

He's got a weird head also... Congenital anomaly?

[sandensea]

55. That, or a lot of moonshine.

[padah513]

35. I come here sometimes after a crappy day

Just looking for a laugh and I am never disappointed. Thank you!

[sandensea]

37. You're very welcome

We're here all week.

[Cryptoad]

5. They have finally figured out a way

to juggle , wash and transfer money into untraceable offshore accounts.

[sandensea]

7. Bingo.

And I suspect a lot of it's going here:

34. a concise summation

[MBS]

19. Ditto. n/t

[Botany]

20. What did Trump tell and or show Lindsey when they went golfing about 1.5 years ago?

My guess is a video of Graham being spanked as he was on all fours wearing a cowboy hat,
ass less chaps, as he yells out to the male whipper "give it to me boss lady."

Or then again i could be wrong.

[MyOwnPeace]

24. What?

You don't think he would yell out "boss lady?"

[Botany]

33. I'm not here to judge.

Bottom line is that Vladimir/Russian mafia/Trump have something on him. Old mob trick you let somebody stay some place "safe" and you turn on the cameras. For years J. Edgar Hoover never went after the mob because they had pictures of him getting busy.

Btw Graham might have been yelling out "dirty cowboy" instead.

[MyOwnPeace]

46. Thinking about.........

what he might have yelled out is just too "YUCKY" for me!

As for Hoover, he probably could have made a killing with photo-swaps ("OK, I'll give you 2 of **** for 3 ****&quot , you know, like we used to trade baseball cards!

As for "Dear Lindsey" - yeah, somebody's got something, for sure!

[certainot]

42. maybe the way to get this 'behind' us is to find some other kompromat to devalue whatever it is

the russians gave trump

[mitch96]

53. Graham is so far up tRump's ass he does not know it's dark, brown and smells bad...

And yes, I believe rump has leverage over Graham...

[trueblue2007]

29. I would pay $5,000.000 to know the dirt on TRAITOR Lindsey Graham !!!

[Honeycombe8]

47. I don't think it's blackmail. He's too enthusiastic. I said that about Trump, too.

Trump didn't act like he was being blackmailed. He was too happy and enthusiastic to do Putin's bidding. Too happy to see Putin.

Same thing w/Graham. He's too enthusiastic. He's been bribed with something he can't refuse. I wonder what it is. I'm guessing it happened on the golfing greens. Graham changed after one of the times he went golfing w/Trump.

"I like you, Lindsay. You're fair, you're fair. But I would like you to be more loyal to me. Can you do that?"

G: "I took an oath to uphold the Constitution."

T: "I know, I know. I'm not asking you not to do your job. But just be loyal to me, too."

G: (stares off in the distance, silent)

T: Come on. I'm a nice guy, right? I'm trying to get things done. You're happy with what we've worked together to get done, aren't you? I make deals. I'm the best at deal making. Do you need some help negotiating a deal for a vacation house in the Bahamas? Or an apartment in New York? I have connections all over. All over. You just let me know, and I'll make some calls. I'm just asking for loyalty while we try to get these wonderful things done and to help keep the witch hunters out of the way. I'm being persecuted so unfairly. And there are all these things interfering with all the things we both want to get done."

G: (We'll never know what G responds.)

2. Water boy. . . . nt

[ArizonaLib]

8. Graham cracker

or Milligram cracker

[emulatorloo]

3. Still SMH that Carter Page is the hill they're decided to die on. Dumb as hell.

And no doubt they don’t really want to know the full story on Trumper FBI agents leaking to Giuliani. That’s where the true misconduct lies.

I know he’s not serious and this is just a sleazy tactic to keep people from seeing the Mueller report.

But still

[certainot]

44. all this ammo they have came out of team limbaugh's ass

another result of the left orgs and dem party ignoring talk radio

the handling of the Clinton email investigation and the Carter Page FISA applications.

they create bullshit and then keep running with it

the whole email event was made up with hillary needing a private server as all other SOCs would, but especially because she knew the cons would get her emails, pick through, and feed them to the radio gods to distort at will and repeat and repeat

[ffr]

6. Now we know Lindsey's in with both feet in this consipiracy against the United States.

LOCK HIM UP!

[dalton99a]

9. Lindsey Graham is a full-fledged traitor.

[Vinca]

10. Trump doesn't need a dog when he's got Pence and Graham by his side.

Hooza good boy? LOL.

[yellowcanine]

11. Has Lindsey been to the Trump brothel in Florida?

[Leghorn21]

12. His metamorphosis is complete

[SunSeeker]

14. LOL

[chowder66]

21. Perfect. nt

[SWBTATTReg]

45. Ouch! This has got to hurt! nt

[SunSeeker]

13. He is such a slimy asshole.

[democrank]

15. Who is Lindsey afraid of?

He acts just like a Gumby doll. Bend me, shape me, any way you want me.

[edbermac]

16. It will get out there somehow if it gets blocked.

I’m old enough to remember Daniel Ellsberg.

[gldstwmn]

57. I agree. Right to the Washington Post

which is sure to make Trumpet's head explode.

[moondust]

17. The tyranny of one asshole.

Not good representative government when one craven asshole can thwart the will of the entire House of Representatives.

[FiveGoodMen]

18. Thanks. That's what I was just going to say.

[Codifer]

43. The Graham cracker

is the fascists demolition man. A "mechanic".

The confirmation hearing for the supreme court seat is going badly? Call lindsey out of the hearing and tell him to blow it up. When he returned to the hearing that is exactly what he did.... and it worked!

He got a new mission today.

He has no soul.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. What do they have on the pearl clutcher?

[dalton99a]

27. Most likely illegal campaign contributions and/or unbiblical acts

[gldstwmn]

58. It's got to be illegalities.

No one cares that he's gay. His constituents are going to vote for him no matter what.

[DoctorJoJo]

28. Lindshe Kompromat Digging Himself a Major Hole!

[hibbing]

30. Clinton email, still? n/t

[asiliveandbreathe]

32. Perhaps we have a Democratic Senator the likes of Gravel...maybe a retiring Dem. Senator....

Mike Gravel, the former Alaskan senator who publicly released Daniel Ellsberg’s Pentagon Papers by placing them into the congressional record in 1971 -

[The Genealogist]

39. I hope Trump gave his lapdog a nice biscuit

Wonder what they told old Linds they had on him during that golf game. Whatever it is, I'd wager it is pervy.

[Eliot Rosewater]

41. And yet, LOOK at what the House did, weird

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-unanimously-passes-resolution-calling-mueller-report-trump-be-made-n983221

CONGRESS
House unanimously passes resolution calling for Mueller report on Trump to be made public

Graham is dirty with Russian money.

[watoos]

48. Don't fall asleep people,

America reminds me of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The new Republican party, the Trump party, is comprised of creatures who are not human, who have no compassion, who have no power of critical thinking, who are zombie like in their devotion to Trump.

Then again maybe it isn't about falling asleep, maybe it is about watching the M$M. That's why I spend so much time on DU, it is a safe haven for sane people.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

49. Trying to protect his alpha male

[Eyeball_Kid]

51. It's plain as day.

Graham has his eye on a White House job.

[gldstwmn]

59. Good. Get him out of the senate. n/t

[gldstwmn]

56. It's too bad there isn't a viable candidate

to run against Lindsey Graham. We need to take the senate back.
