Former Vice President Joe Biden ripped into Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Friday after the senator requested documents on Biden, Graham’s old friend, to pursue a pet conspiracy theory of President Donald Trump’s.
“I am disappointed, and quite frankly I’m angered by the fact — he knows me,” Biden said. “He knows my son. He knows there’s nothing to this.”
If Biden can turn Miz. Lindsey back from the Dark Side, then I’ll know he’s got that bi-partisan mojo workin’ and I’ll vote for him (in the primary. Definitely in the general if it comes to that). Otherwise . . .
Lindseymat* is plan C, after plan A failed (Kelensky announces investigation) and plan B came up empty (Barr’s excellent world tour for fake intelligence).
Were the state department to provide these materials to Graham wouldn’t that undermine their refusal to respond to similar demands from house democrats?
That’s fucking absurd and you know damn well it’s not a fair pre-condition. Graham has been entirely co-opted and is as owned by Trump, his own self-interest and his personal white nationalism as the rest of them and the fact of his behavior over the past couple years proves him an irredeemable tribalist white nationalist kkklown.
More accurate to say that they ended up not having to go through with their end of the quid pro quo because Trump got caught first. Zelensky was 100% going to make that announcement on CNN.
He could have gone on CNN, but did not. He followed the sound advice of Taylor and others. He did not yield in the end, and he gets full credit for that.
