This is a pretty obvious bit of semantics, but (1) what took somebody at Graham’s level so long to say it out loud and (2) why is he the only Republican politician to have said so to date?
Occam’s Razor suggests many unflattering reasons why…
Sounds like a pleasant way to spend a long weekend in HELL with Dump
Guess Kelly has the weekend off
All this talk of informants and people flipping makes me think some people think someone did something he shouldn’t have. Yet they don’t come out and say it.
Oh, Lindsey! Is that phony honor of yours popping up again? Just take another hit off the pipe with your rent boy and that will solve that problem.
And yes, I made a gay joke about that Republican piece of shit Lindsey Graham. So hire Alan Dershowitz and sue my ass.
Oh, and someone asked Donald Trump if he had ever read the epic poem “Beowulf”, to which he replied, “I liked the TV series better - you know, the one with David Hasselhoff and the female lifeguards with the big jugs.”
He’s going to have to ride on the back of the golf cart after that misstep.
Clearly there’s a lot of shit going down. All these guilty pleas for perjury basically guarantee it. If there was nothing happening, then nothing to lie to the FBI about… And the holdouts, like Manafort, aren’t contesting their innocence, per se, only that the way the evidence was collected means it should be thrown out.
The only positive note about this whole deal is that, looking at how eager the Russkies were to throw millions to two-bit wanna-be mobsters like Cohen, they probably didn’t get a whole lot for their efforts, just a bunch of wasted money.
What’s the matter, Lindzers honey? Has the bloom fallen off the rose?
All this talk of informants and people flipping
…The Aristocrats!
Unless your goal was to sow chaos and discord, break decades-long relationships between the U.S. and oh so many western countries and generally fsck the U.S., causing them to have to drop their long-standing claim to be the “Leader of the Free World”. Then, it was a pretty cheap operation that appears to be paying off Bigly… 
Getting yelled at the whole way. But maybe he likes that.
“…rules saying you can’t, you know, you don’t want investigations to change political cycles.”
Riiiight. Only phony bulltshit rumors of investigations re-opening days before an election should change political cycles. Right, Comey?
Hugely bigly. And that isn’t even taking into account the damage that each of the cabinet secretaries is quietly (or not so quietly) doing to the infrastructure of the government.
Lindsey’s late to the garden party…again. And tepid to boot.
Only on short-term gains. Yes, short-term, they got the U.S. Presidency (a Pyrrhic victory, as it’s turning out, very few of the rewards they expected. No let-up in sanctions or anything like that), and probably worse, Brexit.
But those served as wake-up beacons to the West, who had largely become complacent in the post-Cold-War era. All those stagnating militaries throughout Europe and America, downsizing because all the ‘smart’ people at the think-tanks were sure that the only wars that would be fought would be the ones in shithole countries that nobody really cares about (at least from a Euro-American-centric viewpoint, I’m sure the residents of said countries may disagree).
And the most annoying thing, an America where lots of people insisted that there was no difference between the Republicans and Democrats appear to be finally waking up and realizing that there is a substantive difference.
So, naw, America’s pretty darned resilient, and I have confidence that we’ll use this all as a good wake-up call, and Russia will come to regret waking us up too early (i.e. before they had completed snagging Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics).
But a horse is a horse
Of course…of course.
Hey Lindsay…
Toss out a McDonalds french fry on the tee when two scoops is in his backswing…just for funsies.
Not good enough, Senator.
The time for weak assed talk and half-measures is over. This is the time for picking sides. Are you with America or with the traitors?
t. is a spy who has surrounded himself with other spies.
Anyone who opposes him gets called a spy by him.
Talking out of both sides of his mouth again, so everyone hears what he or she wants. The protocol is already in place, you mealy-mouthed invertebrate—threats to the security of the United States are investigated by its intelligence community PERIOD now go golf and get hit by lightning.
How long until Huckleberry is forced to do a 180 on this one?
