How does all this on messaging between fellow senators work? It’s kinda sick.

His performance near the end of the Kavanaugh hearings was compelling but as it all plays out, cheesy.

"“Because impeachment is not about punishment,” he said. “Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.” - Lindsey Graham, 1999, arguing that President Clinton should be impeached for…perjury.

Lindsey Graham is a piece of work. What’s he so frightened of? Just of the gay sex stories coming out? Is it as pitiful as that?

It’s got to be something more. But it is amazing how they manage not to notice what Cohen admitted to lying about.

If it was just about perjury, those charged, e.g., Flynn and Cohen, wouldn’t plead guilty in exchange for future cooperation, they’d just plead guilty. Trump seems to know there’s much more to come regardless of how he and his flunkies spin it now.

Plus he said this:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) dismissed Cohen’s new guilty plea, calling it “a process crime.” “I’ve yet to see anybody indicted for actually colluding with the Russians,” Graham told reporters

Which suggests either he does not know how prosecutors work complex cases, or he thinks we don’t know.

Or you could just never call Alan Dershowitz.

“I’ve yet to see anybody indicted for actually colluding with the Russians,” Graham told reporters "

Well the victim amputated 5 ways, eyes poked out, burned multiple times, tethered to electric shock equipment and taunted continually. His heart failed, but not from any specific, identifiable wound. So it wasn’t murder, just a process crime.
