Lindsey Graham’s Old Comments About Obstruction Sound Really Awkward Now
The South Carolina Republican had very different views on the matter in 1999, when President Bill Clinton was facing impeachment.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has become a staunch defender of President Donald Trump in recent years, but some of his old comments on the issue of obstruction sound a lot different than what he’s saying today.

Just last month, Graham used one of Trump’s favorite phrases.

“No collusion and no obstruction,” Graham said after Attorney General William Barr released his summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

But in 1999, Graham maintained a much stricter standard while serving in the House as one of the managers in President Bill Clinton’s impeachment proceedings:

Lindsey Graham 1999: He doesn’t have to say ‘let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime.
Lindsey Graham 2019: If the report indicates no collusion found by Mueller, done, over, for me.

Mueller’s redacted report spelled out 10 instances in which Trump may have attempted to obstruct justice. Yet Graham didn’t seem inclined to revise his views based on those details.


Graham, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also said on Thursday that he has no plans to call on Mueller to testify about the investigation.

“He’s done his job,” Graham said, per The Hill. “I’m not going to retry the case.”

That’s it? That’s all you got? Because that is
pitiful
just pitiful.

^^^ Diagnosis: Terminal Projection combined with Epic Flaming Butthurt ^^^

So you don't care that Russia violated and interfered with our elections in favor of Trump? You welcomed it?

Oh, I do care. I care about how the hiLIARY campaign, DNC, Perkins Coie, FusionGPS, Obama, the FBI, CIA, DOJ and other Deep State actors conspired with foreign agents in a coup attempt against Trump. We need an investigation into this.

I see now why you support Trump You too only have 1 oar in the water

Your boat sank long ago.

You're on the Titanic
According to a new report from the New York Times, Mueller has farmed out federal indictments to:

1) The SDNY, in Manhattan

2) The EDNY, in Brooklyn

3) The EDVA in Virginia.

4) The U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles

5) The U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington DC

6) The DOJ National Security Division

7) The DOJ Criminal Division

All no-pardon zones.

The entire second half of the report is a laundry list of indictable crimes committed by Donald Trump.

The report was supposed to be about the Russians. But he kept finding so many crimes he had to send them to other places to be prosecuted. That’s why there’s so many notes in the Mueller report about redactments for ongoing investigations.

Oh My God this is terrible
The report depicted a chaotic environment in the White House in which aides scrambled to avoid carrying out orders by Trump that were potentially illegal or self-destructive, and where his press office lied to cover for him.

In all, Mueller and his team cited 10 episodes of potential obstruction.

Former White House counsel Don McGahn told investigators that Trump asked him twice to tell Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to fire Mueller. Fearing that such a firing would trigger another “Saturday Night Massacre,” like the one carried out by President Richard Nixon in 1973, McGahn decided to quit, telling then-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus that the president had asked him to ‘do crazy s***.’”

According to the report, McGahn took extensive notes of his conversations with the president, which apparently irked Trump.

“Why do you take notes? Lawyers don’t take notes,” Trump once told McGahn, according to the report. “I never had a lawyer who took notes. I’ve had a lot of great lawyers, like Roy Cohn. He never took notes.” Cohn, a notorious political fixer, was Trump’s mentor and personal lawyer early in Trump’s real estate career.

McGahn, though, wasn’t the only note taker featured in the Mueller report.

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s chief of staff, Jody Hunt, took notes of his conversation with Trump after the president learned that Mueller had been appointed as special counsel.

“Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency,” Trump exclaimed, according to Hunt’s notes cited in Mueller’s report. “I’m f***ed.”

And yet after all this: HILLARY IS STILL NOT PRESIDENT!

HALLELUJAH!

That’s it? That’s all you got? Because that is
pitiful
just pitiful.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to actually "know" stuff instead of just parroting what racists and criminals tell you? I imagine it would be liberating.

Perhaps you should give it a test drive. Actually read something that isn't propaganda? For once?

I've ready quite a bit of the Mueller report. It repeatedly says things to the effect that no evidence was found to justify indicting Trump.

Seriously, you need help.

Now you just flat out lied. I gave you a f¥cking link to it? What the hell is wrong with you. Just go read the f¥cking thing.

[Hale]

We have a new contender: deanrd

Favorite deranged quote: "the entire second half is a list of indictable crimes"

Seriously, can you read English? That's the most enormous misrepresentation I've seen so far, pure gaslighting. Here's your ribbon:

This report is hundreds of pages long.

It covers everything except Trump's money.

That's because the scope was limited to the Russians. The only reason there is so much Trump is because every time they found a Russian, he was in bed with someone from the Trump campaign.



The entire second half deals with obstruction.

Mueller makes it clear that even though a sitting president can't be indicted, he can be charged with crimes he committed while in office once he's out.

And the entire second half is a list of indictable crimes. Anyone who bothers to read even a part of it knows that to be true.

Just the section on Cohen lists multiple felonies where Trump is an unindicted co conspirator.

More and more of this is coming out before the next election. The question will be what kind of people are Republicans who make such a man president?

According to a new report from the New York Times, Mueller has farmed out federal indictments to:

1) The SDNY, in Manhattan

2) The EDNY, in Brooklyn

3) The EDVA in Virginia.

4) The U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles

And right wingers are still waiting for Hillary to go to jail and they’re positive that Obama hacked trump’s phone.
In the meantime, there are still another dozen investigations that are ongoing which we saw in the Mueller report.
Odd that.

LOL! Good point. One irrational group believes Hillary will go to jail any moment. The other irrational group believes Trump will be impeached any moment.

Maybe one of them will be correct some day soon.

No one believes he'll be impeached Republican toadies are deathly afraid of the bully and we need both parties

The GOP Senate will never let it happen no matter how many crimes he’s committed or will commit nor how closely he works with the Russians to subvert American democracy.

You are delusional....

If there was any REAL EVIDENCE the GOP, wouldn't hesitate. You forget they hate Trump even more than the left .


Jo

Depends on how you define real evidence. Because the Mueller report is a laundry list of indictable crimes and felonies.

This part idiot:

10 episodes where Trump might have obstructed justice

Again with the "might" as if it's fact.

Sad to see your credibility dissolve into nothingness.

Ok one more time, one more time only I will explain it to you:

Mueller considered it inaproriate (as per DOJ guidelines) to make any deregatory determination without bringing charges (which he could not under the same guidelines).

So instead of making what he describes as a tough legal call he simply laid out the facts for Congress to make the determination if this bahaviour adds up to obstruction.

I think it clearly does, I think any reasonable person would consider it obstruciton and I think Congress (if it wants to take this up) can impeach Trump for abuse of his office in this way.

First, since obviously American English is not your first language, I'll try to use simple words. Mueller would not be shy about saying that Congress should investigate an issue as that is not a derogatory determination.

Second, although he did raise QUESTIONS about obstruction, he did not recommend further investigation.

Finally, though he was obviously offended by Trump's attacks, nothing he outlines indicates abuse.

You have NO credibility on this issue. You should really take a break and hope everyone forgets how many stupid things you've posted.
