Lindsey Graham Calls For Investigation Of 'Attempted Bureaucratic Coup' Against Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has vowed to launch an investigation into whether top officials at the Justice Department and the FBI plotted to carry out a “bureaucratic coup” to force President Donald Trump from office.

Graham made his pronouncement during a Sunday conversation with CBS’ “Face The Nation.” He’d been reacting to the bombshell “60 Minutes” interview with Andrew McCabe, in which the former FBI deputy director had confirmed that Justice Department officials had discussed ousting Trump in 2017 using the 25th Amendment.

McCabe also corroborated earlier reports that said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had suggested wearing a wire when meeting with Trump ― an allegation that Rosenstein has vehemently denied.

Graham promised Sunday to “get to the bottom” of what actually happened.

1. I wonder what Trump has on Lindsey...

[gratuitous]

2. "I don't know who is telling the truth"

But you've thrown in your lot with the self-aggrandizing fraud against career law enforcement agents and criminal prosecutors, haven't you, Senator? Your judgment is rather suspect to an outside observer.

[RockRaven]

3. Senator Southern Vapors needs to read the Constitution...

Either the people involved in the alleged discussion had NO role to play in an invocation of the 25th Amendment, in which case it was irrelevant government fan-fiction masturbation... OR the parties involved in the alleged conversation DID have a role to play in an invocation of the 25th Amendment, in which case they were being diligent, responsible constitutional officers by continually assessing and evaluating their duties and circumstances. Either way, there is no there there.

Also, as his attempt to smear/delegitimate will fail, he's just asking for a greater microscope to be focused upon his corrupt purposes......... financial, sexual, electoral,... oh my!

4. The FBI doesn't control the 25 admendment

The majority of the cabinet and the vp do

[handmade34]

5. let's just get to the bottom of all this...

[toddwv]

6. Graham is a partisan of the highest level

?t=55

[Volaris]

7. It's not a coup, to you dumb fucker, if the cabinet decides he's batshit crazy...

It's a Constitutional Perogative.

after this, he's listed as a treason - weasel (I really don't care what the kompromt is)

[radical noodle]

8. He does realize that Democrats

will also be questioning the witnesses, does he not? I can't wait.

9. Proceed, Senator.

[hibbing]

10. If there is a camera, there he his

Amazing how the cameras flock to him just like they did with McCain. The corporate media and them must all go to the same beltway cocktail parties. It seemed like McCain was on the Sunday morning "news" shows every weekend. Lindsey always been a sanctimonious asshole, but even for him, this is pretty pathetic.

Peace

11. Flip, Flop- Never stop!!

That’s Lindsey Graham!

[peggysue2]

12. Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay

Whatever the Trumpster has on you, it must be a doozy. Because all you're doing now is making a fool of yourself.

[Hassler]

13. The Buddha said, there are things you cannot hide: the moon, the sun and the truth

And the truth about Traitor Lindseed is he's owned by the same people who own Cheeto.

[Bluepinky]

14. Lindsay has gone full circle bonkers. The man needs to get out of Washington and mix with regular

people. It’s obvious he’s been around Trump, McConnell and other traitors to our country too long, he has lost all rational thought.
Either he’s highly impressionable, and takes on the ideas of those around him, or Putin has something on him.

[Cha]

15. What a fucking hot mess he is.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

16. "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?"

Isn't little Lindsey adorable, the way he rolls over and lets Fat Donnie rub his belly?

[dlk]

17. As Jason Johnson Said, "It's in the Rules"

How could that possibly be a “coup”? The Republicans are getting hysterical over a Constitutional Amendment. Seriously, what is wrong with them?
