In all seriousness, I do hope that he's not blackmailing him for being gay. I don't know if Lindsey is or is not gay. It would be a real shame if that is the issue.

I hope it's just run-of-the-mill corruption. Illegal campaign funds, money laundering, etc.

an easy target for Graham, given Graham's constituency. Also, Trump has a cruel streak so wide and so deep he would aim to hurt Graham that way.

Just my guess because I think of Trump as evil and vengeful...

A perfect description of The Orange One. That's why he likes keeping Steven Miller in the White House. They are kindred spirits, IMHO.

Graham has lived a life of being a true repuglican. He's repugnant. He's vile. I hope he comes to no good end. I want to see him off the national stage forever, in shame and disgrace.

this about Lindsey. We don't need your comment way after the fact.

On a Friday, a year ago, Lindsey was still dragging Trumps mini-dick in the dirt.
Trump has him up for dinner and a golf game. Monday morning Lindsey is running his mouth off continuously aggrandizing Trump, and Senate Republicans.

Then he offered a major speech on our most recent "assigned" supreme court justice, disputing all evidence against him and whole heartedly praising Trump and Kavanaugh.......

Putin merely emailed Trump a four color 8 x 10 of Lindsey sucking the dick of someone else who is a closet Republican Politician....more than likely Trump..........

It is more than apparent that Putin has done similar things to the Putin worshipping Trump and a large portion of the Republicans in Senate and all the Trump Wannabes..........

My take on the whole subject is that Putin was really pissed about the end of the cold war and russia losing. Putin is very smart and has spent every day since the end of the cold war formulating and devising the way to take down of the US. His fellow "now out of a job" KGB agents felt much the same way.
Trump has spent decades collecting Kompromat on as many America"s Politicians as he could. Juicy, Salacious, Kompromat. Most obvious is what he has on McConnell and Trump.......
I would guess that he massaged Trump's masculinity got him in a Suite years ago in Russia. The room was loaded with cameras from all angles and a ton of microphones. Putin threw a party and he knew well of all of Trump's sexual proclivities, and filmed it all thinking it may come in handy in the future. Little did we know.........Stuff on the scale of "Epstein".........
My legal immigrant Russian friend, who's family is still in Russia tells me that the people of Russia are laughing their asses off at how easily Putin played and is playing Trump and the Republican Party.....

It wasn't that they were horny heterosexual men, it was they were interested in underage girls.

It doesn't just have to be that he's gay. There are a lot of unsavory things Republicans (straight or gay) seem to get themselves wrapped up in.

his Cartel trilogy rings very true. He's also anti trump, and I think he offered to debate him. I would trust his instincts and sources...

I like this kind of reading too
I read the sample from the first book and really liked it.
I will either have to get it from the library or watch for a deep discount kindle version.

never knew he was a P.I., but it makes sense. When I saw his name, I thought of the book with the old-time surfers. The imagery that a writer creates is something.

And the way he slavishly protects and defends - NOT the Constitution - but his disgusting handler.

Come clean Lindsey! Own up to whatever The Orange One has on you.

Lindsey could fart and they'd hear an opera.

Our politicians are only as powerful as the people who support them. If you don't sweat the details, Lindsey's your guy.
