Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday that President Trump brought up the idea of ending special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election numerous times over the weekend.

During an event hosted by the Greenville County Republican Party and radio station WGTK’s “The Answer” program, an audience member asked why he and Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., who joined the senator on stage, don't step up and end Mueller’s probe.

“Did Trump ask that question? He must have mentioned that about 20 times,” said Graham, who golfed with Trump in New Jersey on Sunday and had dinner with Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law.

Graham said that he told Trump that he has so far seen “zero evidence” of the president colluding with Russia and said, “I told the president, ‘I know you don’t like it. I know you feel put upon. You just got to ride it out.’”

1. My mom does that, too.

But she's 93 and has dementia.

17. Right. He's losing it and way over his head.

Palilalia.
tic-like repetition of words or phrases.
Palilalia may occur in conditions affecting the pre-frontal cortex or basal ganglia regions, either from physical trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, genetic disorders, or a loss of dopamine in these brain regions.
...may be present in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease...

Granted, I picked from description of this syndrome, but the pattern's there.
Also, I don't want him off the hook on a diagnosis, but rather for all the crimes he's unloaded on a pretty good republic.

He needs jail time.

2. Every crook wants shutdown the investigation into their crookedness.

[CatMor]

3. It's really something how Graham can be bought with a game of golf.

[2naSalit]

6. He's a pretty lonely guy

now that his buddy, McCain, isn't around. I guess any attention will do for him.

[raccoon]

9. Or the Dotard has something on him. Nt

[Liberalagogo]

16. Most likely

clear evidence of Graham's sexuality which obviously terrifies the closet case.

[NOMOGOP]

4. If i were accused of something...

I didn't do and knew the truth would come out. I would be happy as a clam the Mueller probe will soon exonerate me and I can tell all of them who doubted me to KISS MY ASS.

[standingtall]

5. Lindsey Graham is still a weasel

and the sky is still blue. If there is any justice he will lose his Senate race in 2020. I know it's South Carolina, but still.

[DesertRat]

7. Sounds like someone is very nervous about Mueller

[dbackjon]

8. And you said Yes Master, right?

[DoctorJoJo]

10. Ruskie Kompromat Is a Powerful Tool, and Lindshe Is a Tool, Too!

[Snellius]

21. What does his sexual orientation have to do with it? Whatever it may be. nt

[DoctorJoJo]

24. Nothing, If Open, But When Not, Becomes a Kompromat Issue!

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Yes, being closeted opens him up

And also his voting record on lgbtq issues should be examined .

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. One of the truly major assholes of politics - Graham

so good at doing the susan collins wave in the wind shuffle - but just a malevolent republican, both, who are always on the wrong side of things.

[0rganism]

12. totally something a person confident of innocence would do

innocence and purity so intense one can almost smell it

[Botany]

13. nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs

[turbinetree]

14. Hey Graham, do you think the American Public is that stupid................

think about this.................what fucking committee(s) do you sit on.................

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/lindsey_graham/300047


do you think that just maybe he or you should be a witness..............why do you play so much golf with a traitor, because he likes you..................do you fucking think he wants to know what you know, since you sit on some committee(s) that has to do, with his treason....................and then you said this:

Graham said that he told Trump that he has so far seen “zero evidence” of the president colluding with Russia and said, “I told the president, ‘I know you don’t like it. I know you feel put upon. You just got to ride it out.’”


You seen "zero evidence of colluding"................Trump Tower, Air Force One...............are you really that fucked up in the head....................yes.............you are just Stupid........... with a capital S

[BamaRefugee]

18. I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, and...

Lindshe Graham doesn't THINK his constituents are that stupid, he KNOWS they are.
Don't forget that Greenville is the home of Bob Jones University, and back in the 60s Bob Jones had the entire city in turmoil when he stated as a fact that the Russians were sending a submarine up the Reedy River (depth about 6 feet) to attack the town.


Not to mention the years of howling over Commie fluoridation of the city water.

[JDC]

15. "No evidence" That line is the biggest pile of dogshit ever

Evidence is all around *45. The streets are littered with it.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Officially There's No Evidence

Because Mueller's office isn't in the business of leaking evidence from an ongoing investigation.

Of course little Lindsay hasn't seen any evidence. He's not privvy to the evidence, yet.

[riversedge]

19. k for visibility

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. Graham guzzles tRump Kool-Aid every day.

Not the job of Congress to end Justice Dept. probes, and that should have been his answer to the caller.

Repug Congress-critters are no longer willing to explain the basic functions of our three branches of gummit and why there's firewalls between them.

Lindsey must regularly sleep with Devin Nunes..........

[moondust]

23. Maybe Spanky's under pressure

from the syndicate to end it before more of them get rolled up.

[ck4829]

25. Kick

[liberal N proud]

26. Graham is playing his supporters

He supports Trump while telling his supporters that he is standing up to him.

[BlueJac]

28. Unreal

[duforsure]

29. What caused Graham to switch and now is pro putin and russia

What have they gotten on Graham to make him switch his position so quickly on russia and putin? It must be really bad, and many other republicans now in the same position as russia and putin has them blackmailed to do as they say now, or they'll be exposed. Criminal election fraud, money laundering, and personal criminal acts? Whatever it is they will be exposed anyway, and might as well start coming clean to the American people now.
