Lindsey encourages Don Jr to ignore Burr's subpoena and "call it a day."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday urged Donald Trump Jr. to ignore a subpoena issued by fellow Republican Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).

Graham told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that he would advise the president’s son not to testify again to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“If I were Donald Trump Jr.’s lawyer, I would tell him, you don’t need to go back into this environment anymore,” Graham explained. “You’ve been there for hours and hours and nothing being alleged here changes the outcome of the Mueller investigation.”

“I would call it a day,” the senator added.

...a "private citizen." A prince, perhaps, or maybe one of Odin's young gods, patiently waiting and scheming in Asgard until it's time for him to ascend to the throne.

In reality, he's an adulterer, just like dad, he's a smug and arrogant little prick who slaughters unsuspecting wild animals for "sport."

And if Trump himself is the poster child for "being born on third base thinking he hit a home run" with Fred's $400 million plus, what the hell can you say about the SON of that guy?

Yes...Graham is encouraging a private citizen to ignore a subpoena, and there should be consequences for that.

2. So Comrade Lindsey Grahamov wants Li'l Don to blow off a subpoena

from his very own branch of government with all the risks that such off-blowing entails, seeing as how Li'l Don isn't a member of Spanky's staff and has no immunity of any kind?

And Comrade Lindsey claims to be both a lawyer and a senator instead of just a craven ass-kisser with secrets?

Ignorance and greed, we find out what impotus has on Lindsey. Must be really something. I’m thinking it one of two things......either it has something to do with underage kids or who his partner is/was.

As an attorney and also a Senator sworn in to upholding the US Constitution, isn't this in violation to recommend someone ignore a subpoena? Did they teach Lindsay this in law school? As a JAG?

Couldn't something like this lead to be disbarred?

Spanish prosecutor Jose Grinda says Don Jr should be "very concerned" about wiretaps of his meetings w Putin crony Alexander Torshin (also NRA's contact in Russia). Grinda turned those wiretaps over to FBI.

Only shows his contempt for the rule of law, and how corrupt he's become suggesting anyone ignore it.

Not surprised to hear this crapola from that shrill shill. Kompromat sure does make a person behave strangely, no?

15. i didn't know you could just ignore subpoenas.

i'll remember that if i'm ever subpoenaed for some reason. and if the judge threatens to have me arrested i'll just have my lawyer point out that Congress says it is okay and we are all supposed to have equal protections under the law.

i'm sure it will work out FINE for me.
