Asked Graham about this tweet just now. He reiterated that he’s not going to call in Obama.

“I don’t think now’s the time for me to do that. I don’t know if that’s even possible.”

He added:

“I understand President Trump’s frustration, but be careful what you wish for.”

Even Lyndsey acknowledges this will be just another Republican show trial.

It would be great seeing Obama out there telling the full truth about what happened.

And while you're at it, let's call Michelle and the girls in, too, see what they may know about everything.

We'll have need for all this after Biden & Friends get this plague under control.

while chatting with our Congress Person at the time said,the GOP will try to take Obama down with some type of bogus charge. Their thing was to make sure no further African Americans every seek the US Presidency.

Only this time it is all about not only trying to smear Obama,but,work the system in order to lift Sanctions on Russia. Pay back to Putin for all those Campaign dollars in 2016 as well as justifying the all those E-Mails as well as the Hacking.
