So what is Graham, great defender of our troops, going to do about Bountygate?

[MoonRiver]

Come on Lindsey, will you finally do the right thing and, at least, denounce Dear Leader?

[agingdem]

1. Define "doing the right thing"?...

Miss Lindsey is playing golf with the malignant sociopath...it's bend-over time...

[Iliyah]

2. Cover for shithole . ..

blame the Democrats and far left on something.

[NCjack]

9. Pres. Obama and V.P. Biden are responsible.

[pwb]

3. Why didn't Graham know about it?

Trump is going to blame Graham I hope.

[ok_cpu]

4. He'll find out before they make the turn this morning. n/t

[Andy823]

5. This will be a challenge

for ALL republicans, especially those like Graham who are trying to win stay in office. If they try and cover for trump, the voters, at least those with any sense, will vote them out of office. If they actually do something about what trump has done, they risk pissing off trump who could make any dirty laundry he has on them public, and he WILL do that if they turn on him.

It's going to be interesting to watch. Will the put country over trump, or will they go down with trump?

[sunonmars]

6. Well he's playing golf with Trump right now, so I guess whatever he's told

[spanone]

7. Selective outrage.

Were it a Democratic president, republicans would already be holding hearings.

[electric_blue68]

21. Oh, SOOOO True! :'''( - Hypocrites!!!!! :-/

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. Lindsey left abt 20 minutes ago to golf with Dump

per Kaitlin Collins, CNN.

My guess is that Dumpus is reminding Lady G of all the kompromat.

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Lindsey Graham told rumpus to shove it?

Tells him to release the kompromat and let the chips fall where they may?

Tells him that his comrades-in-arms mean more to him than appeasing pootie-poor?

Tells him that upholding the Constitution is more important than winning re-election at any cost?

Can’t you just see that happening?

Naaah! Me either.

[Laelth]

10. Graham is one of the few people that Trump will actually listen to.

My hope is that Graham is giving Trump the speech Nixon got in 1974, to wit: “You have lost the support of the Senate. It would be best for all concerned if you were to resign.”

-Laelth

[sunonmars]

12. Listen to Graham? You have got to be joking.

[Laelth]

13. No. Graham supports Trump publicly.

But Graham is one of the few people who can speak truthfully to the President in private—usually on the golf course.

Or, so I have read.



-Laelth

[MoonRiver]

16. They're probably plotting about how to save Chump's ass.

[Laelth]

17. Perhaps. I suppose we will find out soon enough. n/t

-Laelth

[MoonRiver]

18. Yes, they can't be silent about this forever.

[Demsrule86]

14. He is now out on the golf course with Traitor Trump.

[sunonmars]

15. I guess we'll know his instructions later then to protect Trump.

[CanonRay]

19. Play golf with him. What else.

[gratuitous]

20. There won't be any audience for Trump and Graham out on the course

So Graham will come back and say whatever he thinks his particular audience wants to hear. For those of us outraged by this story, he'll say that he was forthright and direct in telling Trump that this was totally unacceptable. For the sake of his base, he'll tell them (sotto voce) that the president laid out a compelling case for just shrugging off Putin's pay-for-slay program.

Nothing will change, nothing will happen, and Graham may have to say something publicly once, but then he will blithely float off and never speak of it again. The media will let him do that, of course, and anyone who insists on something more substantive will be advised to just let it go, old news, hey didja hear about Bubba Wallace?

[Nevilledog]

22. Either wipe his mouth or take a Sitz bath.
