Contact between Trump campaign and Russian intel officials would be 'game changer,' Sen. Lindsey Graham says
By Morgan Winsor Feb 15, 2017, 8:22 AM ET

Sen. Lindsey Graham today called for a broader bipartisan investigation if it’s true that Donald Trump's campaign communicated with Russians in the year leading up to the 2016 presidential election.

"If there's contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials outside the norm, that’s not only big league bad, that’s a game changer," Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview on "Good Morning America."

He continued, "Because if it is true, it is very very disturbing to me and Russia needs to pay a price when it comes to interfering in our democracy and other democracies, and any Trump person who was working with the Russians in an unacceptable way also needs to pay a price."

1. It's true, Senator Graham.

Start the investigation now, please.

[Zoonart]

4. I'm holding my breath.

Starting to turn blue now...................aarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.

[MineralMan]

7. Don't hold your breath. Just watch and wait.

You have to keep breathing, though.

2. Well, now we are going to need a

definition of "outside the norm". What kind of "norm" would there be for a campaign to be communicating at ALL w/ Russian intelligence?

8. IKR?

What possible reason could a person running for President of the USA have for talking to a foreign intelligence agency???

Unless you are planning to subvert the election with their help of course aka TREASON!

3. After the torture scandal, I've come to the conclusion that Graham will put his position first

over any type of law-breaking by his party. He talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

10. I think that could be part of why he left himself an "out"

by the use of "outside the norm". Somehow they will try to normalize having contact "inside the norm" and then never define what that might be. Newspeak

5. Get the shovels out, Lindsey is talkin' tough agin!

[KittyWampus]

6. 'outside the norm'. There is NO NORM where a US campaign communicates with FI of Russia.

9. Don't tell us show us

[Eyeball_Kid]

11. What?? Graham blames Russia for Trumpy's collusion with them?

What is this? Graham is framing Trumpy as a hapless VICTIM???

Lindsey, my boy, do you have a problem with Trumpy's behavior? Do you think that the US has problems to address on its own when Trumpy goes whole hog with teaming with Russia to defeat Clinton???

if you have a problem with all of this, why divert attention to big, bad Russia? Why not stay close to home and deal with Trumpy? HE made the decision to have Russian intervention! It wasn't Flynn. It wasn't War Club Bannon. It wasn't Propaganda Barbie. It was Trumpy!

[Kimchijeon]

12. Blah Blah Blah- Get on with it! It's true.

Although I doubt anything will be done. No one seems to give a shit anymore, no matter how comically absurd the crimes are.

13. "Pay a price" is he asking for a bribe?

The price is TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

Don't even bother punishing Russia. You can't punish the zombie virus for infecting your crew. You deal with it by purging those affected and not letting it spread or affect your healthy people.

15. Whatever non insane republicans that are left (Any?)

Better get the investigations going quick.

Bannon 45 handed the keys to the car over to Vladimir, capiche?

[lame54]

14. That SOB voted for Putin's buddy Tillerman...

All words
No action

[Thrill]

16. He's always full of talk

Never any action to back it up
