Lindsey Graham Goes Full Rogue! Demands Proof of Trump's Wiretapping Claim

Well this is an interesting development... Just when President Mini-Mitts thought he could spew an unsubstantiated wiretapping charge against President Obama and ask for "investigations" by the Senate and House Intelligence Committees -- knowing full well they are run by Republicans who won't investigate squat -- Lindsey Graham (R-SC) goes rogue!

Along with Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, Graham is demanding that the FBI put up or shut up on Trump's bogus claims. Read on...

or any other senator in the majority get Comey to testify anytime they like? Wouldn't that put this whole thing to rest?

That's what Graham is doing -- but he has the Committee authority to make this happen much faster.

And I watch the Senate very carefully and I think we may be seeing even more such actions from the likes of McCain and Collins as the months roll on...

We may not have months before Donald Trump's damage to our country is beyond repair.

How in the world did anyone listen to this idiot and think he'd make a great president?

It's new and a return to the Senate coverage I used to do between about 2004-2010. Still trying to get readership and traction but it seemed important to come back after the November 8 disaster!

He'd be there now, except Arnold got 'The Celebrity Apprentice' cancelled.

We need 3 in the Senate who will say no to this new Trumpcare bill...
We need Graham to stand up demand an investigation...Yes, his fellow Republicans won't act, but this needs to stay in the news..it will get worse...much worse.
We need some Republicans in the Senate to come around to admitting Trump is nuts...some...to save this nation...and...I do think there are a few, very few Senate Republicans who will stand up...

We will see ...
