51. Graham is playing with fire here. FBI witnessing about the coordination between Trump's mob
Tue Feb 2, 2021, 10:18 PM
Feb 2021

of deplorables, the crews within the mob, the enablers and planners in his campaign and his white house staff, Members of both houses and their staffs, Putin and any other "outside influences", Mrs. Supreme Court Judge, and sundry propaganda outlets with an interest could take up quite a few testimonial minutes and may lead to embarrassing questions directed at certain Senators.

You think Lindsey has really thought this through or is he merely parroting Trump's (or Vlad's) line of thinking? Donald does like to make the oddball threat of retaliation as we know.

Actually this sounds rather desperate of him. It makes me wonder just what he thinks needs to be hidden from the public and the public record. It's interesting that he thinks he's in charge of the proceedings or what the FBI will do or say, or else that he's speaking for someone else who does. Grandstanding is one thing, making it stick is quite another. IMO Lindsey's smokescreen comes from the same source as Giuliani's rants the warped mind of DJT.
