From Roll Call, Senator Graham (R-SC) puts his foot in it:
“I’ve told the president the same thing I’m going to tell you. I’ve been looking at this for two years. I find zero evidence of you colluding with the Russians. Trump beat Hillary Clinton, not the Russians,” said Graham. “I don’t think he colluded with the Russians ‘cause I don’t think he colludes with his own government, so why do we think he would’ve colluded with the Russians?”
Breaking this down, we have to assume Graham is going one of two ways on this:
Either Trump is a loose cannon, the proverbial bull in the shop of nuclear weapon buttons, and he really should be restrained and removed from his dangerous position.
Or Senator Graham really can’t think straight because someone indulging in treason rarely colludes with more than one government. In fact, the fact that President Trump rarely coordinates his own government in an effective manner suggests he’s just the thumb puppet of another country that finds the United States to be a dangerous and obstreperous force.
Incidentally, Senator Graham is evidently considering thrusting his head into the Clinton thresher machine:
“I want to win in November. If we stop the Mueller probe tomorrow, you wouldn’t be able to talk about anything else,” Graham said. “I told the president this: I promise you, you’ll be treated fairly. I promise you that the people who put the Clinton investigation in the tank, they’re going to have their day too.”
“So, I’m going to let Mueller do his job and we’ll see what he finds, but Mueller’s not in charge of looking at the FISA warrant application, he’s not in charge of overseeing the FBI. What they did during the 2016 election on behalf of Clinton appalls me.”
I don’t think Graham has paid sufficient attention to the repeated failures of the House Republicans to find anything to pin on Secretary Clinton. If he does achieve the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee, as may occur if the GOP retains control of the Senate, and calls Clinton in for a hearing, at her age she may have to use a walker, but she’ll still beat the living shit out of Graham.
Metaphorically speaking, of course. But, just in case, he should wear a diaper to that hearing.
