In fact, the fact that President Trump rarely coordinates his own government in an effective manner suggests he&#8217;s just the thumb puppet of another country that finds the United States to be a dangerous and obstreperous force.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, Senator Graham is evidently considering thrusting his head into the Clinton thresher machine:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"gmail_quote\"><p>\u201cI want to win in November. If we stop the Mueller probe\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1566149001\"><span class=\"aQJ\">tomorrow<\/span><\/span>, you wouldn\u2019t be able to talk about anything else,\u201d Graham said. \u201cI told the president this: I promise you, you\u2019ll be treated fairly. I promise you that the people who put the Clinton investigation in the tank, they\u2019re going to have their day too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019m going to let Mueller do his job and we\u2019ll see what he finds, but Mueller\u2019s not in charge of looking at the FISA warrant application, he\u2019s not in charge of overseeing the FBI. What they did during the 2016 election on behalf of Clinton appalls me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;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\u00a0<i><b>GOP\u00a0<\/b><\/i>retains control of the Senate, and calls Clinton in for a hearing, at her age she may have to use a walker, but she&#8217;ll still beat the living shit out of Graham.<\/p>\n<p>Metaphorically speaking, of course.
