Spineless Lindsey Graham Rejects Trump’s Call for Obama to Testify: ‘I Don’t Think That’s a Good Idea’

Terrible! It’s because of Republicans such as Lindsay Graham that Democrat Party is now a lawless and dangerous party. Shame on you, Lindsay Graham.

Flynn’s Lawyer Excoriates Obama In Open Letter

Lindsey Graham Rejects Trump’s Call for Obama to Testify: ‘I Don’t Think That’s a Good Idea’

Story continues below advertisement

By Breitbart, May 14, 2020

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Thursday rejected President Donald Trump’s demand for former President Barack Obama to testify as part of his panel’s June hearings on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign.

https://youtu.be/B2kKxDLxsgk

A partial transcript is as follows:

REPORTER: If you could respond to President Trump’s tweet earlier today where he said, “If I were a senator or congressman, the first person I would call to testify is about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA by far is former President Obama. He knew everything. Do it, Lindsey Graham. Just do it.
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: I issued a statement about that. We will be conducting oversight of all Crossfire Hurricane beginning the first week of June, I think. [We’ll be] starting with the Flynn case, then we’ll look at the Carter Page warrant application. We’ll be calling all the people who signed the warrant and we’ll be asking questions like “should there have ever been a Mueller investigation?” and “Was there ever really any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia?”

As to unmasking, we’ll be asking questions about that regarding Gen. Flynn. But as I said in my statement, no president’s above the law, but we do have separations of powers and I think it could be a bad precedent to compel a former president to come before the Congress. That would open up a can of worms, and for a variety of reasons, I don’t think that’s a good idea. But we will do a lot of oversight over all things Crossfire Hurricane.

Disqus is kaput.

Even the people who claim to be on my side silence me for simply saying I want to see real justice served to those who betray and abuse and rob and murder as a political career. We’re set up like bowling pins and the balls come from both directions. I’m supposed to trust, but that trust has been used against me forever. Trust was turned into an implement of theft and betrayal. A dollar or a position of control in the hand of a few, is more valuable than a million lives or the prosperity of an entire nation.

I believe the greatest crime ever committed against America was the Saudi King placing the obama into the White House. He boasted of doing that in an Arabic broadcast around 1998 and proceeded to bribe and corrupt high level Govt. and media people to grease BHO’s way into the White House. All who took that corruption are guilty of high treason subject to the constitutions punishment. And that is why we see so much animus towards President Trump. And now the traitors have destroyed America’s economy and traditions in the name of a pandemic in hopes they can divert attention from their treason’s..
A vote for a democrat is a vote to put America under sharia rule.

Graham is up for re election this year, so, as is his wont, he`ll talk a good game until he wins, then, all of the talk and the promises for action will quietly disappear….until 2026, when he`s again up for re election.

Dear Pamela – many of us want o see Obama get hanged, or put behind bars forever.
Trey Gowdy seems to have the same opinion as Graham – why not wait until the investigations are finished.
Obama will get punished unless he runs away in time to hide in Serengeti or Aceh.

The only appropriate places for Ovamit to testify under oath is at a grand jury or in his own defense after indictment for treason.

WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH THERE LINDSEY FOR BASICALLY STATING THAT OBAMA LIKE THE CLINTONS IS TOTALLY IMMUNE FROM ANY TYPE OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS FOR THE 8 FREAKING YEARS OF HIS REGIME. YOU SHOWED US THAT YOU DID HAVE SOME BACK BONE DURING THE KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION HEARING BUT APPARENTLY YOU LOST IT AFTER THAT EPISODE. TRULY PATHETIC, TRULY SAD. OH AND BY THE WAY , OBAMA NEVER PARDONED BUSH WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE AS IS USUAL WITH INCOMING PRESIDENTS. IN FACT THE LAST PRESIDENT THAT RECEIVED A PARDON FROM AND INCOMING PREZ. WAS SLICK WILLY CLINTON.

In general I tend to disagree with most of the comments. I hope that Graham intends to first interview several people under BHO to get them nervous to protect themselves and spill the bean on Barry…then bring in BHO when you are prepared to expose.

Graham, get out of your pantsuit and start dressing and acting like the “alleged” man you might be and go after criminal B.O. Perhaps a “real” man should be asked and not a fake. Show America that crime does and will not pay.

The only good thing I’ve see Graham do is when he erupted during the Kavanaugh hearings, calling out the dems. That was a great thing. Unfortunately, that’s all I’ve seen him do, even though he’s always on the media telling folks what he’s “going to do”….and he never does it! And now we have the biggest political CORRUPTION case in recent history; and he’s not going to call in the KEY PEOPLE that should be FORCED TO testify UNDER OATH!! He should step down and let someone with a BACKBONE chair the Judiciary Committee…..Call his office and let him know; Washington Office: (202) 224-5972; enter “1” and leave a message.

I am waiting for Senator Graham to come up with an excuse to not to have hearings in June (When has he had a probative hearing about anything?) I would not be surprised if Graham calls Durham to a hearing to delay any prosecutions Durham’s investigation has lead to.
It is hard to imagine Lindsey Graham actually doing something/anything to investigate criminal activity aimed at President Trump.
For nearly four years what we are actally seeing is Lindsey Graham operating as a Gate Keeper to protect the Obama/Hillary cabal.
