Lindsay Graham is loaded for bear. He wants Andrew McCabe before his senate committee to grill him and determine how enemies of trump in the FBI and elsewhere in the government planned to investigate and remove trump from office. He thinks democrats were planning a coup via the 25th Amendment. Never mind that all the principles at the FBI are lifelong republicans and loyal Americans. Dedicated to their jobs, the country and the Constitution.
Graham knows better than that. Knows all about the 25th Amendment; most likely thought about it when Obama was president. He has conspiracy theories galore because he thinks in conspiracies in the first place, and in the second place, he truly pants hard to ‘get’ enemies however he can. He has shown his dirty political stripes many times in the past two years, let alone the previous 8 years. Nasty. Downright nasty.
Remember when he tutored John McCain when John was running for president? There was Lindsay, whispering in John’s ear several times each day as McCain spoke nonsense off the cuff in countries and situations he little understood. He corrected himself many times, especially in matters dealing with Israel. You may recall the trips to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv when McCain opined carelessly; Lindsay would whisper in his ear and John would correct himself to avoid an international incident.
Truth be told, Graham understood presidential nuance better than McCain. And Lindsay sorely wanted to be the power behind a president. Today he is practicing the same moves to support an even more vapid person in mr. trump. He rides his white stallion to the rescue of Donald hoping to win favor. Strange turn of events when we recall the many times Lindsay accused the trumper of ill-considered legislative moves. Seems Lindsay worships the protocols of the senate and doesn’t want anyone messing with those hallowed treasures. Even the Donald.
How Graham can be for the donald and then against him, and then for him again, is beyond my pay grade. I wonder if Lindsay really believes his own posturing or if he is auditioning for a special role in the trumper’s white house?
I have concluded that Lindsay is more unprincipled than the one he protects. And that’s a low standard these days. Wow!
By the way, if you were in McCabe’s shoes, and Rod Rosenstein’s, wouldn’t you sit in your office talking candidly about what the events of the day meant to their responsibilities? Wouldn’t you wonder what options lay before you to fulfill those responsibilities? Even in unimaginable times such as these?
McCabe and Rosenstein were simply doing what their jobs demanded of them. Serve and protect the nation even if the enemy is within.
Another Wow!
