'I'm not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here': Graham predicts Trump impeachment will 'die quickly' in Senate

[Deleted User 1461]

Exactly! How soon people forget !!!

why wouldn’t he, he’s perfectly brazen now in pretending that he didn’t spend the entire 2015/16 primary season talking about how trump was an incompetent nutcase and nominating him would spell the end of the republican party

I mean, we all know he’s nothing but the President’s lapdog, but it’s good that he keeps hammering it home so he can’t eventually pretend it wasn’t the case when being a Trump bootlicker isn’t his best conduit to power and relevance.

“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role,”

Lindsey Graham in 1998

Graham about the Clinton impeachment:

“Members of the Senate have said, ‘I understand everything there is about this case, and I won’t vote to impeach the president.’ Please allow the facts to do the talking,” . “People have made up their mind in a political fashion that will hurt this country long term.”

HYPOCRITES !

I would have to research but I wonder how many were in office when the Republicans impeached Clinton In the house but failed in the Senate. I truly find it ironic that they “forget” history when it’s not on their side...very distressing.

I will be honest. I did not for one second think that the Senate would vote to impeach the president. I'm legitimately sad that they aren't even pretending to be the deliberative body they historically were and are supposed to be. I should be shocked by what Graham and McConnell are saying, but they have proven to be such craven, cynical, pathetic cowards, it's not surprising in the least. I truly, truly dont understand carrying Trump's water like this.

Also, stop F***ing saying this:

The American people didn't believe that. They made him their president."
