Lindsey Graham says he won't read House deposition transcripts

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that he will not read any of the transcripts released Tuesday by the House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry, telling CBS News: '"I've written the whole process off. ... I think this is a bunch of B.S."
Why it matters: In a revision to his Oct. 17 testimony, U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland acknowledged that he told a Ukrainian official that the release of military aid to Ukraine would "likely not occur" unless President Volodymyr Zelensky announced an investigation into a gas company with ties to Joe Biden's son.
Graham, a fierce Trump defender, told reporters on Sept. 25: "If you're looking for a circumstance where the president of the United States was threatening the Ukraine with cutting off aid unless they investigated his political opponent, you'd be very disappointed. That does not exist."

(7,788 posts)when he's faced with reality he can rehabilitate himself and acknowledge wrongdoing. That way, he has the best of both worlds....loyal until faced with no choice.
It's going to be more obvious as time goes on that Trump is corrupt and at some point the gop will turn en mass and try to salvage whomever they can. Some will go down, perhaps Lindsey, because Trump will drag them down with him...others may make it.
More whistleblowers = more evidence that Ukraine is far from the only corruption engaged in by the WH and partners in crime.

(14,230 posts)The transcripts are being released and contain damning evidence of Trump's guilt so Lindsey Graham has decided to stop reading the transcripts.

(13,520 posts)Some other gopee congressman said a few days ago that he's not keeping up with all these depositions either, because he considers them to be nothing more than a "side show".

(32,975 posts)He plainly knows it is not a Bunch of BS. It is vastly more serious an offense than perjury over a consensual affair, WHICH HE IMPEACHED AND PROSECUTED A PRESIDENT FOR. Does he think no one remembers?
JFC what a hypocrite.

(562 posts)He can't condemn it now because more testimony is coming out daily and if he condemns this now and shows that Lindsey had knowledge of say NRA laundering funds from ruskies to the RNC during 2016, he would have to recuse himself at a minimum. He's tormented over what he has to do and not do. That rock and hard place they always talk about.
Remember the RNC changed the GOP Ukraine policy during the convention, but it's still a big secret why, and who payed? As always, follow the money!
Now if Virginia State flips blue today, Lindsey and Turtle are gonna have to make a big decisions and real soon!
