Oh, little Lindsey Graham is in a heap of trouble

This is from Scott Stedman on Twitter






Lindsey Graham's 2016 campaign manager, Christian Ferry, was mentioned in the 2014 Cayman Islands court documents filed by Oleg Deripaska. Deripaska named Ferry as a key associate of Paul Manafort:

Here's the twitter thread on that

You can never hide in the digital age and Lindsey is an old school thief.

And this text is from last (2017) December.

I doubt it's the cause of Lindsey's change of behavior since McCain died, iow.

I've a feeling this 'case' that doc came from is the lawsuit against Manafort for the money Deripaska says he owes him.

Doesn't really indicate criminality by Graham, at all, I'm afraid.

I knew that would come out eventually.

That's why the Panama Papers thing is still essential information. There is evidence of what it means out here in my neck o' the woods, as in those monied folks are buying up prime property in the US with cash... and the sellers are taking the money and running.

Lindsey's going down with this ship of crooks.

This probably goes even deeper. I've been saying that there had to be a reason for Graham to be dancing to the Trumpski's tune. Particularly when you consider his former comments about the death of the Republican Party if they (GOP) nominated the man. The silence & participation of Republicans could be attached to compromising information on most of their members, something being held over their heads, aka blackmail, be it dark money, strange appetites, willingness to bend to foreign adversaries, etc.

But then, if you do the crime? Be ready to do the time. Or at the very least, ring up Meuller and turn State evidence.

There is such an avalanche of information that's already been discovered in this investigation and what's been obtained is beginning to leak out with each new court hearing that's going to make it more evident that they were complicit in maintaining their secrecy about it. They benefitted from this - most of them anyway. There are a few of these guys who are carefully beginning to back up a little in their enthusiasm of support. I would think that at some point they're going to have to do their jobs or face criminal prosecution themselves.

snip
Mitch enters the story through his brother-in-law, Jim Breyer, a global tech venture capitalist. Mitch is married to Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, and Jim’s married to her sister, Angela, CEO of the family’s shipping enterprise.

The story seems to begin in 2005 when Jim invested in Facebook and joined their board. At an international tech summit in 2009 he met Kremlin backed Yuri Milner, a Russian tech entrepreneur, along with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman (MBS)
