SCOOP: Lindsey Graham was pranked by the same Russians who got to Adam Schiff. In a call with the "Turkish defense minister," he called the Kurdish YPG a "threat" and said Trump "wants to be helpful, within the limits of his power" in the Reza Zarrab case.

Graham spent the call dishing about Trump and there's this:
"Graham also expressed sympathy for Turkeys 'Kurdish problem' and described the Kurds as a 'threat.'"

You don't get the unknown butt dial, where folks are hearing conversations in the room by accident.

Oh, and that Turkish bank case is one about Iranian money laundering, so @LindseyGrahamSC
is a traitor on top of being a lying sack of shit, and should resign

(31,261 posts)15. Come again? I have experienced butt dialing (actually, if one do not
delete the daily call log, butt dialing become more of a possibility).
What I don't get is someone in the room hearing the conversation. When my phone butt dials, I ask the other person whether he or she called me, if not, call over. It is not like my phone called an escort service or bookie, so I have nothing to hide.
