https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/10/lindsey-graham-trump-hoax-call-043991Lindsey Graham dishes on Trump in hoax calls with Russians
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has in the last year become something of a congressional point man for President Donald Trumps negotiations with Turkey, leading discussions on everything from Ankaras purchase of a Russian missile system over the summer to their more recent incursion into northern Syria.
So when he received a call from a man he thought was Turkeys minister of defense earlier in August, it didnt strike him as unusual. Thank you so much for calling me, Mr. Minister, Graham said. I want to make this a win-win, if we can.

this call is in august & the Moscow radio people are IMO noticebly Russian!

Lindsey sells out the Kurds. He assures the "Turkey defense minister" that he
understands their "their Kurd problem."
This is the opposite of what he is saying now. After listening to this recording, it
would seem he was guiding Trump to shift our support to the Turks and abandon
the Kurds. He pushing them to buy Lockheed's F35's. Lockheed is by the way his
biggest donor.

I checked today after listening to the calls. But I would have bet money on it,
after listening to him shill for Lockheed.
