Share this clip far and wide. It is the 7 minutes in July 2017 when @LindseyGrahamSC realized he had been caught up in 702 surveillance, and he desperately wants to know if someone could use that call against him. #GOPCompromised #GOPComplicitTraitors

In Oct of 2017 Graham goes golfing with Trump and suddenly changes his opinion of Trump. I suspect Trump informed Graham that he knows what Lindsey said and threatened to use this info against him.

Since this golf trip Graham has been in Trumps pocket

Is he saying he had that conversation, or is he just giving a hypothetical? It sounds like he'd already made some request ("your staff&quot .

He's really frantic. He won't let them speak. Any idea what he's worried about?

We don’t know about what, but he sounds concerned that if those conversations were monitored or taped, they could be used as leverage against him. That’s the most likely explanation I can think of for his sudden 180 on Trump: someone told him they had collected his conversation.

If it came from Trump on the golf course, it was already being used as leverage.

It was strangely enjoyable to see him sweating it out.

It would have been nice if he were told that his application for an answer was held up by way of a continuing investigation.

when Trump people got caught talking to Russians who were being monitored by Intel. That's why they needed the FISA warrant, because they caught recordings of Americans talking to the Russians they were monitoring.
