Graham Now Worries Giulianis Information From Ukraine Might Be Russian Propaganda

Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who was eager to hear whatever dirt Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani claims to have on Joe Biden several weeks ago, now seems to have some misgivings.
In an interview with the Daily Beast published on Sunday, Graham advised Giuliani to have the information on Biden that he supposedly found in Ukraine vetted by the intelligence community in case the intel is merely part of Russias disinformation campaign.
My advice to Giuliani would be to share what he got from Ukraine with the IC to make sure its not Russia propaganda, the Republican senator added. Im very suspicious of what the Russians are up to all over the world.

(53,847 posts)he's not suspicious of trump's continual kowtowing to Putin?
Come on, Graham, you're fooling no one but yourself.
And the rest of the trump boot lickers of course.
Who does Graham think he's kidding? Oh wait, all the dolts that listen to rightwing hate radio and fux nooze.

(7,434 posts)Why would anyone trust the drool coming out of his mouth, no less the words? Graham is as slimy as a salted slug.
OF COURSE it's Russian propaganda, Lindsey! Put on your big-boy pants and stop equivocating. Do you REALLY think that Giuliani is going to consult with the IC when his madman boss thinks the IC is worthless? You are suggesting that Giuliani distance himself from Trumpy just to approach the IC? Really? You're just as crazy as Trumpy.
The bottom line is that Graham KNOWS that it's Russian propaganda that Giuliani is gathering. He's just trying to be coy so that Trumpy doesn't badmouthing him and, in the tradition of one who exposed the name of the alleged whistleblower, let loose some very damaging information that he has on Graham. Lindsey is sweating gallons of vile secretions in fear that he'll get on Trumpy's bad side. He may as well bend over and spread 'em, and get it over with.

I don't think we ever recieved all this great info Trump's Hawaii detectives found? Maybe go send Rudy so we can finally prove once and for all Obama was born in Kenya!

At best, it's just Graham signaling frustration.
I don't think Rudy is capable of getting anything. He's as far gone as Mr Trump.

She loves you for what you are doing for the G.O.P.

(2,697 posts)If Giuliani doesn't see that bus coming down the road, and doesn't feel Trump and Grahams hands on his shoulders ready to push, then Giuliani is a bigger fool than I thought him to be..
Graham is not coming into the light. Graham is just standing ready to help Trump give Giuliani the push on command. And he's also sending out a not very subtle signal to Trump that, from Graham's point of view, Giuliani has become a liability.
(I never attribute to a turning toward the light what is easier explained by dark self-interest. I know most DU'ers feel the same way, but watch the media reporting on this. )
(Did I just hear some lip-flapper on Face the Nation say that Barr's allegations that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign have been proven by Durham? First, no they haven't been. Quite the contrary -- at least so far. Second, I seldom watch such shows and now, after a brief stop over on my way down the dial to NFL news, I realize how right I am not to watch such shows.)

(1,587 posts)tRump, weakens Ukraine and the US while enhancing the Russian hand. Actually it is, or will be, a continuation of the brilliant strategic moves by Putin executed by the traitor in the WH. And l do not buy the concept that tRump is only a useful idiot. He is a Russian asset. Period. That much power in the control of a master spymaster such as Putin is world threatening.
