Unless Lindsey Graham is clairvoyant, he is making accusations and then stating that his goal is to look for evidence to support his accusations. That's not how you do an investigation, it's how you do a witch-hunt.

(10,103 posts)Is it mean and judgemental of me to say that coming out of the closet might be the thing to sweeten his temper?

(81,320 posts)I always find it kind of hilarious to watch the news clips. There's john mccain... walking toward more podiums with microphones to blah-blah-blah. And there's his little sniveling shadow, his little puppy dog, lindsey graham... urgently following along trying to make sure he gets into the shot for the cable news shows, so he's seen CLOSE BEHIND mccain and therefore gaining implied political ground by being seen in the same shot...
The really pathetic part comes after that. Little sycophantic tag-along lindsey graham even has HIS OWN even LITTLER sycophantic tag-along puppy dog shadow these days! Who reliably appears, urgently following along trying to make sure SHE gets into the same shot for the cable news shows, so SHE is seen close behind both lindsey and john mccain - little kelly ayotte. It's like watching a four-year-old with a pull toy. And the pull toy has a pull toy. The shadow has a shadow. The Me-Too has a Me-Too.
P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!!!!!
And on top of that, they're too pathetic even to be ashamed of themselves!!!

(38,437 posts)We're going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. We're going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton.
The bond that has been broken between those who serve us in harms way and the government they serve is huge and to me every bit as damaging as Watergate.

This is a posting on his Facebook page, which has more deniability than words he actually spoke. But, it is HIS page and either he or someone he has given authority has attributed the comments to him.
This is beneath a witch hunt -- this is part of an orchestrated effort to find an excuse to smear the President and Hillary Clinton, regardless of the jusfication or lack of justification.

(81,320 posts)What was he in those republi-CON caucus meetings or fishy little CONservative closed-door cabals with his pals in the House of Reps? Did he talk up embassy security with any of them in the Capitol Hill dining rooms or hallways or hang-outs?

(3,248 posts)These tactics worked perfectly for the Republicans all through the Clinton years.
There was absolutely nothing to the whole Whitewater "scandal," and one official inquiry after another concluded that there was nothing to it, but they kept promising they WOULD find something, so the press followed along giddily and they kept getting more and more funding to finance more investigations, with a result that the average American today is still vaguely sure that the Clintons did something illegal there and somehow managed to cover it up.
When an action is rewarded, it will get repeated. This is already getting rewarded with press coverage.

(14,887 posts)My Clinton hating grandmother ended up on all the fundraising mailing lists.. You would not believe some of the distorted crap mailed to her. It got so anyone going down to check her mail box, just stood by the waste paper bin and left half her mail there. If she saw it, she would send them money.

(100,080 posts)Instead they're chasing an invisible bogeyman that's the result of a completely fabricated conspiracy theory.
The questions they should be asking:
1. Who made the film "The Innocence Of Muslims"?
2. Who leaked it to the Egyptian media, and how was it timed to provoke such an attack?
3. Did the people who made "The Innocence Of Muslims" have an agenda against President Obama?
These are the things I want to know about Benghazi, not some bullshit fabricated conspiracy.

(5 posts)Lindsey Graham is such a closet case (seriously, he is), that I can't trust anything he says. This witch hunt, however, proves two things to me: 1) The Republicans are very scared of Hillary - and - 2) They have no clear front runner who is strong enough to run against her, so they are starting now with their 2016 attack on Hillary.
Also: Gutless cowardly closet cases like Lindsey Graham NEED to be outed. I can't wait until it happens to him.

The Senator is not, however, clairvoyant at all. He is a merely a mean-spirited little cracker who is pissed his disgustingly corrupt political party failed to fix the last two Presidential elections (State-wide elections in South Carolina, as we all know, are much easier to steal).

(5,279 posts)I think He actually believes He is saving us.
Compare it to a pampered prince who after a moderately difficult journey to rescue the princess, finds her living quite well with the dragon. He stands and shouts "But It's a DRAGON" over and over to no avail. The princess continues to co-habituate with the dragon. Will she be eaten at some point or not, even the prince is unsure. And that scares the hell out of him.
Benghazi is republicanese for dragon.

(11,076 posts)...The rethugs used 911 for political gain. Over and over, to this day, they remind the American people. Through extreme coincidence OBL made tapes to scare American voters. The Rethugs are the masters of manipulation to create election intimidation.
Enter Benghazi. After refusing to fund security for our people in Benghazi the Rethugs use the attack to political gain. Lindsay even sights how a cover up impacted the election. When his lips are moving he is granting a tell. What he meant to say was that Benghazi happened and we the Rethugs tried to use it to impact the election. Projection my friends, clear and simple. These folks are off their rockers nuts!

(846 posts)Start with a conclusion, then search for "facts" that support that conclusion. Any contradictory facts are discarded. This applies to every category of conservative dogma, ffom climate science to economics to the definition of fascism.
Real investigation begins with gathering all the facts, then following them to a rational conclusion. Sometimes that conclusion is exactly what you had supposed, sometimes it isn't.
