South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said the Justice Department has “created a process” to review Ukraine-related information collected by President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Such a channel, as described by the close Republican ally to Trump on Sunday, would represent the most direct known involvement by Attorney General William Barr in dealings that led to the impeachment investigation that ended in acquittal last week.
Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was asked by Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan if the Justice Department was ordered to investigate Joe Biden for possible corruption related to his son Hunter Biden’s employment on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma when he was vice president. An effort by Trump to pressure Kyiv into investigating his political rivals, including the Bidens, was at the heart of impeachment case brought on by House Democrats.
The senator responded in the negative but noted the Justice Department is “receiving information coming out of Ukraine” from Giuliani. Graham said he heard it from Barr himself.
“He told me that they had created a process that Rudy could give information, and they would see if it’s verified. Rudy Giuliani is a well-known man. He’s a crime fighter. He’s loyal to the president. He’s a good lawyer,” Graham said on CBS.
I love how Lindsey Graham tries to make this all sound perfectly normal and reasonable.
It is absolutely NOT normal or reasonable.
In fact if this were happening during anybody else’s administration there would be a bipartisan investigation and possibly an impeachment trial.
But as we know the Republicans have inoculated Donald Trump against any of that.
This is the modern version of the crusades. The christian savior story has become so weak – BECAUSE NATURE IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING – that they reside in a tribalism as fake as the dead bearded Jew story they keep trying to preserve as literal.
FYI. With all your platitudes and summations so generously provided, you should know, nobody here thinks you are some kind of genius internet clairvoyant philosopher of the world around you.
ps. Hows the meth?
You might be right.
It must be $kkkarecrow.
America: who gives a shit, the Oscars are on.

Nothing in Miss Lindsey’s world is normal. He said the DOJ would vet the bullshit spewed by Putin to Screwdy rudy for accuracy (I just threw up in my mouth a little). Fake Noize claims tom, have the goods on Bidens presented by Rudy.
New Hampshire voters had this to say about drumpf…. https://www.newsweek.com/majority-democrats-prefer-meteor-wiping-out-humanity-over-trump-re-election-new-hampshire-poll-1486388
Is there a single wingnut out there that isn’t bat shit crazy?
Rudy Giuliani is a well-known man. He’s a crime fighter. He’s loyal to the president. He’s a good lawyer,” Graham said on CBS.
===================
the only truth in that sentence is he is loyal to the president. rest is B.S.
Who in the hell is rudy to be directing the justice dept to investigate anyone.
so they are going to manufacture documents in their basement and we are suppose to believe them , when hell freezes over.
this is revenge pure and simple, they are going to destroy the bidens just because little donnie wants revenge. I wish the democrats would ban together and everyone vote for biden as a big FU to trump
and S.C. needs to “eliminate” Lindsey in the next election, his brain has gone to mush.
I am surprised that Miss Lindsey let the cat out of the bag, I thought they would want to do this illegal stuff in secret, on the other hand I am presuming it is a warning to anyone that criticizes or mocks the dictator occupying the WH, you will be investigated by the justice department with bogus information.
thank you senate republicans for opening pandora’s box, this is all on you and may you all be voted out, with a slight exception to Mitt.
susan collins needs to be reminded everyday until NOV, what in the hell were you thinking?
You can tell who the Trump team is most worried about facing, because they are putting all their energy going after Biden. Internal polling must have convinced them they can’t currently beat Biden.
But as far a Rudy Giuliani, I wouldn’t believe him if he told me the sky was blue. He has zero credibility.

The purging has already begun, fire anyone that tells the TRUTH, next smear any political opponent.
Next up, rounding up American citizens.
Uh oh. Trump is going to be majorly pissed. The Obamas production company just won an Oscar for their documentary “American Factory.” Now Trump is going to bloviate about how he should have won an Emmy and he lost his star on Hollywood Blvd, blah blah blah.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/barack-michelle-obama-2020-oscarsamerican-factory-netflix-documentary_n_5e3f1ff1c5b6b70887012ade
“American Factory,” the first Netflix project released under the banner of Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground Productions, won an Academy Award at the 2020 Oscars on Sunday night.
The documentary, directed by filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar, won the award for Best Documentary Feature. The film chronicles what happened when a Chinese billionaire opened a new factory at the former General Motors plant outside of Dayton, Ohio, in 2014. It was produced by company Participant Media before the finished film was acquired by Netflix and Higher Ground.”
I’m sure he’ll have something to say about how he single-handed saved American jobs by keeping factories open and other bullshit.

“After opening remarks, takes one [question] on Lindsey Graham’s Ukraine claim, gives very general answer, then leaves before anyone can follow up, leaving rest of press conference to others.”

On the last day of Trump’s presidency, look for a “full pardon” being granted to former Senator Lindsey Graham, AG Bill Barr, (Russian) National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, Babbling nutcase Rudy Giuliani, & former Kentucky Senator Moscow Mitch & and Trumps adult kids (Trump’s siblings might also be on his pardon list). Oh, almost forget former U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes.
Vote them out!
