Is "The Lindsey Graham Defense" the best Trump loyalists can come up with?

    The Lindsey Graham Defense could be formulated as:

    "I will not read the evidence, therefore, Trump is innocent"

    If that's what they are going to argue from now on, they have given up on Trump. The one thing Trump loyalists have yet to understand is that this is not about convincing them, anymore than it is about convincing us. It's about convincing the American People. And I mean those who don't follow the events so closely.

    If anybody here was around during the Nixon impeachment years, they might remember how "Impeachment" flooded the airwaves. It was basically a 24/7 event on all channels. At least that's what it seemed to me when I was a kid.

    You might not be seeing on HBO, but basically all on-the-air channels will be talking non-stop about this once the public testimony stage begins.

    So if the Lindsey Graham Defense is going to be the only axiom with which you expect to defend the President, you are actually doing him a disservice.

    Even the worst criminal deserves a better defense than that.

    Really, Democrats better pray that this does not open up completely and expose: Eric Ciaramella, Alexandra Chalupa, Sean Misko, and Victoria Nuland.

    Once these 3 are exposed, especially Alexandra Chalupa who belongs in prison for Treason, the Democratic Party is going to look like the Soviets.

    If you don't know who these people are, you likely follow the MSM and are totally ignorant to what really happened here. It's a good think they sent Rudy Guiliani over there to get the information on Chalupa. This is going to be explosive. Adam Schiff is going to come off worse than Joseph McCarthy, especially with Eric Ciaramella consulting his good friend and Adam Schiff's staff member, Sean Misko prior to going to the IG/DoJ.

    One can sum up Taylor's "damning" evidence in his last statement "I don't know". Same is true of the rest of these so called witness. None of them actually know much of anything.

    Not at all. Reality is what it is and it doesn't align with you.

    Graham is sounding increasing absurd. He just suggested that Sondland's change in his testimony was an indication that he'd gone over to the Deep State.

    So, the inquiry into the Russia investigation is now a criminal investigation. And the left is la la la di da, Trump is guilty! Do you think Trump is guilty of investigating himself? This is amazing! I have heard the report will shock the core of the American people. I think the report will send the left scattering like cochroaches. Watch.

    Two days ago. He said he wouldn't read the transcripts of the closed hearings...those transcripts will become "evidence" of the quid pro quo the President was offering to the President of Ukraine for the appropriated military assistance in exchange for investigations into Biden and the 2016 election. "The Hill" was one source regarding the story...just google "Graham refuses to read transcripts."

    There was no quid pro quo.

    Your statement shows us you already lost any argument you hoped to make.

    So your answer to the question is "yes"... The Lindsey Defense is, in fact, the best Republicans can do. Hannity, Rush, Alex Jones... none of them could come up with anything better, huh?

    That's what I thought...

    That's the trade-off. You can easily get people who are not smart enough to figure out that you're toxic to support you. But then you're stuck with those same people who are not smart enough to defend you.

    Sure there was. A quid pro quo is literally "you do something for me and I'll do something for you." Trump's QPQ to the Ukrainian President was "you announce public investigations into Biden and his son's involvement in the Ukrainian energy company and an investigation into the Ukrainian involvement in our 2016 election and I'll release the aid to you and give you a meeting at the White House." That's basically the message being testified to in the closed depositions being taken of those involved. And, next week, you'll hear that testimony in public hearings.

    LOL, you can believe what you want right? I just want to say again, there was NO QUID PRO QUO! It's about to get very interesting and YOU are about to realize you have been lied to for years. That is if you can be honest with yourself. lol

    Sure I will, that's what you have been told so you expect me to believe that. Get ready bucko, you are about to be smacked upside your head with the truth. I am curious if you are mature enough to accept it.

    Along with Alexandria Chalupa, arch villains Antonio “Cheezy” Enchalada and Pedro “Beefy” Tostada were knee deep in this horrendous caper. Guiliani and his trusty side kicks Lev and Igor were over in Ukraine trying to throw a net on this Fiesta Platter Of Crime before they end the world as we know it. Unfortunately, the Deep State agents arrested these two valiant crime fighters and won’t let them out of their homes in Miami let alone on this international dragnet. THIS IS BIG.....
