    Sen. Lindsey Graham on Wednesday said he will alert House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the GOP-controlled Senate will not impeach President Trump over his phone call with the president of Ukraine.

    “They’re about to destroy the nation for no good reason,” Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told “Fox & Friends.” “And I want Nancy Pelosi to know that Republican senators are not going to impeach this president based on this transcript so she can stop now before she destroys the country.”

    Graham, an ally of the president, said he is enlisting other Senate Republicans to sign a letter he will send to Pelosi stating they “do not believe the transcript of the phone call between the president and the Ukraine is an impeachable offense.”

    Obviously he didn't feel the same when he was "willing to destroy the nation over impeaching Bill Clinton",or is it only impeaching Dirty Donald that destroys the nation????Clinton unlike Dirty Don won both the popular vote and the electoral vote.

    What does that have to do with anything? In my country, we all elect the president based on the electoral vote. Been that way since 1836, with some revisions.

    Yeah. I mean after all
    "You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office."

    If Dirty Donalds errand boy Lindsay is saying regardless of the evidence the right wing will never convict HIM I tend to agree.Further proof that they are just like Dirty Donald no morals, ethics or sense of justice.

    Bill Clinton lied to Congress under oath. That's called perjury. Definitely a high crime. A felony in fact.

    Lindsey Graham to tell Nancy Pelosi that Senate will not impeach Trump.

    What you meant to say is that the senate won't convict him. She already knows that. The motivation for the impeachment has nothing to do with what Trump did or removing him from office. The purpose is to hurt Trump's chances for re-election. It is all about power politics.

    Not only that, the headline is inaccurate and misleading, which causes it to be a lie and fake news. Most people don't read past the headline and news editors know it.

    Lindsey Graham said he wouldn't convict based on the phone call alone.

    Apparently, Graham is happy to let Trump defy Congressional oversight.

    If we had booted out Slick Willie, there never would have been a President Trump.

    There is no such thing as the popular vote. It has as much legal significance as the potato vote.

    Incorrect. Impeachment is about whatever the House says it's about. They can impeach for literally any reason or no reason at all.

    It is an unqualified power for Congress to remove the Presisent.

    Someone needs to remind Sen Graham that the Senate doesn’t “impeach” anyone...

    That's a quote from Lindsey Graham. Seems he may have changed his mind since the Clinton days.

    Clinton never testified to Congress - under oath or otherwise.

    That the House has the unqualified power to remove the President from office for any reason or no reason at all doesn't mean any representative has to vote in favor.

    Graham said nothing to conflict with my comment.

    Impeachment because you just don't like because they beat your anointed one is goofy.

    They're heading toward impeaching Trump for his effort to use a foreign power to influence the 2020 election, not because he beat Useless Hillary.

    And you knew there was no there there before Mueller investigated because...?

    IMO, Trump should be impeached and removed by the Senate for refusing to allow Congressional oversight. The only check on a misbehaving President is impeachment.

    sadly Mueller knew there was no there there before his investigation started. But he knew the mission statement was a witchhunt and fishing expedition so it didn't stop him or 15 radical leftists who actually ran the asylum hiding behind Mueller's reputation from screwing the country for 2 more years

    Yes, we knew from the get go the haters are looking for any even the most absurd and bogus excuse, an unpaid parking ticket, jaywalking, never returned library book included to overturn the result of a legitimate election but thanks for finally admitting that anyway.
