Lindsey Graham: Appoint special counsel to investigate 'bureaucratic coup' against Trump

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday he believes “a bureaucratic coup” led by enemies of President Trump is taking place at the Justice Department, and the senator asked that a new special counsel be appointed to investigate.

Graham, a veteran member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the comments on “Fox News Sunday” in response to questions about a report that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein suggested secretly recording Trump and possibly using the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office.

Graham said he didn’t favor firing Rosenstein, who has denied the report and said he never advocated for removal of the president. “He shouldn’t fire Rosenstein unless you believe Rosenstein’s lying,” Graham said.


Instead, the South Carolina senator pointed his finger at others in the department who he said have “tried to destroy this president.” He specifically referred to former FBI officials Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page andPeter Strzok.

Looks like Trump has replaced John McCain as the alpha male in Lindsey's life.

Between that and being a ratfucking little Republican toady, Graham is more than willing to belch FOXish conspiracy theories to protect his interests.
