Graham on the impeachment inquiry: 'I made my mind up. There's nothing there'

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) doubled down on his defense of President Trump amid the ongoing impeachment inquiry, arguing there's "nothing there" in the call between Trump and Ukrainian leaders to suggest the president did anything wrong.

"You make your mind up about the phone call. I made my mind up. There's nothing there," Graham said in an interview Saturday with KCCI, a Des Moines CBS affiliate.

"I'm trying to let the House know, 'You're dividing America for no good reason.' We got a lot of things we should be doing, like lowering drug costs and getting a trade deal with Canada and Mexico," he added.

Graham has been one of Trump's staunchest allies defending the president's actions amid the impeachment inquiry.

... the judge would dismiss them and they wouldn't have a vote on the verdict. Too bad that can't happen in the Senate.

Go have a little chat with the Majority Leader about the hundreds of bills the House has sent over to the Senate that haven't been taken up.

The Orange Sack of Meat that you genuflect to is dividing America DAILY for NO GOOD REASON. In fact, there's no reasoning at all, unless insanity, spite and vengeance constitute "reason."

I hope he gets his ass kicked out of the senate in 2020. It would be delish if the mccains campaigned against him.
