Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Salem witches got a better deal than President Trump after viewing the House Judiciary Committees impeachment plans.
The presidents ally condemned House Democrats setup of the impeachment inquiry on Twitter after House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to the White House inviting the president to attend the Judiciary hearings beginning on Dec. 4. The president is supposed to respond by Sunday.
Graham said that was unfair, noting that Trump was being asked to testify after evidence had already been collected in hearings conducted by the House Intelligence Committee.
Jerry Nadler is inviting President Trump to participate in the Judiciary Committee hearings after all the facts were gathered in Schiffs Intel Committee where the presidents team was shut out, he posted. Salem witches got a better deal than this.

(115,899 posts)that GOP representatives and staff counsel had an equal opportunity to question all of the witnesses. Unfortunately for them, though, the witnesses were solid and truthful (except maybe for Sondland), and their questioning by the GOPers consisted of bluster and ineptitude. But Lindsey knows that there are certain talking points he must recite in order to keep his treasured position as the biggest zit on Trump's ass.

(25,111 posts)compare this to Salem Witch hunt. Innocent people died because of superstition and lies. Yes, lies, just like what Graham and the rest of the Republican party are doing right now along with their chosen asshole. Conspiracy bullshit.

(18,486 posts)Everyone knows that the Constitution guarantees every suspect the due process right to participate fully in the police investigations - which is why suspects and their defense attorneys are always present and participate when police officers and detectives interview witnesses get to require investigators to interview additional witnesses they select.
Duh. Hasn't anyone watched The Closer?
Oh, wait a minute. The Constitution DOESN'T require that? What's that you say? Even though the Constitution doesn't require that, the House Democrats gave Trump and his lawyers the ability to participate fully anyway, but they chose not to?
Really?
So, what's Lindsey Graham talking about? Is he stupid? Or does he think we are?
