Lindsey Graham Plans To Investigate Obama During Virus Pandemic

Lindsey Graham Plans To Investigate Obama During Virus Pandemic


Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that he would launch an investigation into Obama “surveillance” of Mike Flynn.

Graham said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures, “Seems to me, there’s a tale of two FBIs here. The FBI agents that we all admire in the field office, and this hit squad that McCabe and Comey put together operating out of the seventh floor. I want to know why Flynn was being surveilled by the Obama administration to begin with. You know, the Obama administration is surveilling the National Security Adviser of the president-elect. What the hell was that all about?”

Video of Graham @ link:

Graham has gone all-in on the popular Obama/Flynn right-wing conspiracy theory. Graham and others conveniently leave out the fact that Flynn was illegally lobbying for the government of Turkey. There is a very simple reason why Flynn was being watched. He was engaged in illegal activity.

Trump’s conspiracy fantasy to make the Russia scandal go away doesn’t work if Flynn was doing something wrong, so Republicans are just forgetting about the crime part and focusing on the conspiracy.

Trump and Graham are so desperate to investigate the case against Mike Flynn because they are trying to discredit the Russia scandal before the election.


Obama warned Trump not to hire Flynn, but Trump ignored him, and now Lindsey Graham is trying to cover up Trump’s criminality and incompetence with an investigation into Obama.

FBI picked up Flynn telling amb. not to worry about Obama sending a planeful of embassy people back to Moscow in retaliation for their election interference...all that would change once Trump was in charge. Or, FBI may have surveilled Flynn after photo of him sitting at banquet table with Putin. There was cause to investigate Flynn.

... is an investigation into WHY Lindsey Graham went from calling Trump an "unfit kook' to being a Trump ass-kisser - which happened in a matter of hours after a round of golf.

THAT'S what needs to be investigated. What was he threatened with that turned him around so quickly and completely?

After McCain died Graham turned into a tea party nut bag. He will do or say anything to hold power.

Let's just take things in the proper order.

First, the emails;
second, Benghazi;
third, pizzagate;

then maybe we can get to the criminal investigation of that former occupant of the White House.

Maybe we'll have a look at the fake pandemic some other time.

I would just LOVE them to subpoena Obama, and have him actually show up, and testify UNDER OATH, that trump and his whole campaign crew were outright criminals, and that even Lindsey and Yertle knew this, and did nothing AND OH BY THE WAY, HERES THE PROOF, HERES THE FILES.

These miscreants had better hope it's at least another 5 years before we get the unredacted Mueller Report, because if releasing it is the first thing the next AG does come February, they're all fucked.
