Graham: If anyone knows whether there was collusion, it's Flynn

BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 12/03/17 11:09 AM EST

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that if any member of President Trump’s campaign knows about potential collusion with the Russians, it is former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

During an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Graham said that Americans will know “pretty soon” if there was any collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia, now that Flynn is cooperating with the special counsel’s probe into the allegations.

“If there was coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russians, I can’t think of a person who would know more about that than Flynn,” Graham said. As far as potential collusion, Graham said “you’ve found the one person who would know if it did exist,” referencing Flynn.

“So it won’t be long before we understand, one way or the other, whether Trump people colluded with Russia because I can’t imagine it happening and Flynn not know about it,” said Graham.

Given his waffling back and forth on any issue (ie. Calls Trump a Kook - No, he disagrees/is tired with people who call Trump a Kook), defends Trump, then goes against him, then back again....

Now he makes this statement about Flynn? Is he serious in that statement or is this a "set up"....

Nothing that comes out of Grahams mouth is worth listening to...

Or an hour later from his last statement. He may start to walk it back or he might say the complete opposite...you never know with Graham. Same as McCain.

No, Lindsey, COLLUSION is not the issue. So quit beating a nonexistent horse.

CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES is the issue.

The question I have: Why is Lindsey, who has professional experience as an attorney, pushing this false narrative? He KNOWS that Conspiracy is the issue, not collusion.

Isn't what Lindsey's doing normally called promoting a "Red Herring"? Conspiracy is the allegation, Big Boy.
