According to a report from The Hill, Graham said that if his Republican colleagues introduce a motion to subpoena Joe Biden’s son, he said “I vote against it.”
The Hill report adds, “Graham’s opposition essentially kills the threat that Republicans have wielded in recent weeks that if Democrats win a motion to hear from additional witnesses such as former national security adviser John Bolton and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, they will retaliate by subpoenaing the Bidens.”
Graham claims that the impeachment trial, which centers around a call about the Bidens, is not the appropriate venue to look into their corruption.
“I don’t want to call Hunter Biden. I don’t want to call Joe Biden. I want someone to look at this when this is done,” he said Friday. “To my Republican friends, you may be upset about what happened in the Ukraine with the Bidens but this is not the venue to litigate that.”

There is no need.... the Dems didn’t offer up anything... getting into the weeds isn’t needed...
If they bring up Hunter even though completely legitimate, the Dems spin it as an attack etc etc...
No need to go there... Dems haven’t proven anything... not even a hint of anything wrong....
Trump will be Acquitted, some D’s will vote to Acquit... Dems will it was a cover up.. no one but their own kool aid drinkers will care...
Bring up Hunter and the whole deep state will go ape crap, because they all have had their family and friends benefit from their positions... both sides of the aisle...
Yeah, whatever. Don’t you need to go repeat yourself some more?
is 100% better and BTW, there is already an investigation ongoing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m not convinced it’s 100% better since they all still have jobs there.
Indictments are what count.
If true, and I have no reason to doubt it, there will definitely NOT be ANY witnesses. Hopefully we acquit by next Thursday.
Do you believe the Democrats will support Graham?
“Yes, while it seems unpopular here, and the instinct is to go after the Democrats full force, I would much rather see this impeachment come to a quick end.”
It isnt unpopular. Most people on FR want this thing out of the way.
This isnt the arena to play cute. Get it out of the way and go from there.
The time for taxpayer $$$ wasting, bogus investigations is long over. It's long past time for these traitors to be pulled in an early morning raid and charged. That's NOT going to happen, for any reason, as the result of any investigation, no matter what at this point.
Thanks for that analysis.
Lots of emotion-driven comments on this thread, sad to report.
I continue to give Sen. Graham the benefit of the doubt, post McCain, even when I don’t agree with him.
Hunter Biden would be a huge distraction, much as I’d like to see him pilloried by Trump’s attorneys.
Let’s just get this farce over with, and concentrate on winning the election.
Political revenge can start after Trump is sworn in for his second term.
I say that any witness the democrats want to call should be called as any witness the republicans want to call. Otherwise no witnesses.
This will also hurt some corrupt republicans but many more democrats.
I do not trust Lindsay Graham. One must always remember that Lindsay Graham was John McCain’s puppet. John McCain through his actions was proven an anti Trumper and part of the cabal to take Trump down.
As mentioned, “I do not trust Lindsay Graham.”
what has Linda ever done but run his mouth and make empty threats
Wow! He must have his hands DIRTYYYYYYY!!! Very FISHYYYYY!
[He has his good moments (like during the Kavenaugh hearings) but is shit like this that makes me know he’s mostly a Deep Stater.]
Will ya look at that. We’re sitting here discussing witnesses instead of discussing the fact that these bogus articles are unconstitutional and the ONLY proper response is immediate dismissal. Screw the GOP. I won’t vote for another damned one. In fact, I might just vote for democrats from here on out to watch it all fall to hell. Maybe then we’ll at least have the opportunity to have a real fight to get back to where we need to be. It’s never going to happen with the way things are now, and the GOP sure as hell ain’t going to do a damned thing.
Thats fine. Then get a special prosecutor appointed and convene a grand jury.
You do trust a grand jury that is by citizens of the country no? Or is that obnoxious to you also?
How about a state grant jury? That would require the majority of states to convene..
Thanks...
Although the Rabbit sets the pace
Slow and Steady wins the race
I don’t and I don’t think he does either. But his rant a few minutes ago was epic and he put “his friends” on notice. No witnesses, end the charade and investigate Biden/Ukraine.
In fact, I might just vote for democrats from here on out to watch it all fall to hell
If you voted for Romney you already voted for a Democrat. I plead guilty there. I won’t be making that mistake again. Guaranteed.
On TV the other day he said if he had a decent lawyer he would just take the 5th. In which case he wouldn’t appear and it would be a wasted vote. He has a very good point.
Putting the whistleblower on the stand would be a better person to get on the stand. Biden can be investigated properly outside of impeachment. Because he will be a no show/5th during this trial.

“...Graham claims that the impeachment trial, which centers around a call about the Bidens, is not the appropriate venue..”
What is the appropriate venue you flaccid tool? Hasn’t held one hearing near as I can tell. Useless as teats on a boar.
