According to a report from The Hill, Graham said that if his Republican colleagues introduce a motion to subpoena Joe Bidens son, he said I vote against it.
The Hill report adds, Grahams 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 dont want to call Hunter Biden. I dont 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.

Looks like the stage is being set for democrats to have any witness they choose and Republicans locked out in their own house.
Possible. But it seems increasingly likely that that the GOP Senate intends brand acquittal with no witnesses as “winning”. Without a vigorous investigation of the CIA backed coupist impeachment operation it is anything but that. President Trump’s ability to conduct foreign policy and govern has been significantly attacked without any consequences to the perpetrators.
It should be obvious by now the GOP and Deep State are using this to hamstring President Trump’s foreign policy that they do not support and to damage him for 2020.
They ought to subpoena the fake whistleblower who started this sham. Trump has a right to face his accuser.
“Graham is as corrupt as Biden.”

He sure is. And his buddy Juan McCain was in hip deep, too.
That’s where Trump’s lawyers come in.
I'm not.
Biden owns Graham.
Mostly agree that strategy and timing is important, with some caveats:
* Current venue of Senate might not be best for lengthy publicity of witnesses, but:
* We’ve had a lot of Q-promoted false starts: “trust Sessions, Rosenstein is a crypto-white hat, watch out for Huber”... while Barr (whom I mostly respect) concludes that Epstein DID kill himself.
* Time is growing short— this campaign will either be fought in an official domain (like the courts or the Senate) or an unofficial one, i.e., the campaign trail. Sitting here at my laptop, its hard to figure what’s best, only that there’s been 3 years of sedition, and if the country wasn’t half-blinded by the MSM, we’d have an 80% lynch-em landslide. But, it is. When and how to strike/convince?
I hope everything’s OK... Lindsey’ acting a bit queer.
I agree also. Let us not forget Durham.
Rather, he hopes this can become another promise he'll never keep.
Lindsey
Graham
ping!
Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.
Remember that linda is up for reelection in 2020.
Remember also that linda is writing a Red Flag bill.
No offense, but you are clueless. The entire mess started because President Trump wanted to make sure that US funds went to a country that wasn't corrupt. Do you not understand the concept? After he got rid of the corrupt US ambassador, and was comfortable with the new president of Ukraine, he released the funds - long before the deadline to do so.
The reason Lindsay is having pause, is because he was a recipient of the ill-gotten gains, along with his buddy John Frickin McCain - who I hope is enjoying the warmth of hell.
So just enough votes to get the house it’s witnesses but not quite enough for Trump to have his defense witnesses. Another fair process like the house process. Unbelievable how willing the corrupted Repukes are to throw Trump under the bus. He needs to run against all of these pukes. They are probably in on the impeachment scam so Trump doesn’t primary them. He should primary them all. Trump Presidency is what’s needed. GOP house and Senate...Not so much
Understand, takes time to untie a seemingly Gordian know but if you want to get rid of a problem long in creation it is not done with a few arrests no matter how high level they may seem. Someone is alwys ready to step into te breach and keep the ball rolling unless yu rip it out by the roots
Ad this by no means began with the Clinton’s, long before they appeared on the scene
The exposure f Biden and others will be a foundation plank of the reelection campaign and things that will proceed in his next term
That’s not what will happen. They will vote down Trump’s witnesses but not the ones the Dems want. The vote should be can each side call whomever they want, yes or no. Anything else is a scam created by both parties.
yeah, he’s dirty
I’m sure, as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lindsey will hold some hard hitting hearings concerning the Biden’s involvement in Ukraine corruption, just like all those other hard hitting hearings he’s held concerning past DOJ, FBI and other government agency corruption during the Russia hoax and the follow-up hoaxes.
“Graham is as corrupt as Biden... that is why he does not hold hearing ever..useless SOB...”
Oh come on! Linda threatened to “write a letter”, and he did! And he will schedule hearings into Burisma in 2031, or April 31st, whichever comes first!
Only if the grand jury is based far from DC. No jury composed of WDC citizens can be impartial. Too many rat supporters.
The beginning of the GOP Senate collapse. They are such worthless cowards. Never forget Graham was McCain’s sock puppet. I pray for Trump. He’s fighting alone. I hope he knows that.
So ALL of us are clueless?
