Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that he doesn't care if President Trump told former White House counsel Don McGahn to fire
special counsel Robert Mueller.
“I don’t care what they talked about. He didn’t do anything. The point is the president did not impede Mueller from doing his investigation," Graham said Sunday on CBS's "Face the
Nation" when host Margaret Brennan noted that, according to the special counsel's report, Trump in 2017 ordered McGahn to fire Mueller.
“I don’t care what happened between him and Don McGahn," Graham continued. "Here’s what I care about: Was Mueller allowed to do his job? And the answer is yes.”
The report says that McGahn refused when Trump ordered him to fire Mueller. The report states that he decided "that he would resign rather than trigger what he regarded as a potential
Saturday Night Massacre." Trump last week denied ordering McGahn to fire Mueller, saying that if he wanted to fire the special counsel, he would have done so himself.
Still obstruction even if it wasn't successful.
This fucking guy
The point is the president did not impede Mueller from doing his investigation,"
Pretty sure there's a section where he talks about being hindered by how uncooperative the administration was but okay.
You will.
Haven't you heard? Attempted murder doesn't count if it doesn't succeed. Intent never legally matter.
Okay pussy.
"Sure I kept trying to hire assassins to do the deed - but none of them actually went out and did it! No Assassination!"
says the guy who has to get someone else to fire anybody who has enough of a spine to say no to his face.
I DON'T CARE DO U?
Seems to be a White House motto.
I miss Jon Stewart's impressions of Graham so much. I wonder what he'd come up with to satirise this situation.

Friendly reminder that Lindsey Graham has no principles and what he says doesn't count for shit.
Was Mueller allowed to do his job? And the answer is yes.”
evidently not though because the report clearly states that refusal to cooperate and other things like this limited the conclusions the report could draw.
Probably something akin to the time he crawled on top of his desk screaming "listen to me, Turtle Man!" and "SON OF A BITCH!".
This is Graham in a nutshell. Sucking the teet of whoever can keep him in office/give him power. Oh, and election year is coming up; Guess who is favorable in SC again........

I fucking loved that segment. I miss him so much.
if we say it's not a crime then it isn't, and if it is, we don't care - GOP circa 2019
