WASHINGTON - The lead Democratic prosecutor accused President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday of setting up a corrupt scheme to pressure Ukraine to help him win re-election this coming November.
“To implement this corrupt scheme President Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into two discredited allegations that would benefit President Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign,” Schiff said. The case against him is focused on a July 25 telephone call in which he asked Zelenskiy to open a corruption investigation into the Bidens as well as a discredited theory that Ukraine, not Russia, meddled in the 2016 U.S. election.
In Davos, Switzerland, Trump told reporters at the World Economic Forum that he was happy with the way the trial was going.
CRACK HEAD! Every Patriot WANT HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL
He never remembers to take his SSRIs... then his breasts swell and he gets so damn irritable.
What’s Trump got on you LindseyGrahamSC ?
Pretty sure that Democrats aren’t hiding or denying that fact so you’re not really exposing anything senator. We make it pretty obvious. 🙄
Corrupt stooge.
Nope. We only want tRump
Sen. Graham is a fake!! Talks out of both sides, baitandswitch take the mic away from that HYPOCRITE!!! Now that's fake news!!!
Vote them all out. Democracy
You!! They’re trying to destroy you, LindseyGrahamSC. And I totally agree with that line of attack.
The little boy speaking has already been destroyed by his king.
Crazy, over the rainbow, he’s crazy. This guy needs to get back on his meds or retire and move back to Russia.
as usual, hate get the better of the hater.. The media and the democrat party are destroying themselves
Because the SenateDems HouseDemocrats are all greeneyedmonsters
Graham should just zip it 🤐 He keeps on making a fool of himself 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
He is gone rogue
This is the same speech a football coach gives when the team is down by 30 points at half time.
Ya know we could be smart and play it safe for a little while. Trump isn't helping anyone except himself.
Know the feeling myself.. Destroyers hate strong realist thinkers.. After this !
Republicans are the biggest trash problem in 2020, where can we deposit them?
Bwahhhhh. He is up to his eyeballs in Trump shit.
Sorry. To defer what you are doing is to destroy the painful work of generations of blood and sweat to create in the name of democracy. And because of a misfit you have wipes off from history the meaning history the meaning houy idiot.of the word democracy
This means you don't care for American citizens
Draining the swamp Trump created, before the corruption, nepotism, coverups, and demagoguery eat America's soul.
Poor LindseyGrahamSC has fallen so low he has nowhere to go November 2020 put him out of his misery
We didn’t make trump extort Ukraine to help absolve Putin & cheat to win re-election, dummy. He got caught. Now he pays.
Repubs went all-in on Trump, no backing down now. They'll take the GOP with them, wherever they end up.
TRUMP2020! ❤️🙂❤️
LMAO at the TDS.
Yea right! You are misinformed Senators, we the USA have not traded our democracy for republican corrupt horse shit. History will be a witness to a fixed republican sham trial and massive cover up! The men in the White House is not worth a wooden nickel!
Tired of this hypocrite geythe stage... only in Ameryis a bj more of a crime than ransoming a nation’s aid for political gain!
The biggest hypocrite in the GOP. Lindsey has no credibility or morals. He's so far up Trump's a*rse he passed Nunes on the way.
Somebody must have video of Graham, a goat, and a pair of rubber boots. ImpeachmentEvidenceDenier
Naw he’s doing a great job all on his own
Mad man ,
Your blind support of Trump even when he was wrong contributed significantly to Trump's impeachment .
Ha ha. If anyone is destroying anything, it's you in that corset and heels.
Well that’s rich coming from a republican. 🙄
Graham is a cheap Russian prostitute. He decided to be nothing more. The GOP is no longer an American political Party. There is no reason for real Americans to listen to any more of theses traitors’ bull crap.
brown nose much .. ?
Have another few cocktails...you’re a drunken old angry frustrated ...
He is absolutely correct!
Looking a little unhinged there, Mr. Graham.
No they are trying to keep 3 equal branches of government.
Yet he shook RepAdamSchiff hand recognizing his brilliance!! LindseyGrahamSC is noJohn McCain!!
Let’s check this clowns bank accounts, anyone
Why are u lying Shame on you
This red lyin fool!!!
Look who's talking 👀👀👀
The Democrats are not smart enough to destroy Trump the evidence is in that bunch of Democrats/Socialists trying to get the nomination to run for President..
So his defense is basically
Oh Lindsey. ...
Twisting logic is one of the symptoms of Anti-Christ, like making evil look good.
Lindsey watch out, you might get a heart attack tonite with all your LIES.
😂😂😂🤥🤥🤥👍on you knees again we see Lindsey
Same speech he gave during the Kavanaugh proceedings. As a JAG lawyer, as a congressman who made his reputation as a manager during the Clinton impeachment, the senator from South Carolina has no shame left.
This guy is an all time politician
Wait. Wasn’t Lindsey Graham on a crusade to destroy President Clinton? Didn’t he say, “you don’t even have to have committed a crime to be impeached?“ LindseyGrahamSC
Wrong. The only person who does not care about stepping on our democracy is Trump. Of course his call was perfect. To him, because it satisfied all personal needs and wants. Poor LindseyGrahamSC , Trump must have some nasty information on him, to keep him on a leash.
TrumpImpeachmentTrial TrumpIsGuilty IMPOTUS OR...HE IS GUILTY!!!
So rally your GOP comrades.
If it’s possible, hope the Democrats are able to take down this criminal ASAP!
Drama Queen 👑
LindseyGrahamSC if the dems are destroying Trump, you and your pals in the GOP had destroyed America, you specifically had destroyed your own backbone!
Look Sen Graham you are far reaching. Why? And if a democrat had done the same actions, that your party would be saying no witnesses, no documents, no impeachment? Ha! so 2 faced. GOPCorruptionOverCountry NonAmerican
All the faux outrage when you know you’re losing.
SteveSchmidtSES said it best describing LindseyGrahamSC
Sister Lindsey is on heat again
And all of us true Americans are sick and tired of it. We will kill to keep our freedoms and our President if we have to so you better let the sleeping dogs lie.
LindseyGrahamSC is bent on creating a dictator out of trump and he doesn’t what he destroys in the process of trying. If you live all your life only to end up as a pilot fish to trump you’ve failed as a human being, Lindsey.
This from Washington post: McConnell: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
Have I got this right? Graham's change of heart about Trump came right after he took a trip to Russia and they showed him something that was a tad embarrassing? I mean who wouldn't sell out their country to avoid embarrassment?
It so fun the act like this is different from when Obama got elected! What did McConnell say ? My new job is to stop him from getting re elected!! Stop the outrage please!!
I’m not sure it’s even irony. We need a new word for this phenomenon.
Trump’s a kook, as Liddle’ Lindsey said himself not so long ago. Kooks don’t need to be destroyed, but their fingers need to be pried off the nuclear football.
No one takes LindseyGrahamSC serious anymore. He’s just another puppet.
We’ll Lindsey, regardless whether Clinton or Trump, if the shoe fits, the accused must wear it in the USA. Not based on hate, dislike or political tribalism / on facts.
Senator Graham it is sad to see how you have lost your way and will be ending your political career supporting and being complicit to a corrupt president and administration. GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPTraitors GOPComplicitTraitors
LindseyGrahamSC if realDonaldTrump gets destroyed through the crusade for truth, then so be it. TrumpCrimesCommission will get you as well Lindsey.
So when and where was this? Is he one the nearly two dozen senators that were missing this morning?
Temper. Tantrum.
He looks like a religious preacher protecting his Lord
What a fool. He shd be arrested for protecting criminal offenses from going public. If one is the driver of a getaway car, he is as guilty as the murderers, thieves that he is helping to get away
Graham is selling out our country by looking the other way even though evidence presented speaks guilty.
What a jackass!!
LindseyGrahamSC Cry me a river! Are you kidding me? HOW can you stand up for him?
Let's get one thing straight Sen.Graham,every problem that Trump has to face up to is of his own making and a good opposition has the right to question his actions.Honest people don't end up in Trumps position because they don't hide from the truth.
What a hot turd.
Oh Lindsey.... you are a lost soul
Yup! And why? Cuz he’s on a crusade to destroy us all! Save the country, Graham. Do your job. realDonaldTrump
You are absolutely correct Senator Graham. The Dems know that President Trump will get re-elected in 2020. The two-facing corruption in our government has to stop.
My goodness!
and we do hope you will go with him, the days when you were respected have long gone
Someone please find out what they have on Lindsssssssey. I mean I think I know, but make it official.
Tit for tat, bro. He destroys the country, we destroy him. I think that's fair, don't you?
LindseyGrahamSC realDonaldTrump is on a crusade to destroy this country and he doesn’t care what he destroys in the process of trying to destroy this country.
You tried to ruin him when you called him a lunatic!
You deserve it, remember?
*whining and growling* - Trump's Pomeranian
This man is nuts and starts his righteous shouty, diatribe because he knows in his heart the man he defends is a liar and if this was a democratic president he would be gleefully convicting him.
You sold out so no one cares what you think.
This man and people like you are trying to DESTROY America. Get lost!
Might be prejudiced.
He’s right. We don’t care if we destroy Lindsay Graham too.
LindseyGrahamSC is full of 💩
You sre covering it up Lindsey Graham. You fail to acknowledge what he did and that sir is a coverup. You call yourself a patriot. BS
There goes the standard of US political elite 🙄
Well then Senator Graham....you will be voted out! Your choice!
The photos and video being leveraged over Graham have to be pretty insane!
Graham -trump destroyed himself again & again & again - not anybody else to blame - it’s all trump’s crusade 🤥🤥🤥🇺🇸
Trump lover!
YOU ARE CAUSING REPUBLICANS TO LEAVE THE PARTY!! Stop your ridiculous games, if he’s innocent then let the docs and witnesses prove it!
.LindseyGrahamSC, compose yourself man. Yes, they've got the goods. Have to think your clear panic is because the Senate Democrats have hit the bulls eye.
Lindsey Graham had my respect, used to try and do a lot of good things. True republican reformer, especially fiscal and campaign finance. Now he is willing to look the other instead of doing his duty. Country before party.
We had 8 years of Obama 🤣🤣
LindseyGrahamSC , is ambassador Bolden a part of the democratic crusade, inquiring minds would like to know.
LindseyGrahamSC meanwhile his puppets will do anything to prop up his authoritarian leaning regime so they can retain power and not bother with the Constitution or doing what's best for a majority of the American People. Talk about destroying the rule of law and normalcy.
So gay 😂
Nothing to say about the facts presented?
Ironic coming from LindseyGrahamSC as he is doing everything he can to protect Donald Trump and he doesn’t care that he is destroying our country in the process. Let’s weigh the difference...hmmmm....Donald Trump or the United States?.........No contest.
So this is what it looks like when you sell your soul to the devil
He's doing that all by himself!!!
He's got it backwards. LindseyGrahamSC is trying to bring down a democracy to protect realDonaldTrump . ImpeachAndRemove
that bourgeois bubba has a lot of damn gall to speak out loud knowing full well there is footage showing what a liar he is. c'mon, gop people! come on over to the people's side.
LINDSEY GRAHAM IS A PUNKASS
LINDSEY GRAHAM IS A PUNK!! TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY!!
Translation: 'I have aligned myself so closely with Trump that if he goes down, I go down, and it's making me panic.'
He is very emotional because if Donald Trump goes down a cash of videos showing him attending Jeffrey Epstein Island will be released
Go back to your fictional book and your imaginary friend.
So reverse of how he felt when he wanted to impeach clinton. Who knew.
He said the same thing about Kavanaugh.
The foundation of our government is being tested...why no witnesses allowed? Citizens from both parties want to hear from the witnesses.
No witnesses allowed...what are you afraid the people will hear?
Lindsey’s new boyfriend is under attack.
Give a break if your best friend was alive John McCain he would be telling you just where to go. He not here so right now he's turning in his grave knowing you are defending that jerk off.
The important thing here is Lindsey is TERRIFIED.
'My lands, they treat that poor Donald worse than a rented mule'. Aunt Pitypat
How was John McCain ever Graham’s friend!
You have lost it
Oh, you mean THAT hypocritical, lying Lindsey Graham. The one at the center of the efforts to undermine our democracy. Who gives a shit about him?
LeningradLindsey does looks so very desperate...all red in the face, hair messed up... Wonder if this means anything..i heard whispers but...
trump destroyed himself decades ago.
BS artist.
I noninate LenningradLindsy Graham for Best Actor Academy Award for this outstanding performance !
A holy war maybe, but not a crusade now Senator Graham.
Always on “spin” cycle.
How popular is Lindsey Graham in South Carolina?
Whereas LindseyGrahamSC doesn't care if he destroys democracy in his shameless defense of the indefensible. LeningradLindsey CorruptGOP
LindseyGrahamSC is defending realdonaldtrump with lies and propaganda, I guess that means he's on the Russian payroll as well. The entire gop Republican party has turned their back on America.

Llegaron las cruzadas de los pueblis bárbaros que destruyeron al imperio Romano... pero mira que hay gente ridícula de a verdá!
Thank you Lindsey for standing up strong. You have proven you have more courage then the whole Democratic Party.
Sen. Graham in 1999 In every trial that has ever been in the Senate regarding impeachment, witnesses were called. If we don’t get to call meaningful witnesses, direct witnesses to the point, is that you’re basically changing impeachment. Impeachment in the house is not the trial
Always has an open mind
Girl give it up. Tho dost protest too much
He sounds afraid. Is he speaking once for Trump and twice for himself?
Grumpy Graham needs to retire soon.
Lol Lindsay graham
And what does Lindsey’s opponent in the Senate race say? How about interviewing Jaime Harrison about impeachment and stop giving Graham free publicity. It’s only fair.
I know a cigar whom would like a word with y’all, ya chucklehead.
He has been looking more and more like someone who doesn’t sleep very well at night.
Is his hair turning Orange?
'... crusade to destroy this man' There goes Lindsey Graham, playing the angry white incel card again, riling up the Kavanaugh crybabies again.
This is what can be said of the Republicans in the Senate. 'The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot may, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
SHAME. ON. YOU.
Here we go with the drama....she needs to calm down
Where as the good Senator and friends are on course to destroy America.
Screen tests for Inherit the Wind
I would like to believe that Americans will rise up and destroy the greatest threat we’ve ever faced - the Trump regime and it’s evil cult.
He’s comes across like a pompous, ignorant, angry old fool at a golf club getting irate at a caddy boy for challenging the signing of a false scorecard - and all under the auspices of trying to protect the sanctity of an office that his boss has been desecrating on a daily basis.
Trust me, when a Democratic President does come to power in another 4-5 yrs, the GOP will go after him with daggers like the Dems have done with Trump.
And clowns like LindseyGrahamSC and other Trump sycophants are abdicating their responsibilities as lawmakers and senators. Do your job or resign. Taxpayers work hard for their money, an unaccountable senate must earn their $ just like anyone else.
Good
Donald Trump certainly destroyed Lindsey Graham...who is that scorched husk of a human up there at the microphone?
LindseyGrahamSC get off the drugs!!! Do your job!!!!!
Hypocrisy.
Trump is destroying himself and the the Republican party and Lindsey knows it.
Mr Graham could we please have some witnesses and evidence.
That’s fear right there
Who he thought was evil and incompetent until he was blackmailed
South Carolinians are going to replace this man of past days. South Carolina Graham is going home.
He sucks.
So. You can seek something from the Russians , But as long as you don’t get it , it’s all good. Wow!
Why is LindseyGrahamSC still talking? I wish if he fights for America like he fights for Russia and the Russian agent in WH 😁
Is he compromised? Hoping for scraps from trump’s table? What happened to Lindsey Graham? He appears to me to be a first class toady...
Hysterical Lindsey. He wanted to crush all to get to Bill Clinton. How quickly we forget. LindseyGrahamSC fool
You are destroying YOURSELF LindseyGrahamSC AmericanHustler
If trump didn’t break the law no one would’ve had to impeach him.
They identified a criminal, the evidence is plentiful, and he's important. Graham is an idiot.
You republicans are the ones destroying this country. You support a tyrant of a president who has violated his oath of office. You protect this person and by doing so allow him to violate our constitution only to protect yourselves. You have failed the country!!
I’d say even if what he is saying is true it’s worth it...
He seems terrified.
It's true. They say Trump is guilty of trying to influence the 2020 Election when it is the Democrats trying to overthrow the 2016 Election and stop him from being re-elected this Year. God help us.
Poor man needs psychological help
If this were a blow job, Lindsey just one-upped Monica Lewinsky.
LindseyGrahamSC is on a crusade to destroy our country and he doesn’t care what he destroys in the process of trying to protect donald trump. GOPCoverup
🤣 Lapdog Lindsey is at it again
LindseyGrahamSC the President has done this to himself. The only thing the Democrats are doing is doing their jobs, unlike you and the rest of the SenateGOP who are ALL looking the other way. Say goodbye to your jobs!
Isn't he ashamed of himself? What happened to this guy?
Did Lindsey see the video of Trump literally asking the Russians for the emails they stole? These clowns live in an alternate reality.
His Kavenaugh ploy. Scream, then scream louder. Attempt to silence through intimidation.
Well, ain't that too bad. No one is above the law. LindseyGrahamSC
Somebody get Lindsey to his fainting couch, stat!
FedtheEffUp1 LindseyGrahamSC So you rather defend the person who is trying to destroy America with the help of Vladimir Putin? There is a foul smell coming from your mouth, it smells like treason.
Aunt Pitty Pat
This is the same guy that once called Trump a “race baiting bigot”. Unfortunately, that was when his babysitter John McCain was still alive.
Translation: this could be the end of our GOP party.
Graham isn’t reliable information, no spine, no balls.
lindsay Graham is a shameful fool.
Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump are on a crusade to destroy this country and they don’t care what they destroy in the process of trying to destroy the United States of America.
What was it that tedcruz said about banging things?
BrainlessTraitor
LindseyGrahamSC, if destroying Trump saves the country and the Constitution, fine.
Same song from bipolar graham. How can he stand to live with himself? Oh right he doesn’t have any ethics
look how hard LindseyGrahamSC is working for his master, spreading crazy lies. South Carolina remembers similar sentiment, true sentiment you made about realDonaldTrump destroying the GOP . Don't know why, but we believed you more back then.
Amazed this man can stay upright with no spine.
71% of Americans want witnesses and documents, pull your lips of Trump's tool and do your damn job.
Questions: Do they perform drug testing on Senators? If not, start with Lindsey. Has a friend or relative done a wellness check on him lately?
So much for impartial.
unfortunately he Is absolutly right!
I'm surprised he isn't comatose after having to sit through all the hours of blah blah blah.
I know the voters of SC are not nearly as stupid as Graham believes them to be and will send him packing. Those I've met are certainly smart and understand Lindsey's crap.
Dude is starting to crack
Lindsey!!!
Projection. I say 'Republicans are on a crusade to protect this man, and they don't care what they destroy in the process of trying to protect Donald Trump.'
'Lying Lindsey, it more seems that Reckless Trump is determined to destroy himself.'
Would it be a crusade if there was a blue dress with half a mouthful stain on it?enabling foreign interference from a president has destroyed who you are
We know that Russia hacked the RNC the DNC. I can’t imagine who they shared the RNC information with, but there surely are a lot of republicans who appear to be under duress to support the destruction of the three separate but equal branches of government.
Can we stay focused? Was Trump’s conduct illegal or improper and does it warrant removal from office. Hear the evidence and quit the grandstanding.
Can we do a Freaky Friday or Parent Trap swap with Lindsey Graham for Lindsay Lohan?
Didn’t you say electing trumpy would be like a bullet to the head of the republican. What happened? Money? Or does he have something on you. You were right the first time.
Lol. Trump is his own worst enemy.
Destroying themselves
Such a coward.
I'm sure the poverty-stricken immigrant kids who came here only to be locked up in detention camps without their parents are thinking, 'dear lord, i hope nothing and no one gets destroyed in this impeachment process!'
LeningradLindsey is scared shitless!!
The lead in the bro’s versus Hoe’s campaign- unfortunately this time America is the hoe in question.
Sad dude..
Who cares what this angry women says.
Vote Graham out ASAP!
If trump was a democrat he at least would get due process
Projecting again Lindsay?
back in 1999
Just uphold the constitution for a change, Mr Graham.
He’s about to cry .
