Senate Judiciary Cmte. Chairman Graham says he will grant a longtime Democratic request to have former Special Counsel Mueller testify before the committee.

called on Graham to request Mueller's testimony to discuss his report at the conclusion of the investigation into Russian electoral interference, but Graham had denied the request. Mueller would testify before the House Intelligence Committee later that year.in April 2019."We will have [Attorney General William] Barr come in and tell us about what he found. I made sure that Mueller was able to do his job without interference. The Mueller report is over for me. Done.

In his op-ed, Mueller wrote that he felt"compelled to respond both to broad claims that our investigation was illegitimate and our motives were improper, and to specific claims that Roger Stone was a victim of our office." "The Russia investigation was of paramount importance," he added."Stone was prosecuted and convicted because he committed federal crimes. He remains a convicted felon, and rightly so."

Trump commuted Stone's prison sentence Friday night — a decision that has sparked backlash from Democrats and a small number of Republicans.

Boy, you want to see, “A day late and a dollar short !?”

Why now?

SethAbramson REMINDER: LadyG is up for re-election. That’s the only time they try to play nice.

SethAbramson He just remembers how poorly Mueller performed in front of the House committee and surely thinks it'll be more of the same.

SethAbramson Graham your just trying to save your ass come Election time. 🌊

UROCKlive1 So they’ll call Bolton and all the other impeachment witnesses too?

A day late and a dollar short Senator. You had so many opportunities to serve your country and impeach this criminal in the White House but you failed miserably. You and your party allowed the Trump criminal enterprise to thrive. Too late. HereRightMatters

SethAbramson Why do I feel like this is a con? He wouldn’t do this unless he knows what Mueller will say.

here's MY OP ED

Our laws actually state that if you're wealthy you don't deserve to be in jail & you can go, but if you're poor, you have to stay! Wealth should never be the determining factor that decides whether or not you stay in jail. Rich politicians wrote laws to mass incarcerate the poor!

SethAbramson

I don’t trust him. They are up to something

Why now

Yaaaaaaay... the cracks are beginning to form: all the olde sycophants - now trembling at the 'administration's' plummeting approval ratings - are turning on dad like rabid dogs BUT I STILL LOVE YOU DAD!!!

SethAbramson Their mounting desperation is showing.

DocTucson Believe it when I see it.

SethAbramson One thing with Graham: Always, *always* expect him to be operating in bad faith. Not sure what his reasons are for doing this, but there is zero chance they are coming from a good place.

What POSSIBLE motive except to “exonerate” Trump, Stone, etc?

SethAbramson he knows he is losing and wants to seem concerned!

DocTucson Uh oh. Someone e is worr I’d about their re-election handed!!! Sorry Lindsey, your flip flipping is not needed by the great USA.

SethAbramson Whats Lady G got up his sleave

SethAbramson Interesting that he says this on the same day that he golfs with Trumpie.

He'll just bring him in and then double down on his support for Trump's actions.

SethAbramson Is Lindsey trying to seem magnanimous and open to bi-partisan efforts again? Democrat Harrison must be doing well in the polls. What says Mueller about all this?

Love it LindseyGrahamSC realDonaldTrump

Somewhat suspicious timing.

SethAbramson Sure he's been talking to trump and stone and they have a plan for Mueller.

SethAbramson They’ve got dozens of distractions up their sleeves

milenaac How can calling Mueller at this point possibly benefit Graham, Trump and the Republicans? The base are already true believers and this will just peel off wavering undecideds against them.

SethAbramson Will Libs understand that Muellers appointment was illegal? Will the understand all of Muellers work and arrests will be overturned? How long before Mueller has a Stroke? Before or after he is Indicted? Nothing can stop what’s coming.

SethAbramson Lindsey is feeling a desperate need to throw a pie in some Trump enemy’s face yesterday.

Thank you LindseyGrahamSC for allowing Mueller testimony. We want to know if he was aware of January 5th meeting in Oval Office and also, Logan Act said by Joe Biden. Why did he not pursue them? Why did he not mention all those things? Mueller must testify and set the record.

SethAbramson IT'S. A. TRAP!

SethAbramson Why the change of heart LindseyGrahamSC?

Another waste of time by Graham. Mueller probably didn’t write the op-Ed and he’s as senile as Biden.

SethAbramson What the angle, LadyG?

malialavender It is a set up to try to make Mueller look bad and bunker boy donny dotard look good

SethAbramson Finally, some good fucking news.

SethAbramson Hey Graham! Get in line behind this guy!

SethAbramson What’s his angle...

SethAbramson Graham is trying to save his own ass. Too late Lindsey... you're as crooked as the rest of them who blindly followed orange popsicle and his personal AG.

SethAbramson Why not during the trial?

SethAbramson If he lies will the president grant him clemency? Jk. Mueller is an American hero and would never lie under oath.

SethAbramson Flip flop yet again, LindseyGrahamSC . Vote harrisonjaime

SethAbramson Anyone else hoping it is too late for Lindsey to jump ship?

SethAbramson Miss Lindsey wants to humiliate him. Don’t let him do it! He’s being two faced!

SethAbramson What’s up with that Have we had an awakening?

SethAbramson He’s going to vilify him for the Orange Clown 🤡

SethAbramson Fine. Mueller will show up and won't hold back.

Paniccc

1. LindseyGrahamSC will use this opportunity to protect realDonaldTrump. 2. If he wins his election and loses the Senate, he's looking for leverage to say that he called someone the Dems wanted. Every move with LadyG is political.

About time. Better late than never.

Need to ask Mueller why he hired only partisan Democrats for his investigation? Why did he continue the investigation when he discovered no Russia collusion 2 weeks into the investigation? Why did they charge individuals for process crimes?

What a crock of shit this is.

Lindsey will write Mueller an email threatening his dog.

BFD

This is just an effort to delay Bill Barr's testimony 🙄

Graham thought it was OK to commute Roger Stone’s sentence and now he wants to hear from Mueller? Something sounds very fishy.

After the election

First of all, if its' coming from NBC News, it will be leaning 'Left', What good would any testimony from Mueller do? He already answered the democrats questions at the House committee hearing.

Trumps ship is taking on water!

Watch this, amazing!!

And Your time as a US senator is done LindseyGrahamSC

Lindsey Graham is a creep!

About damn time. Just close enough to the election to help Lindsey 😏

They are not even at work. He knows this will never happen, just like his ruler, this is a photo op.

Subpoena TRUMP

this loser.

Graham just saw his poll numbers, huh?

Wow, he must be really worried about his re-election.

Careful what you ask for LindseyGrahamSC. An Unplugged Mueller at a Congressional hearing may be the undoing of you and your boss.

What’s his game, I wonder?

FUCK LADY G, AKA LindseyGrahamSC

Lindsey Graham says he will ask Mueller to testify before Senate Judiciary CommitteeRepublican Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that he will grant a request by Democrats to have former special counsel Robert Mueller testify about his investigation before the committee. Big deal. Mueller will no doubt be just as tepid as he was the last time. He could have made a difference. He chose not to. He's a GOP over country guy. Is he looking for some cover... an opportunity to clutch his pearls in shock for the cameras?

What a hack It’s best Mueller shut his mouth now. The damage he did to the office of presidency is unprecedented. Odds that Robert Mueller actually wrote that op-ed?
