McCabe did say that if he was going down, he would take everyone with him.. Hopefully he will keep his word before he is suicided or killed in a car crash or random mugging..

Hurry up with the coup coup ka-chew

All BS. There is no coup. There is no emergency. All for the benefit of Trump’s dwindling base.

Look into our President first please

That’s precisely what we heard... unreal... this guy is so sleazy ... lyes under oath numerous times, was fired by the FBI and the IG, appointed by Obama btw, was the one who reported all of it recommending firing and prosecution. Where is the fn indictment?

Doing your job is not a bureaucratic coup, Mr. Graham. Continue in this vein, especially after your PAC took Russian Oligarch monies in 2016 is not wise. See Craig Unger - HOUSE OF TRUMP, HOUSE OF PUTIN - You, McConnell, Rubio and Kasich- all took monies claims Unger. Trump too.

If our new Attorney Barr is worth his salt he should prosecute these guys for Treason!

YesAnotherJenn Newsflash for Lindsey Graham. Discussing the 25th Amendment is not illegal and invoking it is not treason. It's constitutional.

Can the FBI investigate LindseyGrahamSC please..

Whatever you want comrad Linsey

It's time for him to be unseated.

Whatever keeps you happy TRAITOR!

Fbi is corrupt

YOU accuse ME ? I accuse YOU !!! Nazi Playbook

Huelfox2 Why is it that are pressed give so much credence to a former employee as if he's currently working within the government it's at best hearsay and opinion

to a new level

As he should.

A coup against Trump might be a very good thing!

I sure hope he will; however, Lindsey has lots of John McCain baggage. I don’t trust him at all.

Don’t they have anything better to do.

We need to investigate LindseyGrahamSC. He is complicit. What does Trump have on him

Lindsay will just use it as a way to cover up for Donald J Trump and find someone else to blame! Lindsay is no longer trustworthy!

Lindsey is compromised. Eventually we will find out that Russia or Trump has uncovered some dark skeletons in Lindsey’s CLOSET. Whatever it is, he has chose to put himself (ego and power) ahead of country. No credibility or morals. GOP LindseyGrahamSC SenateGOP

Why didn’t 60Minutes ask about the Steele dossier? That was the elephant in the room. Sloppy journalism.

And to think I used to think Lindsey Graham was looking out for the interests of the American people.

Webster says a coup is:a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. Can LindseyGrahamSC explain how the FBI protecting our nation against foreign interference 🇷🇺 that aided in electing individual1 is a coup? S.C and the US deserves better. harrisonjaime

This is Treason plain and simple they should face prison! I hope the new AG starts cleaning up all this corruption this is not good for any party that you are in they are trying to steal the will of the people.

McCabe should be praised not punished. He is at least doing his job and trying to investigate any potential threat to the nation. Graham has failed completely in honoring the oath he took to defend the constitution. Shame

I think trump and McCabe should testify at the same hearing and at the same time.

Good, maybe we’ll get some clarity as to why Republicans in Congress refuse to be a check on the executive branch and refuse to fully investigate Russian meddling.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 LindseyGrahamSC all you do is pointless things

Sigh. This is exhausting.

Yes Lindsey please investigate an office that wanted to protect the United States as opposed to you and republicans who would let Putin run the US through Trump to keep your power I think you and trump and minions should be investigated trips to Russia by fellow republicans

Trump is a disgrace and incompetence.Lindsey Graham should be investigated.

Careful what you wish for, Sen. Graham. An investigation, if transparent, will show why senior justice was alarmed.

LindseyGrahamSC - this President has lied more times than people can count, he has criticized so many good people in the most in disgusting way, he never admits mistakes, his tweets are so inappropriate, he praises dictators ...and you still support him? Why?

Lindsey is scramblig to look important while his career goes down the drain.

Well if it’s anything like every other time the senate has investigated anything, they won’t even be able to find the lunch menu.

Is Graham going to convince the nation that Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster never discussed the 25th Amendment? Uhhhhh....yeah....they did!

Get going we are behind you 100%! FBI hacks are liars and crooks should be in jail....

They need a special council set up to dig into everything they did for the last 8 years.

Did I hear he will be on Colbert tonight brain farting some more pap for liberal consumption that he will walk back the rest of the week? It's almost like a cry for help and him saying 'Arrest me!'

it was, he should

If Mueller was doing his job McCabe & manu others should be in jail!

Investigating them for doing their job? It wasn’t a coup but an effort to address concerns -GOP response just as troubling

The 25th Amendment is a coup?

Any Trumpers ever notice that Mueller, McCabe, Rosenstein, and Comey are lifelong FBI Republicans? The supposed 'rigged' system Trump complains of are investigators from HIS party! So much for that argument from the Trumpers.

Does anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 not realize the grave danger of National Security risk of the U.S.that you put your country in? What were you thinking? Have you gone thru your whole life making disastrous choices/decisions like this?

Or the exercising of the protections in the constitution

I’m certain Sen Graham wants to get into any FBI Agents briefs he can

this is 'a nothing burger'-- graham lies repeatedly to the american people, he will do anything to maintain the status quo of 'elitist white privilege'🍎🍎

Of himself?

Do we really want a coup in the country where a group of unelected bureaucrats take over.

Sit down, old man.

About time!

Senator Graham has too much free time on his hands.

stacylinton329 Senator stop warning them this just gives them time to get their stories straight! Talk about collusion!

There’s definitely a “deep state' conspiracy of career Justice Department officials to do there jobs in the best professional way. Can’t say same for Trump.

Lets investigate what traitor is blackmailing Graham with.

He's two years too late. That coup happened Jan 20 2017 when Putin and Trump took office.

LindseyGrahamSC while you’re at it why don’t you investigate what happened to your morals, your ethics and your oath to protect our country. There is no coup, just rational, informed people speaking up for our democracy. You should try it some time.

Somebody PLEASE propose an investigation of Graham's campaign ties to Russian oil interests and China. Formerly called an 'idiot' by Trump, Graham shows he his a schitzophrenic, sycophant and hypocrit - who was only stable thanks to the guiding hand of his friend, John McCain.

Lindsay Graham is correct. Read this. McCabeInterview Coup

RicardoAdams Need DoJ investigation with indictments.

Once you go orange, you forever wallow in the goo...

There’s certainly no shortage of Senate investigations. What there is though is a shortage of indictments from these investigations. Does a Senator get bonus votes to act like they are doing something?

There are very few Americans who do NOT see the UTTER CORRUPTION of TRUMP, his family & his administration, as well as the KNOWING COMPLICITY of Mitch McCONNELL as Sen Maj Ldr & the Republican Party as a group. If a DEMOCRATIC President were doing what Trump is (all of it)...

He’s right. It WAS an attempted coup.

Bring it on Graham, the truth can not be spun even under your leadership. I believe you have been yearning for power for a long time so go get I’m. Lol

Definitely a Coup!!

Finally. Expose the corruption

Hopefully Mueller is investigating him for being a spy and a puppet for Putin!! TRAITOR!!

Huh, discussing the 25th Amendment to the Constitution is a coup but investigating it isn’t partisan treason?

Her Lindsay Graham goes agin being trumps little puppy. Thinking he’ll get a bone.

Graham has no credibility anymore.

Good for Graham.

McCabe should be jailed for participating in a deep state coup to remove the duly elected president of the United States! Comey, Rosenstein, Strock, and his lover, AG Lynch; not to mention Obama and Hillary! All crooked unwilling to accept the 2016 election!!!

More treasonous obstruction from the GOP.

He should start with his self

Let’s be perfectly honest, in no other time has our democracy been on such shaken ground as it is now with our current White House. At no other time have our democratic values been tested and strained as they have currently. Russia is in our country.

Finally the real criminals are being investigated.

Linsey Graham “CRACKER “ is calling for so many Investigations, he’ll be out of office before he can finish them all ! Do a favor for America “CRACKER “start an Investigation on yourself and your Taxes and get it over with !! And take MICTH “Gobble Gobble “McConnel” with you 🙏

There will be so many investigations and counter investigations that no other Government business can be handled.

That’s exactly what it was. Thank you Sem Graham.

I recall Linsey Graham calling Trump a look and unfit for office....

Is Graham that blind as to what might frighten normally conservative FBI and DOJ men, predominantly Republican men, to be concerned about the actions of a President? These are not rogue men or rogue organizations. Is Graham that naive? Good God!

Hey look- a bird!

I want to know what dirt the russians and dump have on Lindsey? It must really be something.

Lindsey Graham has changed. Kinda reninds me of King Theodon from Lord of the Rings when he went completely mad.

Thank you 🙏

And each other look up John 3:16

Nice bed if you don’t know John 3:16 look it up it will change your life and move toward helping each other working together save America

Did they let him in every time in short with food warmth etc he would say John 3 16 don’t know what it is but it keeps a boy warm full

Asked a cop where can a boy that is cold go get warm cop him sent him to a place saying knock on the door say John 3 16 so the homeless boy

Good! Thank you Sen. Graham

Sad!

Wasted my time watching 60 Minutes this evening.

Go for it miss Lindsay, I’m sure you’ll uncover more things that will prove trump the traitor he is !!

Look I had tweeted on another tweet about from poor to rich working together to save our country well I have a story in short a homeless

Investigate Graham and McConnell

Oh Lindsey, you shouldnt be investigating anyone seeing as you are knee deep on the Russia crap. $$$$

From all the sensitive responses it appears that people are worried about Graham finding proof.

All republicans can do is waste money and whine when they get caught being assholes... And they call us snowflakes? Before any Trumpeters chime in.... Manaforts seized assets already paid for the investigation into interference in our democracy. What did your Benghazi find?

History will be very unkind to Sen. Graham. He has lowered himself to the level of Nunes, Gowdy, Jordan, and Pence.

Graham needs to step down and let someone else be senator.

Did he ask Trump for permission or did Trump call him and tell him to do it. Every since Lindsey played golf at Mara Largo he has been a changed man. What happened down there Lindsey?

How about an investigation into why Senator Lindsey Graham has done an about-face pertaining to Trump.

'Perennially constipated face' guy still in the news. SMDH

McCabe is a patriot & was trying to protect our country. Graham is the Nunes of the Senate.

😂😂😂

A coup would require illegal action not legally discussing constitutional action

I agree... I don’t know which to b more surprised by...that the fbi seriously considered overthrowing the presidency or that mccabe is still so arrogant and smug that he admits it on tv like it was acceptable

LindseyGrahamSC should be investigated he’s Russia’s asset.

Haven’t we recently heard the Senator himself might have a pretty significant problem of Russian money in his campaign coffers?

Conflict of interest. LindseyGrahamSC appears compromised.

Comey was gored for seeing too much. McCabe was next in line and saw the same problems about 2016 and prior. Hmm, 2 Americans that have served honorably for our country or a President that when called upon had bone spurs. Who seems to be more credible? McCain must be rolling over

All for investigations to look into any and all accusations. Just really don't want to see witness questioning as from what I can tell, it is a lot more of political agenda and a lot less search of the truth.

More proof of the deep state that has been trying to undo everything Trump is fixing. These azzholes are traitors of America and are part of the new world order. Most idiot leftists on here have no clue what is going on.

Lol Graham using that Fox news BS talking Points but not refuting what was said by McCabe because it was true.These Republican Clowns are all in with this lying President.

LindseyGrahamSC hears all the shit the dude in the White House pulled and he wants an investigation into those questioning the dude’s fitness to serve? That’s seriously f**d up.

The GOP needs to be investigated as to why they’re all throwing themselves on their swords protecting Trump.

😂😂😂😂😂 Oh this poor drama queen! LindseyGrahamSC is as bat shit crazy as realDonaldTrump 😂😂😂

All that’s missing is his I Do Declare

Yeah.... Good luck with that. Tell you what, you can investigate it with just as much success as you allowed the democrats to investigate Trump over the past 2 years. Shoes on the other foot now. 😂

Unicorn hunting returns to the Senate.

Ozetty Good!

You mean he is going to investigate Trump for attempting to steal the 'power of the purse' from the legislative branch of government? The US Constitution, as part of its separation of powers (checks and balances) gave the power over finances to congress, not to POTUS.

We can't trust Graham. He goes where the best wind blows

well noted usa today

He should investigate his own perpetual need to violate his oath to the Constitution.

WITCH HUNT

Good grief

Well, if the coup fits

A waste of the taxpayer's and constituent' time and money! Vote him out, he does nothing!

I can picture him with an Inspector Clousseau cap and a magnifying glass, lurking around the men's showers

Liquidity of stocks is part of their intrinsic value. Reduce liquidity: reduce value. Taxing dividends is essentially double taxation of income previously taxed.
