On Sunday, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made a statement on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there is currently no “smoking gun evidence” in regard to the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
This statement comes as part of an ongoing investigation into potential wrongdoings by President Biden and his administration with regard to foreign policy. The primary focus of this investigation has been whether or not the President used his office as leverage against Ukraine to gain politically advantageous information about Joe Biden.
Senator Graham has long been an outspoken critic of any suggestion of wrongdoing by the current president and his statements have reflected this opinion.
When asked about the impeachment inquiry, Senator Graham stated that he had not seen any concrete evidence pointing towards impeachable offenses committed by the president. While acknowledging that investigations were still ongoing, he argued that it was unlikely such evidence would come out given how little time remained before the 2024 election.
Partial transcript as follows:
KRISTEN WELKER: Okay. Let’s turn to the other big story on Capitol Hill: the impeachment of course – the impeachment inquiry – into President Biden. Your colleague, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, said that he does not see any evidence, quote, “That the president is guilty of anything.” Do you agree with him? Is there any evidence so far?
GRAHAM: You know, I haven’t really been paying that much attention to it. They have to prove that President Biden somehow financially benefited from the business enterprises of Hunter Biden. We’ll see.
WELKER: Have they done it yet, in your mind?
GRAHAM: If there were a smoking gun, I think we’d be talking about it. But, you know, the narrative that Hunter Biden presented is falling apart. The idea that Joe Biden knew nothing about the business dealings is falling apart. I’m not worried about impeaching the president right now. You know what I’m worried about? Helping the president bring the Mideast to a better spot, trying to convince the Arabs and the Israelis to not let Iran get you off track, give Israel the space to destroy Hamas. I’m trying to find a way forward to secure our broken border before we’re attacked. That’s what I’m more worried about than anything. I’ve never been more worried about an attack on our homeland than I am right now. And there’s an opportunity in the Mideast, in the middle of all this carnage, rape, murder, torture, heartbreaking visuals. There’s a chance to change things. That’s what I’m working on: changing things for the better at home and abroad.
ICYMI: NY Attorney General Letitia James Admits Her Guilt in Denying Trump Due Process
Lindsay Graham is a showcase example of why term limits is a good idea. He does a few ‘good’ things, but is mostly useless in fixing the real problems of the US. He recognizes them, but does not fix them. He recognizes Biden is compromised, but is strategically staying neutral . . . why? If he were my representative, he would NOT be representing my idea of a good representative. I would get someone to primary him. He is a very ‘politically’ smart guy. He knows how to get around this honest approach to changing the holder of his office. He bogs the primary process down and changes his actions to look more conservative, then as soon as the primary is over (and he has won), he’s back to merely being ‘better-than-the-alternative’ – which is basically useless to making things better. This is why republicans fail.
What a swamp!
There is a story about how things work in Washington that goes like this.
A fence at the White House needed repair. Three companies came to bid on the job. The companies from Texas and Tennessee carefully inspected the damage, made measurements, and gave their bid. The company from Texas could do the job for $900. The company from Tennessee $700. The company from Chicago whispered his bid to the White House representative, “$2,700.” The White House rep. said, “Why so much? You didn’t even inspect the fence or take measurements. The guy from Chicago whispered, “$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me, and we get the guy from Tennessee to do the repair.” Then the White House rep. said, “Done.”
The point is there is so much corruption in government they no longer even know what corruption is anymore.
The moment the guy from Chicago offered to bribe the White House rep., he was guilty of bribery. The moment the White House rep. agreed to the bribe, he was guilty of bribery. At that moment two instances of bribery had been committed, even though no money had been exchanged and the fence still hadn’t been fixed.
This is how the legal definition of bribery works. But corruption, including bribery has become so common that people like Linsey Graham don’t recognize it anymore.
Once again the Democrats have threatened to OUT Lindsay Graham if he does not support them against his fellow republikans.
100%Truth!
The USA and entire World go better with Trump! #trump2024!!!
I agree 1000%
I agree 1000, and NO I HAVEN’T SAID THIS BEFORE, SO POST MY COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This guy should have been out long ago. RINO garbage hawk, useless individual…
They do not have to prove anything Joe Biden in the Video Bragging about the Quid Pro Quo Wake your self Up Dummy then He and Hunter Got 5 Million$$ each a few days later too
Exactly!
See a RINO~~this I know~~another tinhorn who needs to go.
He is stupid . Joe Biden stole classified information when he was a Senator he had to steal it he had no authority to take it
Graham, take off the blinders and look at the facts. Then go to Comer and ask him to enlighten you!
Lindsay’s RINO status remains firmly intact.
Lindsey Graham would long ago been removed from the Senate if the Democrats in Charleston and Columbia were not allowed to vote in the Republican Primary in South Carolina. Graham is a disgrace to our state and the nation.
Graham is clearly a RINO and a liar. Anyone with half a brain heard Biden brag about getting the prosecutor fired to protect Hunter and Burisma. Graham should be impeached for ignorance.
Once again the Democrats have threatened to OUT Lindsay Graham if he does not support them against his fellow republikans.
Idiot….light in his loafers Graham, must be referring about the Paige bent over in the Senate!
Maybe we just found out who the page had bent over!!! Right Lindsay??!!
That would be
L. Grahamnesty (RINO)
Hasn’t anyone figured out the Grahamnisty is a democrat pretending to be a republican? He was all in with the Russia hoax against Trump, and now he doesn’t want his bribery and kickback scams to be found out, so he is all about protecting the swamp! investigate his crimes also!
This statement again shows the weakness of some major Republican Politicians. It took nothing for the Democrats to have TWO IMPEACHMENTS BY THE HOUSE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP, BUT THESE “PANSY” REPUBLICANS ARE TO SCARED OF THE DEMOCRAT/MARXIST/MEDIA GROUP TO SAY WHAT THEY “KNOW” IS TRUE. I am growing extremely sick of these Republican COWARDS and suggest that their constituents vote them OUT OF OFFICE.
How so true Robert.
They coax them in through the swamp door with money in hand, then once that’s done it’s all about lies, deceit, corruption, power, piss on the American Citizens, protection of criminal Communist Democrats committing Treasonous acts.
And welah; a Communist Rino is born.
GRAHAM IS TIED TO THE RINOS . . . .ONE AS BAD AS ANOTHER DEMO OR REPUB.
ALL HAVE SAME GOAL . . .LIVE OFF YOUR TAX DOLLARS LARGE.
how many decades has he been in office ? maybe its time him and his girlfriend pelosi be culled from the swamp and put out to pasture. Graham had his time and hes long since past it, just quietly go away
I can’t believe this bum keeps getting re-elected….
Graham and several other republican senators need to be gone.
It seems there is more than enough evidence!
wow i guess his whole face went up some one rear so he could nt see any thing there
Lindsay has over the years become friends first with the left, and now acts as a shield excusing and protecting his friends at the expense of conservative ideals.
BULL
Lindsey Graham is not in on the information There is a mass of evidence against Biden I really believe that Graham is dirty and he doesn’t want it to come out Graham is a Rino and he has done things with Biden and he doesn’t want it known So I think it’s time to investigate Graham
Lindsey needs to retire.
