Senator Lindsey Graham threw more cold-water on the Democrats’ latest Ukrainian impeachment fantasy Thursday; saying he’s “over with this, this whole thing is a joke.”
“I’m really over with this. This whole thing is a joke. I’m not persuaded by the argument… Nothing happened here. We’re not going to impeach this President over this. It’s over, it’s done with,” Graham told reporters at the US Capitol

Graham spoke with Sean Hannity Wednesday night on the Democrats’ disastrous televised impeachment hearings; saying any trial in the US Senate “cannot be based on hearsay.”
“The trial is in the Senate. Let’s say they get 218 votes, here’s what I promise the country: We’re not going to try the President of the United States based on hearsay. Any resolution setting up a trial in the Senate, I’m going to make sure that hearsay cannot be the basis of an impeachment allegation,” said Graham.
“A trial in the Senate should not legitimize what’s going on in the House. No American is denied the right to call witnesses on their behalf instead of Donald Trump,” he added.

GRAHAM ON FIRE: ‘The Salem Witch Trials Had More Due Process’ Than Ukraine Accusations
Sen. Lindsey Graham slammed the Democrats’ latest push to impeach President Trump over the weekend; saying the Salem Witch Trials had more “due process” than the recent Ukraine controversy.
“The whistleblower said, ‘I have no direct knowledge. White House officials told me this. They told me about a phone call.’ There’s a disconnect. Who are these people and what are they up to? The Salem Witch Trials had more due process than this,” said Graham.

In the eyes of Democrats and the media, @realDonaldTrump has been guilty since Nov. 9, 2016. His crime? Winning the election
They've been trying to undo that ever since. Total witch hunt! pic.twitter.com/Qp9VW2oD4d

Graham’s comments echo similar statements he made last week, demanding the identity of those who leaked internal White House conversations to the whistleblower.
“It is imperative we find out which White House official talked to the whistleblower and why. Why didn’t they lodge the complaint?” asked Graham on social media.
“As to the other matters in complaint: Clearly a coordinated effort to take second-hand information to create a narrative damaging to the President. When I think of whistleblower complaints I generally think of someone with first-hand knowledge of the events in question,” he added.

As to the House of Representatives:
If you believe this complaint has put the public in grave danger, don’t you have an obligation to vote to launch an impeachment inquiry?
Americans deserve to see where you stand and evaluate your judgement.

GRAHAM ON HANNITY: Every American Has the Right to Confront Their Accuser, Including the President
Senator Lindsey Graham unloaded on the Democrats’ sham impeachment process on ‘Hannity’ Tuesday night; saying every single American has the right to confront their accuser in court: including the President.
“There is no civil or criminal proceedings in America that denies a person to tell their side of the story by calling witnesses. Every American deserves the right to confront their accuser, that’s not being done in this case,” said Graham.
“The allegation is that Donald Trump withheld aid to the Ukraine unless they investigated Joe and Hunter Biden for corruption. The problem with that allegation is that it’s not true. The aid was delivered to the Ukraine and there was no investigation into the Bidens,” he added.
