As he opened a hearing with Attorney General William Barr about the attorney general’s handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) admitted that he hadn’t read the full Mueller report yet.

“Here is the good news. Here is the Mueller report,” Graham said during his opening statement. “You can read it for yourself. It’s about 400 and something pages. Can’t say I’ve read it all, but I’ve read most of it. There’s an unredacted version over in the classified section of the Senate, a room where you can go look at the unredacted version. I did that and found it not to change anything in terms of an outcome.”

  1. As I believe Lindsey has said before, he doesn’t care what the report actually says or what the evidence is.

    He only cares about misrepresenting and covering up and protecting Trump and anyone who is or may be associated with crimes and kompromat.

    Except Hillary and certain former members of the FBI, DOJ, and Obama administration.

  2. And the horse you rode in on Lindsey. Your poutrage at boofing Bart’s hearing showed everything anyone needed to know about you

  3. Why should Graham bother reading it? It wouldn’t influence his advocacy for Trump Crime.

  4. Since Tump proved that he can be president without knowing what a president should do, Lindsey Graham also didn’t need to know the subject of the hearing he chaired.
    The Trump virus is so infectious.

  5. “I didn’t read the whole thing, but the unredacted parts don’t change anything.”

    Ummmmm, okay, show us the unredacted stuff and we’ll decide for ourselves. We got that “trust me” shit already from Barr, and guess what — it most certainly did look different after we read the report ourselves.

    Wonder how long we put up with this kabuki until someone gets fed up and leaks the damned unredacted version?
