Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) let a rare jab against President Donald Trump fly during his opening remarks at Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee, saying that it was not a “400-pound man on a bed somewhere, it was the Russians.”
“They did it,” he said of 2016 election hacking. “And they’re still doing it.”
Trump said during a September 2016 debate with Hillary Clinton that “it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay?”

Oops.
Linz wasn’t supposed to tell the truth. Primary challenge on the way.
Well, fine.
But that’ll barely be a fig leaf to justify the red herring of “Let’s investigate the investigators.” That in no way mitigates Barr’s misrepresenting, then lying to Congress about, the contents of the Mueller report and Mueller’s opinion about Barr’s thinking, respectively.
Dasvidaniya, comrades!
that 400 lb man is actually serving in another capacity … as attorney general.
Lindsey is going to owe Trump a burned steak and an effusive compliment on his hand size for that remark.
