Looks like Lindsey Graham is vying for the AG position actively. He has called for Sessions firing. Graham stabbed his friend MacCain is the back when he became pally with Agolf Twitler and now he has stabbed Sessions in the back too. Voters beware; a person who is a traitor to his long time friends is not going to be faithful to you!

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's relationship with Jeff Sessions is "beyond repair" and suggested that the attorney general be replaced.

"The President has lost confidence in Jeff Sessions. I'm telling you what everybody in the country knows, this is a dysfunctional relationship, we need a better one," the South Carolina Republican said in an interview on NBC News' "Today" show.

Graham defended Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the Justice Department's investigation into Russian election interference due to his involvement with the Trump campaign.

"But we need an attorney general that can work with the President, that can lead the Department of Justice. This relationship is beyond repair, I think," Graham said. "I'm not asking him to be fired, but the relationship is not working."

The South Carolina Republican appeared to suggest that there's another reason Trump has been criticizing Sessions other than not ending Mueller's investigation.
"It's much deeper than that," Graham told NBC News.

"We won't say on this show, but it's a pretty deep breach," he said, without elaborating.

Fire Sessions. Back to Bamy. Good riddance. Begone.

I think they know something about Sessions that makes it untenable for him to remain as AG.

He should be fired with all the leaders of trashy GOP, including Trump!

The Graham-USA relationship is beyond repair. Time for Graham to go.

Whatever kompromat Trump threatened Lindsay with during that golf outing must be pretty damning.

+1 Why he's suddenly becoming a major Trump supporter after being a "Never Trumper" is beyond me.

I wonder if Sessions has done something that resulted in confirming the Steele allegations. Graham seems to be indicating that Session has done something that would be unforgivable to the Trump/GOP team. What could that be? It's more than the recusal.

John McCain would be disgusted at what Lindsey Graham is doing.

When Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) died, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) lost one of his dear friends and his political and moral compass. For months as McCain’s health declined, Graham sank further into the quicksand of conspiracy theories (e.g. making a criminal referral regarding dossier author Christopher Steele) and cringeworthy obsequiousness to President Trump. Whether it was congratulating Trump for beating him at golf or giving cover for Trump’s attacks on the FBI, Graham, many surmised, was seeking a Cabinet post. Perhaps, or perhaps he has simply been adrift without the Arizona senator.

Graham reached a new low last week, when he supported the idea of canning Attorney General Jeff Sessions: “The president’s entitled to an attorney general he has faith in … I think there will come a time sooner rather than later where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice.” That was a far cry from his declaration in July 2017 that there would be “holy hell to pay” if Trump fired Sessions to get a stranglehold on the Russia investigation.

On Tuesday, Graham sounded defensive. “You have to replace him with somebody who is highly qualified and will commit to the Senate to allow [special counsel Robert S. Mueller III] to do his job,” Graham said. “Nobody is going to take Jeff’s place that doesn’t commit to the Senate and the country as a whole that Mueller will be allowed to finish his job without political interference.” But what if the person later changes his mind? What if he aims to restrict Mueller so that he cannot do his job? Surely Graham must understand that anyone Trump would pick for the AG spot couldn’t be trusted to support the Russia investigation.

Even worse, Graham spouted the Trump team’s talking point that only collusion matters. “At the end of the day, if there is collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, that will be it for me,” Graham said. “Anything else will be just noise.” Obstruction of justice, witness tampering, defrauding the voters and/or any financial crimes will simply be noise for Graham, I fear.

For a former Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps officer in the U.S. Air Force, this is a sorry display of constitutional ignorance. “High crimes & Misdemeanors,” as we learned in Watergate, includes things such as obstruction of justice. Indeed, in 1999, Graham lectured his fellow lawmakers in the Clinton impeachment matter. “You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job (as president) in this constitutional republic if this body determines your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role because impeachment is not about punishment,” he said. “Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”

Maybe Sessions answered honestly when Trump asked him if he were in jeopardy.

If he is cooperating with Mueller, that would certainly be unforgivable for the Trump & Co.

+2 Just own up to it, dude. It’s no less true while he blackmails you for it, but now you’re supporting treason.

I cannot believe politicians buckling to Kompromat based blackmail - what information can be more damaging than mental burden of treason!

Graham's emails were hacked by the Russians. Whatever was in them, they are being held over his head.
