A loyal Senator gives his Dear Leader a big wet kiss

Lindsay Graham today:
There’s two questions I think the public deserves an answer to. Did they short-circuit the Clinton e-mail investigation because they wanted her to win? They knew if they charged her she might lose. Did they start the Russian investigation against Trump as an insurance policy in case he did win?
Those are the two questions that I’ll try to get you answers to…
GRAHAM: We need a special counsel to look at the potential crimes by the Department of Justice — the FBI — regarding the Clinton e-mail investigation and the Russian investigation against Trump early on.
The point is the Congress, me, not going to the House, we’re going to call them all before the committee. Did they try to invoke the 25th Amendment to take the president down? Did they get a warrant against an American citizen (Carter Page) using information they know was flawed? Did they tank the Clinton e-mail investigation because they were afraid if they indicted her she would lose an election they wanted her to win? You’re going to get answers to that, the best I can give them to you.
I think we know that the average Republican is living in Bizarroworld. Graham is just offering up an alternative narrative in which the biggest scandal in the country remains Hillary Clinton and her emails. And the Trump cult is thrilled, none more than Trump who is convinced he can change reality by repeating lies over and over again.
And it seems he’s right.
