Lindsey Graham Admits That GOP's Biden Informant Is Probably Lying

During an interview with Newsmax this past week, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was forced to admit that he doesn't know if any of the information that Republicans are using to attack President Biden is true, and that the informant could be lying. This is a pretty remarkable statement, as Republicans are betting everything on what informants and whistleblowers tell them - and so far every single piece of it has been complete garbage. Farron Cousins explains why Lindsey Graham is wanting Republicans to lower their expectations.

So things haven't been going well for the Republican party over the last couple weeks. But, uh, you know, they're still keeping an optimistic outlook on their possibilities of bringing the Biden crime family, as they call it, to justice. But unfortunately, more and more of them, even the ones who have been shouting the loudest about Biden being a criminal, even they're starting to lose faith in their own talking points. This past week, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham went on Fox News to talk about the fact that that whistleblower, right, the FBI informant who allegedly filled out that form and said, I've got the Biden family taking payments from all these countries to influence policies. I've got 17 tapes of Biden doing this, so let's go Republicans. Even though, by the way, that information was actually given to the FBI years and years ago, while Trump was still president at Bill Barr, the Attorney General Trump, they looked at it and like, eh, there's nothing here.

We'll give it to the US attorney. See if they wanna look at it. US attorney, by the way, also a Trump appointee looked at it and was like, this is not like there's nothing here. But anyway, Republicans recently learned about it, and they've been hyping it up along with all their other so-called whistleblowers and informants who have all completely fallen flat on their face within just the last week. But as I said, Lindsey Graham went on Fox News to try to try to lower expectations for the Republican party and the Republican voters about whether or not Biden's gonna be indicted or impeached or anything, because Lindsey Graham openly admitted that there's a good chance this FBI informant was probably just lying to begin with. Here's that exchange. He was asked by host Sandra Smith quote, um, quite clearly what you're telling us is we learned from this form thousand 23.

It did contain information about the president himself. And Lindsey Graham said, I don't know if it's true or not, but, but I, I know the FBI was informed by somebody on their payroll, a confidential informant that they hired. They had reason to believe that a Bur Barisma official was talking about recordings with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden about business deals in Ukraine as an insurance policy. Um, but as he said to begin with, I don't know if it's true or not, I don't know what, what do you, what do you mean you don't know? Your party's been hyping this for a month now? Like, we got him, we got the smoking gun here with this FBI informant in this 1 0 23 document. We got him. Now, Lindsey Graham's like, I don't know. I don't know if it's real, whatever, thanks for bringing me on, but he's not the only one. You had Republican Senator Tru, uh, Chuck Grassley, who recently said, quote, I don't even know where they are now. Maybe they don't exist. talking about these 17 tapes that Republicans also hyped up, but now they're like, ah, those probably don't exist either. Then

You had James Comer, the House Intelligence Committee who told newsmax, uh, we don't know if they're legit or not, but we know that the foreign national claims he has them. Oh, well, there you go. He claims he has them, claimed he had 'em years ago, and even Bill Barr and Donald Trump were like, yeah, this is, this is garbage. But no, it's totally real now, right? Just as real as your other IRS whistleblower that was supposed to, uh, you know, take down Hunter Biden. But it turns out that the Trump appointed prosecutor came out this past week and totally debunked everything that so-called whistleblower had to say. But you still got that other, you know, whistleblower, the other, uh, witness to Hunter Biden's corruption, except, you know, they were actually just indicted for violating multiple different international laws, not just in the United States. They were also indicted overseas and Cyprus, and then they skipped bail and they were on the run.
