Lindsey Graham Torched Trump During Grand Jury Testimony

Lindsey Graham might not be welcomed into Donald Trump's inner circle for much longer, as a new book claims that the Republican Senator threw Trump under the bus during his testimony to the Georgia grand jury. Graham had tried desperately to avoid testifying, but once he was ordered to do so, he didn't hold back and gave up all the goods on Trump, including how he liked to cheat at golf. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

According to a new book, Lindsey Graham, when he finally was forced to go and testify in front of the grand jury in the state of Georgia, he spilled his guts. He absolutely threw Donald Trump under the bus when he was finally forced to talk to that grand jury. Now, the new book, uh, by Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman in is Find Me the Votes, A Hard Charging Georgia prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American election. So, title's a bit of a mouthful, but that's the new book. And they say that Lindsey Graham, even though he fought that subpoena for four months, took it to court, tried to argue that he was protected under the speech or debate clause. Therefore, you cannot compel my testimony. The courts didn't buy it, especially because Lindsey Graham is actually not the senator from Georgia. So, you know, it really was none of your business, but courts didn't buy it.

Lindsey Graham was forced to testify, and once they got him behind closed doors, he sang like a bird. And according to the book, well, I'll get to that part in a moment. One of the things we'll start with this, that Lindsey Graham said is that, uh, if you told Trump Martians came and stole the election, he'd probably believe you. So that doesn't bode well for Donald Trump actually genuinely thinking there was evidence of voter fraud in Georgia. That's definitely a statement that's going to be used against him. And Lindsey Graham had no problem telling him that. And for some reason, Lindsey Graham also explained to the gr uh, grand jury how Trump cheats at golf. Um, okay, I'm, I'm not exactly sure how that t ties into the investigation that happened. I, I'm, I'm not sure that that's related to really any of the criminal charges against him.

I'd have to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure Donald Trump wasn't criminally charged with cheating at golf. Um, so, you know, interesting factoid, I guess, but definitely not a prosecutable offense. But as I said, Lindsey Graham felt that the whole situation was so cathartic that this is what the authors wrote after Graham had testified, quote, he bumped into Fannie Willis in a hallway and thanked her for the opportunity to tell his story that was so cathartic. He told Willis, I feel so much better. Then to the astonishment of one source who witnessed the scene. South Carolina's senior senator hugged the Fulton County da, who was aggressively pursuing Trump Willis' reaction. She was like, whatever, dude. So Lindsey Graham, who just had bottled up all of his poor little emotions and all of his evidence on Donald Trump, and he wanted to tell somebody, but he didn't think he had anybody to talk to. And finally Fannie Willis gave him a shoulder to cry on, and he hugged her and she was like, all right. I mean,

Thanks, but could you, could you not? So could Lindsey Graham be the individual that results in Donald Trump getting convicted in the state of Georgia? If the authors are to be, uh, to be believed, then yeah, he could be. And for the record, this may also explain why Lindsey Graham was not one of the people charged. You see, Lindsey Graham was subpoenaed, as I've mentioned, to come and testify in front of the grand jury.
