.MaddowBlog: Sen. Graham ignores Pres. Trump scandal, chooses instead to pursue Joe Biden.
Two months ago, Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters, “If you’re looking for a circumstance where the president of the United States was threatening the Ukraine with cutting off aid unless they investigated his political opponent, you’d be very disappointed. That does not exist.”
Again, it’s now overwhelmingly clear that Trump was actually engaging in a quid pro quo, outside the July 25 phone call between the American president and Ukrainian president Volodomyr Zelenskiy. The letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo comes as Republicans seek to train scrutiny on Biden’s actions in Ukraine amid impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump over his own efforts to pressure Ukraine’s government to investigate his would-be rival for the White House.
In case anyone’s forgotten, it’s worth emphasizing that Graham told reporters in late September that he had no intention of launching a Biden-related investigation through the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the weeks that followed, as the House impeachment inquiry proceeded, witnesses – including one called by Republicans to testify – made it explicitly clear that the conspiracy theories directed at Biden have no basis in reality.
