Watters Presses Lindsey Graham if Obama Was ‘Treasonous’ with Regard to ‘Russiagate,’ He Replies ‘I Think it Sucks’

WATTERS: “So if you’re paying a foreign national to collude with a Russian national, and then use that fake intelligence to illegally spy on a presidential campaign, and then manipulate intelligence to accuse this incoming president of being a Russian asset, sabotage his campaign, corrupt the peaceful transition of power, is that treasonous?”
Graham: “I think that’s factual. And, you know, whether not that’s treasonous will be up to a court of law. I — “
WATTERS: “Do you think that’s treasonous, Senator Graham?”
Graham: “I think — I think it sucks.”
WATTERS: “(Laughs) Yeah.”
Graham: “I think they’ve manipulated the whole Russian storyline to beat Trump. I think that Christopher Steele used a product that was known to the FBI to be untrustworthy, and they kept using it all the time. The Horowitz investigation, the I.G. who I had look at the Mueller investigation, said they ran every stop sign on the road. Now, why did they do that? They were out to get Trump. They were out to try to keep him from winning, and once he won, they were trying to tear the guy down based on a bunch of B.S.. We’re not gonna quit looking at it. We should look at it. And this new information is very important, because now we know that before Trump got sworn in, Obama didn’t like the storyline that was being reported to him, ‘There’s no Russian effort, credible effort to change the election.’ He said, ‘Look at that again,’ and all of a sudden the storyline changes. I want to find out how that happened and why that happened. And Mike Johnson’s right, we’re gonna keep looking. We’re not — to Republicans, don’t be deterred here. Keep looking.”
WATTERS: “Do you believe there should be a special counsel appointed to look into Obamagate?”
Graham: “I believe we’re getting close, and let me tell you why. Jeff Sessions recused himself because of his ties to the campaign. He appointed Mueller and the rest is history. That investigation was rotten to its core. The FBI — you had a lawyer for the FBI get charged with the crime of manipulating evidence to the court to get a warrant. Now, how did all that happen? I think the predicate for that was laid before the Mueller investigation began. All these nefarious characters that helped with the Mueller investigation were the same people Obama was talking to before Trump came into office. Yeah, I think this is something we may wind up having to do, because there is some there there. These new documents really are important and, to me, stunning.”
WATTERS: “Now, if you show these documents to a D.C. grand jury — and we know all about D.C. grand juries — what do you think the chances are of an indictment coming for Brennan, Comey, Barack Obama, or any of these guys?”
Graham: “Probably like me being in the NBA.
(Laughter)
But the point is, it’s not what the grand jury will do, it’s should you pursue it.”
WATTERS: “Right.”
Graham: “And so here’s what I would say. Yes, please do pursue it, because the documents that Gabbard released show that President Trump — excuse me, Obama basically ordered his people to go look again and get a different result. And this begins to explain how crooked the Mueller investigation was, because the same people that he was talking to to do another intelligence assessment are the same people that cooked up the warrant stuff, you know, the Clinton campaign. So, yeah, we need to look at this. This is a big deal.”
WATTERS: “It’s a nasty web. I hope you stay on it. And Senator Lindsay Graham, you should never play for the NBA or the WNBA or any high school basketball team. Good to see you.”
Graham: “Yes. Thank you.”
Thank, like Hollywood, raises a hug
