who won explains lindsey graham? his weakness and falling over donald trump is something we had never seen in a senator before donald trump invaded the republican party. whatever explains lindsey graham we may never know. perhaps we will learn more about him six months after his death as we did with strom thurman. maybe in a peculiar south carolina republican senate tradition, lindsey graham has a secret. and the person lindsey graham knows who loves secrets the most is donald trump. we know now know that donald trump has been happily riding around golf carts in florida knowing that in the basement he had a government document identified in the fbi inventory of the fbi search but said infiltrate, president of france. donald trump showed lindsey graham what he is capable of in the 2016 presidential campaign when lindsey graham was still campaigning against donald trump and accurately criticizing donald trump. and then this happened. >> he gave me his number and i found the card. i wrote the number down. i don't know i

lindsey graham is lying. lindsey graham is lying about a false equivalence between hillary clinton's handling of classified information while she was in office as secretary of state and donald trump's handling of classified information and other government records after he left office and took those records with him as a private citizen. but lindsey graham is also lying about trump supporters and he is insulting them. if donald trump is indicted, 74 million trump supporters will do exactly what they did when donald trump lost the election. nothing. the hundreds of them who might be inclined to write in the streets are spread out throughout the 50 states and it is possible that most of them will have already been convicted of rioting for donald trump at the capitol of january six, and the ringleaders of that riot at the capitol are all in prison. there will not be rioting in the streets in this country of 330 million people of donald trump is charged with a crime. not 1 million people have ever publicly gather

you mentioned lindsey graham. he tried a little bit yesterday to clarify those remarks from sunday, when he predicted there would be riots if trump were to be prosecuted for mishandling those documents. here's a reminder of what senator graham said, followed by the way he tried to temper them a bit yesterday. >> most republicans, including me, believes when it comes to trump, there is no law. it's all about getting him. if they try to prosecute president trump for mishandling classified information after hillary clinton set up a server in her basement, they literally will have riots in the street. i worry about our country. if there is a prosecution against president trump based on mishandling classified information after what happened with hillary clinton, there will be frustration, and i fear violence. i reject violence. i'm not calling for violence. violence is not the answer. >> too late, right? it's out in the atmosphere. he's already said it. and he's not alone, joe. >> yeah. >> again, is lindsey graham or o

lindsey? >> lisa, what kind of questions do you think trump is being asked i this deposition and ken laid a lot of it out for us. i want your take how the fifth amendment applies here. >> ken is exactly right. there is no impact of taking the fifth amendment in terms of civil liability other than the jury can draw an adverse inference of anyone that takes the fifth amendment and the criminal investigation by the new york district attorney is still open. now, we know that two prosecutors in that office resigned earlier this year because they felt that the district attorney did not have the political will to pursue the investigation further against donald trump. but it's never been closed out and the risks to the president remain open. the attorney general's office has the ability to share the former president's testimony with that office or with others in making a criminal referral. the risk to him was substantial from today's testimony and lindsey, to answer your other questions, in terms of w

what does lindsey say? what is lindsey's response?ts in the street. >> no one would get away with taking these kind of documents. what is more disturbing to me is what you raise, and that is, it seems that senator graham is not concerned about the intelligence being confidential, that protects american lives. he is predicting violence rather than looking at the violence that could occur if those documents got into the wrong hands and was against the interest of america. so senator graham, what is your priority? protecting american interests, protecting our intelligence, or having some thugs and hoodlums get angry because someone that was careless or criminal or both may have put us in jeopardy? i fail to see where the senator's concerns are. you're absolutely right, it is a double standard. even beyond that, didn't people in south carolina send him to washington to protect their interests rather than say, wait a minute now, if you protect our interest, people will get mad and burn the streets down. i mean, i don't think that's what yo

lindsey? >> wow. chuck, yesterday in this hour when we talk to andrew wiseman, he said, if we see anything, it would likely be so redacted we wouldn't be able to glean much from it. do you think we'll end up seeing a good chunk of the affidavit? >> yes, eventually, but not soon. you know, think about it this way, lindsey. if there are threats against the judge that signed the warrant, it's going to be hard for media outlets to argue that everything should be unsealed and released today. and to counter the government's argument that witnesses would really be at risk. if the judge is at risk, it must dawn on him that witnesses would be at risk, too. both sides are making exactly the arguments that you would expect. my guess, somewhat informed, i hope, is that the government prevails here and keeps the affidavit either entirely sealed or mostly sealed, as andrew described, meaning heavily redacted if it's released in part. that's because they have a law enforcement purpose to do so. they have an ongoing

south carolina senator lindsey graham.ressured by trump on that infamous call, senator graham made a very similar call. graham asked whether raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of non matching signatures. raffensperger said he was stunned that graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to toss legally cast ballots. it sure looked like he was wanting to go down that road, raffensperger said. now, lindsey graham claims he was just calling to ask some questions, to do his, you know, due diligence. and he has been trying to get out of testifying about that call for months now. today, a federal judge in georgia rolled that senator graham couldn't do that. he was subpoenaed, and he has to testify. a date is now set. lindsey graham is supposed to testify next tuesday. but tonight, we got the news that graham has asked for an even higher federal court for a state in his case, basically delaying, again. senator lindsey graham really does not want to talk about his due dilig

so, no, this is not a blanket immunity for lindsey graham. and he's lost this argument over and over so far in the courts. and i think he's going to continue to lose. on the delay thing, i think we have to -- i can't help but remind us of the other thing that's happening, which is the january 6th committee. that does have a deadline, right? we're just a few weeks away from the midterms. and if the house of representatives goes to the gop, that -- that effort will stop. and, so, delays have worked for those witnesses. but that's not the way the judicial system works. and it does go a bit slowly because there are rules of process, evidentiary rules, appeals, legal principals that are adhered to. and i think that's a good thing. and i think, you know, it can hold out for lindsey graham. >> again, the january 6th committee legislative functions. and there is a court of law, right, had a longer limitations on the very notion. let me bring you back in here, dave, because we're talking about what's going on here in georgia because obviously senator

about the evidence she has about but lindsey graham did?help that -- when he sees is going on, but i think the more important thing is these are state cases. no one can hope that a republican president is going to come into office and pardon somebody. if he is convicted, that's going to stick, and it's gonna stick for good. he he could try to cooperate. the other thing that the manhattan district attorney's office can do is if he doesn't cooperate voluntarily after the trial, they can just immunize him and put him in a grandeur in for some to testify, and then if he lies then, he will face additional time. so they have a lot of tools up their sleeve and they don't have to worry about the 2024 presidential election, and weisselberg doesn't have a possible out. so they're sort of things to come there. i wouldn't count the manhattan district attorney's office investigation just yet. and fulton is fascinating. lindsey graham, tense your question, is making any and all arguments. to me, it wreaks when we are seeing the former president, do which

i'm lindsey reiser. right now the republican party and donald trump's allies feeling the full impact of being in the former president's orbit. as we speak, in a georgia courthouse, his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, is testifying before a grand jury. giuliani's attorney tells nbc news that is a target to alter the outcome of the 2020 election in that state. we're also learning from "the new york times" that according to three people familiar, trump's white house counsel pat cipollone and deputy patrick philbin were both interviewed by the fbi about sensitive documents stored at mar-a-lago. this as the fallout from the fbi's mar-a-lago search becomes a -- comes to a critical juncture tomorrow. a judge will hear arguments about whether to release the affidavit behind the search, something donald trump wants and the doj opposes. even now, as donald trump's legal troubles mount, his grip on the republican party is tightening. and he just purged one of his high-profile critics. republican liz cheney lost h
