President Donald Trump urged U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham to stop being “Mr. Nice Guy” and get on with getting former President Obama to testify.
The president reacted in a tweet Thursday to the “biggest political crime and scandal” in the country, referring to the latest developments revealing efforts by Obama administration officials to “unmask” the name of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
“If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama,” Trump tweeted on Thursday. “He knew EVERYTHING.”
“Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it,” the president urged the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. “No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!”
Graham responded to the president’s tweet telling Politico’s Andrew Desiderio that it was not a move he likely be making at the moment.
“I don’t think now’s the time for me to do that,” Graham said. “I don’t know if that’s even possible. I understand President Trump’s frustration, but be careful what you wish for.”
Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified a list of Obama-era intelligence officials who were involved in “unmasking” Trump campaign associates like Flynn, just days after newly released documents revealed that the FBI had essentially set a perjury trap for Flynn who was accused of lying to agents in a January 2017 interview about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.
The Department of Justice announced it was dropping the case after the revelations but Washington, D.C. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan is refusing to dismiss the case.
Graham slammed the “unmasking” efforts during an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Thursday, vowing to “get to the bottom of it.”

Graham is part of the problem... A NEVER TRUMP CONVERT he is nothing more than a fickle politician... who shifts his allegiances as easily as he betrays his constituents. Of course, he wants to start at the bottom... As he never intends on seeing the leadership prosecuted.
If one wants to kill a snake one doesn't do it by cutting off its tail... One must cut off its head and even then one needs to be careful not to be bitten... snakes don't die easily.
Graham is not trustworthy
Like I said before, he bends whichever way the wind blows!
Term limits for Lindsay Graham ‼️‼️‼️
didn't Lindsey Graham was running for president 4 years a go?
Yes!
Jeff: Not that I can remember. He talks a good talk but that's all. He's all show and no blow. It's a shame he's such a phony.
I kind agree with you
interesting
They haven't got the guts to unseal the 180,000 sealed indictments. They are either scared to death, being paid off by the elite, or being blackmailed by the Pyramid of Power.
who are they you referring to?
The Justice Department and all those who have been doing the investigations of the many, many indictments....those whose job it is to prosecute the people which the indictments are about.
