Lindsey Graham is too invested in the Iran outcome.

Do you remember how freaked out he was that the FBI or some other criminal justice agency was collecting phone texts of calls with foreign nations? It was obvious by this intense desire to find out what information was obtained that he had something to hide.

So, is this it? Does a foreign country have blackmail on him, like they did for Trump, and are they pulling his strings?

The American people do not want this to escalate. And Graham is a paid whore. Chances are that some foreign nation has him by the shorthairs. A nation, which could give him the votes he needs in the next election, even if it comes by devious means.

... he want to be in with the powers that be, like Louis said in Casablanca: the prevailing winds comes from Vichy.

Until we get into the streets in numbers like the dissidents do in Iran or Serbia, he'll hang with TACO.
