I wonder what Trump has on Lindsey?
I mean it all started after a golf outing I believe. Even after the insurrection Lindsey gave a passionate speech about how he was done with Trump and then he wasn't. I don't even read the police reports in my small town's newspaper, it's not my business to see who was arrested for this and that. I admit that I would like to know the dirt on Lindsey.

1. He might very well have nothing, but lied and told him that he did.
OR, it could also very well be something extremely damaging. Who knows with trump*. He lies as easily as most of us breathe.

Lindsey Graham Says Campaign Account Hacked by Russia
December 14, 2016, 8:15 PM • 2 min read South Carolina senator and former Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham said Wednesday that Russian hackers accessed his campaign email account.
“Our campaign vendor that we used was hacked,” Graham told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview. “We were told by the FBI in August that we were hacked in June.” Graham’s campaign vendor adds to the growing list of high-profile political entities that intelligence officials believe were accessed by Russian hackers during the 2016 presidential campaign. Among those hacked were the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, former chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Graham said he believes some content from his account was leaked but he personally doesn’t use or send emails. “I think some of it was actually released but I've never sent an e-mail,” Graham said. “And I'm not about to start now.” Graham stressed the hacking of his campaign vendor’s account is another attempt from the Russian government to undermine the U.S. democratic process. |

11. He's never sent an email??
Why do I find that hard to believe in 2021?
What does he do, send telegrams? (Tele-Grahams haha..... I’ll be here all week). ![]() |

5. Graham's behavior could be due to a lot of things.
It could be that Trump is making Graham think he has something on him, it could be a primary threat, or it could be something very, very bad. I doubt we will ever know. But what we do know is that Lindsey Graham has never been his own man. For years he was tethered to John McCain, nothing more than a sidekick. After McCain's death he floundered. Something strange happened with Trump. Either he really is threatened in some way or he just needed someone new to hang on to.

6. Probably nothing. Lindsey is a persona leach
Lindsey is a personality doppelganger. He has no personality of his own, so he siphons one off whomever he thinks is strongest around him. For years that was John McCain. Whatever McCain did or said, Lindsey was there cloning that and being a yes man. Then McCain died. Lindsey's only real choice of a replacement persona to leach was Trump. Nobody in the Senate comes close to the kind of noise Trump makes, so Lindsey attached himself like a barnacle to SS Trump.

10. A barnacle?
Considering where Lindsey spends most of his time I was thinking more like a tapeworm....

9. The evidence of a shift in Graham is there.
One day Graham is saying that Trump is a bigot and can go to hell, and then the next day he is singing his praises. Something went down.
We here at DU love to speculate on this topic! |

12. I think Trump has evidence that Graham can't win an election
without Trump's Smelly Boys, and Q-tips. Nothing more than that. That without Trump, Lindsey would be retired.

13. I think it has to do with Lindsey's psychology and how he relates to powerful individuals,
rather than anyone having anything on him. I think he's "happy" where he is, even if it's sometimes trying. I don't think anything shocking will come out about him.

15. It could also be for money.
He may simply be getting money for it.
