Graham Blasts “Crap” Impeachment: You’ve Launched “A Wholesale Assault On The Presidency” Because You Hate The President

In 78 days, you took due process as we’ve come to know it in America and threw it in the garbage can. This is the first impeachment in the history of the country driven by politicians. The Nixon impeachment had outside counsel, watergate prosecutors. And the Clinton impeachment had Ken Starr. The Mueller investigation went on for two years. I trusted Bob Mueller. And when he rendered his verdict, it broke your heart and you can’t let it go. The only way this is going to end permanently is for the president to get reelected, and he will.

So as to abuse of Congress, is it a wholesale assault on the presidency, is it abandoning every sense of fairness that every American has come to expect in their own lives. It’s driven by blind partisanship and hatred of the man himself, and they wanted to do it in 78 days. Why? Because they wanted to impeach him before the election. I am not making this up. They said that.

The reason the president was never allowed to go to court and challenge the subpoenas issued is the House managers understood that would take time. President Nixon and President Clinton were allowed to go to Article III court and contest the House’s action. That was denied this president because it would get in the way of impeaching him before the election.
