Senator Lindsey Graham is a chameleon; he changes
colors and postures from day to day, administration to administration.
Senator Graham declared recently that if President
Donald Trump conditioned financial aid to the Ukraine upon receipt of
assistance to his campaign, that would be grounds for impeachment. Now that the
evidence establishes a “quid pro quo”, Sen. Graham no longer finds that exchange
offensive.
When Bill Clinton was president Sen. Graham
considered abuse of power an impeachable offense. Now that Donald Trump is the
abuser Sen. Graham no longer finds it a sufficient ground for impeachment. When
Special Counsel Kenneth Starr privately interviewed witnesses during his
investigation of Mr. Clinton, Sen. Graham
was not troubled. When a congressional committee now proceeds in the
same manner, in its inquiry concerning Donald Trump, Sen. Graham is outraged
and has moved to condemn the process as unconstitutional and a violation of Due
Process.
Senator Graham is either a man of many minds or a
pliable tool of the president. Neither condition befits a United States
senator.
