Trump tells LindseyGraham to haul in Obama to testify a/b a 'political crime' that no one can define

Lindsey will hold off for a while but he will be licking Trumps boots soon on this. I have no doubt about that.

President Donald Trump called on Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to have former President Barack Obama testify about "the biggest political crime and scandal" in US history.

Trump was presumably referring to "Obamagate," a conspiracy theory that accuses Obama administration officials of masterminding the Russia investigation and targeting Trump officials in politically motivated reasons.

"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. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!"

Graham later told Politico he would not call Obama in to testify.

"I don't think now's the time for me to do that. I don't know if that's even possible," Graham said, adding, "I understand President Trump's frustration, but be careful what you wish for.".........................................

The GOP will be singing a different tune when President Biden asks Senate Majority Leader Schumer to call ex-president Trump to testify before a Senate committee looking into his corrupt activities.
