Pussy decries whistleblower....

Lindsey Graham decries whistleblower complaint as 'all hearsay'

By SARAH CAMMARATA

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday repeatedly dismissed the whistleblower’s complaint against President Donald Trump as “all hearsay.”

“This seems to me like a political setup. It's all hearsay. You can't get a parking ticket conviction based on hearsay. The whistleblower didn't hear the phone call,” the South Carolina Republican said on CBS' “Face the Nation,” adding he has “zero problems” with the president's phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Graham pushed back against host Margaret Brennan’s assertion t hat the whistleblower complaint largely matches the White House summary of the call. The evidence laid out in the complaint, she added, is based on information gathered from numerous White House officials.

“This whole thing is a sham . … Who is this whistleblower? What bias do they have? Why did they pick this whistleblower to tell a hearsay story? The transcript does not match the complaint,” Graham said. “This thing stinks.”

Wrapping up the interview, Brennan asked what advice Graham gave the president when they golfed Saturday.

“Keep fighting back. We have your back on this," Graham replied. "I am openly telling everybody in the country, I have the president's back because I think this is a setup.”
