Lindsey Graham dishes on Trump in hoax calls with Russians

SCOOP: Lindsey Graham was pranked by the same Russians who got to Adam Schiff. In a call with the "Turkish defense minister," he called the Kurdish YPG a "threat" and said Trump "wants to be helpful, within the limits of his power" in the Reza Zarrab case. https://t.co/k7479NIkCC

Molly McKew suggests:

Alternatively, this is not at all a prank and instead kompromat.

Which is why they waited to release it until now. https://t.co/Gup7Zda9g5

Edit to add: same suggestion from former director of U.S. Office of Gov. Ethics:

Wonder if this audio was released now as a warning to Lindsey Graham. Wonder what else they have on him.

noted with interest that one of the things discussed makes it clear that Graham knew about the Iranian-Turkish gold trader client of Giuliani, the one where Tillerson refused to try to help in the matter in 2017, and is now facing DOJ charges as .revealed by Bloomberg.

Graham is the one to track in all of this.
Not so much canary in the coal mine but the one who will be in the front of efforts to Agnew the separation of pain.
