    Graham says House Democrats “weaponizing” impeachment: “This whole thing is a crock” – By Emily Tillett (CBS News) / Dec 14 2019

    Staunch Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham is slamming Democrats for “shutting the president out” of the House impeachment process, claiming members of Congress are “weaponizing impeachment” for future presidents to come.

    “I have nothing but disdain for this,” Graham told CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” claiming the quick timeline of the House probe was “bad for the presidency.”

    “I think this whole thing is a crock,” he said. “You’re shutting the president out. The process in the House, any partisan group could do this in the future. You’re weaponizing impeachment. And I want to end it. I don’t want to legitimize it. I hate what they’re doing.”
