If you don't go after Russia for hacking during 2016 election you're inviting other bad actors (China, N. Korea, Iran, etc.) to do the same.

1. Oh Lindsey, if only you weren't so bad on so many issues.

He's one of the few Republicans who's not bending the knee to Trump.

Of course, you have to be at least somewhat crazy to win statewide office in SC.

3. I seldom, if ever have agreed with Grahm but I will give credit where credit is due.

6. Loathe his politics, but even when hating him, he makes me laugh n/t

2. He may be worried Russia will get him defeated in 2020

since he hasn't supported Trump sufficiently. Perhaps Russian hackers will find or make up something damaging against him so a more pro-Putin right wing extremist can primary him

4. Or is he running a smokescreen for the Republicans who hacked the Democrats? Occam!!

From somewhere in Russia perhaps, or from Manhattan via a secret server connected to Russia.

5. I tend to think the less extraordinary explanation is the more likely, as Occam would apply

And the less extraordinary one in this case is

Lindsey Graham never did like Trump and all the way through the primaries, he wasn't shy about it either, so having this issue that puts a permanent asterisk next to DJT's name is fine by him, and he's happy to talk about it. If I had to guess, I say the "I told you so factor" is probably giving him tummy giggles.
