.MaddowBlog: Sen. Graham has advice for Trump Jr. on undercutting congressional probe.
The Senate Intelligence Committee jolted the political world a bit last week, issuing a subpoena to Donald Trump Jr. It was not only the first known congressional subpoena of a member of the president’s immediate family, it was also a subpoena issued by a Republican-led panel.
“You just show up and plead the Fifth and it’s over with,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham told reporters Monday, adding that Trump Jr.’s lawyer would “have to be an idiot” to let him testify again. Graham also told Fox News that he believes the president’s son should simply ignore the subpoena. The South Carolina senator, up for re-election next year, justifies this posture by saying the broader investigation is “over” – a contention Democrats on the Judiciary Committee debunked just last week.
