Is he taking the piss?
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC
It’s been 72 hours since I released 11 years of state and federal tax returns and challenged @HarrisonJaime to do the same. Crickets. What is he hiding?

if Lindsay graham truly wanted to undermine trump, there are a lot of more effective things he could do as a senator and chair of the senate judiciary committee. I guess it could be a dig at trump just to remind the president that he sill has that senatorial power but probably more likely graham's just being a shameless pol.

Seems a little pointed... I mean at the very least he must have known that everyone who read it would make that connection - and decided to go ahead with it anyway.

but again, a dig, at most perhaps getting under trump's thin skin a little. they still happily play golf and obstruct justice together, so don't read too much into it.

Maybe LG is just a little bit worried about being re-elected and will say anything to protect number one.

LG is all about #1. he was McCain's supporting right-hand man when that provided benefits.

Trump Health Aide Alleges Broad Conspiracies and Warns of Armed Revolt

WASHINGTON — The top communications official at the powerful cabinet department in charge of combating the coronavirus made outlandish and false claims on Sunday that career government scientists were engaging in “sedition” in their handling of the pandemic and warned that left-wing hit squads were preparing for armed insurrection after the election.

Michael Caputo, 58, the assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services, said without evidence that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was harboring a “resistance unit” determined to undermine President Trump.

Mr. Caputo, who has faced criticism for leading efforts to warp C.D.C. weekly bulletins to fit Mr. Trump’s pandemic narrative, suggested that he personally could be in danger.

“You understand that they’re going to have to kill me, and unfortunately, I think that’s where this is going,” Mr. Caputo, a Trump loyalist installed by the White House in April, told followers in a video he hosted live on his personal Facebook page. Mr. Caputo has 5,000 Facebook friends, and the video has been viewed more than 850 times. It has been shared by 44 followers.

...

Mr. Caputo on Sunday complained on Facebook that he was under siege by the media and said that his physical health was in question and his “mental health has definitely failed.”

“I don’t like being alone in Washington,” he said, describing “shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long.” He then ran through a series of conspiracy theories, culminating in a prediction that Mr. Trump will win re-election but his Democratic opponent, Joseph R. Biden Jr., will refuse to concede.

“And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin,” he said. “The drills that you’ve seen are nothing.” He added: “If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because it’s going to be hard to get.”
