Lindsey Graham went out of his way to interrupt Martha McCallum in order to address Trump directly through his television screen today.

“Mr. President, if you’re watching, I think you’re gonna be fine unless you screw this up,” Graham said on Fox News. “Let the process play out. I don’t believe you colluded with the Russians, but Mueller will soon tell us. The Cohen situation I am convinced has got nothing to do with Russia.”
Graham’s comments come after reports that the president reportedly wanted to fire Mueller in December and has recently been mulling firing deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein.
The Senator said he believes that the recent raid on Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen — which was approved by Rosenstein — was unrelated to the Russian investigation.
“If Mueller was trying to squeeze Cohen, Mueller would have done it. This is something unconnected to Russia, I am 100 percent convinced of that and we’ll see what Mueller does, let him do his job,” Graham told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum.
I’m sure Trump just loves the media and the entire political world waiting with baited breath to discover what he’s going to do about Mueller. And to be honest, I don’t think anything would really happen if he did try to fire him. There’s just not enough political power in those who would think that it would be an unreasonable move. Frankly, I think Trump’s foolish to wait so long to fire him and let the resistance build up. Not enough people care now, why wait until someone *might* care?
