S.C. senator tells Americans to dismiss claims by renowned whistleblower
January 4, 2026 57 Comments
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham says the incoming Trump administration should ignore Wikileaks founder Julian Assange’s assertion that the Russian government did not interfere in the US election.
Appearing on CNN Wednesday, Graham attempted to discredit Assange’s reputation and stated Trump should pay more attention to US intelligence agencies.
“I don’t believe any American should give a whole lot of credibility to what Mr. Assange says,” Sen. Graham said. “In ‘Julian Assange’ world, we’re the bad guys — not the Iranians, not the Russians, not the North Koreans. You gotta remember who this guy is.”
“Don’t listen to Julian Assange on anything.”
“I hope the president-elect will get his information and trust the American patriots who work in the intelligence community who swear oath and allegiance to the Constitution, and not some guy hiding from the law who has a record of undercutting and undermining American democracy,” he added.
In an interview with Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday, Assange claimed the Russian government was not the source of WikiLeaks’ content.
“We can say, we have said, repeatedly that over the last two months that our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party,” Assange told Hannity.
“Our publications had wide uptake by the American people, they’re all true. But that’s not the allegation that’s being presented by the Obama White House. So, why such a dramatic response? Well, the reason is obvious. They’re trying to delegitimize the Trump administration as it goes into the White House. They are trying to say that President-elect Trump is not a legitimate president.”
President-elect Donald Trump also addressed Assange’s interview via Twitter, agreeing the US media is “dishonest” and questioning the DNC’s shoddy cyber security.

Lindsey Graham and John McCain are couriers of fake news, traitors and abysmal idiots. The sooner the citizens of SC and AZ understand the motivations of these two men, then hopefully, they can muster the resolve to help them retire.

Two sides to every story, the truth side
and the Lindsey Graham side
He tries so hard to sound legit, but is either misguided ramblings or outright lies.
I thought Trump threw him out.
Lindsey actually thinks he has advice to share with Trump?
He has an opinion which he pulled out of his tukus, but really nothing that could be construed as advice.
“Lindsey Graham, while appearing on a MSM Lie Machine Program gave Donald Trump valuable advise”
Really?
I’d rather flip a coin over s subway grating, there’d be a better chance fo coming out ahead.
I think Assange’s next volley of facts will eviscerate the Crooked MSM
It will validate our team, but the Left don’t care. For them it is not whether they are telling the truth it is whether you are lapping up their BS.
It sounds about right, a 13 year old could’ve hacked the DNC’s email, and the DNC dopes clicked on malware a housewife using AMAZON Prime would avoid.

I think Pansy Graham has something to hide and will be exposed
eventually. He always plays the hawk but his intentions are always
to support the Democrats. RHINO’S like this Graham cracker should
go away or be drained with the useless unprofitable swamp.

The source of the Wikileaks exposed emails came from within the DNC from a disgruntled Sanders supporter who was pissed off at Hitlery. Go figure.

Lindsey Graham is a bit like Barry in “whiteface.”
