Apparently, the pranksters are connected to Russian Intel, for what it's worth. They likely leaked the call because Lindsey flipped to pro-Kurd in public, as well as getting on Donnie Brainstem's bad side.

It's hard to believe, but once upon a time the man was a legitimately talented Federal prosecutor. He was in charge of prosecuting the Five Families in the Mafia Commission trial, and also got convictions against Ivan Boskey and Michael Milken.

He was also pretty drat popular after the 9/11 response and because a lot of filth in NYC got turned around/cleaned up during his administration.

Yeah, but the 9/11 popularity was by association, not because he did anything specific himself.

Cleaning up Time Square and getting rid of all the crackheads was him though. That and 'broken windows'.

I think the only believable thing Trump has ever said is "as president I take photos with lots of people and don't remember them all."

But Graham also expressed sympathy for Turkey’s “Kurdish problem” and described the Kurds as a “threat.” Those private comments appear to contradict his public statements this week, in which he criticized Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria because it’s “wrong to abandon the Kurds, who have been strong allies against” the Islamic State.

...

“I told President Trump that Obama made a huge mistake in relying on the YPG Kurds,” Graham continued. “Everything I worried about has come true, and now we have to make sure Turkey is protected from this threat in Syria. I’m sympathetic to the YPG problem, and so is the president, quite frankly.”

Indeed, Trump acknowledged as much in a press conference on Wednesday, appearing to echo Graham’s private comments. “If you read today — a couple of reports saying that when President Obama started this whole thing,” Trump said. “As you know, it was started by President Obama; he created a natural war with Turkey and their longtime enemy, PKK. And they’re still there.” Turkey has been in conflict with the P.K.K., also known as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, since the 1980s. Both Turkey and the U.S. consider it a terrorist organization.

he also was on the street throughout the leading press events and getting news out asap.

in terms of response and timing, and again the not pants making GBS threads at the time of 9/11 rudy deserves credit. everything hes done after is a clusterfuck of brokebrain proportions and i hope hes booed every time he shows his face at yankee stadium

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
If I recall correctly, a lot of 9/11 first responders and their families blame him for a large portion of the first responder deaths because he was the main pushback on updating their radios to work in the towers.
