Specifically, Graham mentioned the following reasons:
Trump turned over a million documents to the Special Counsel.
Almost every person around Trump testified.
Graham says he can’t think of one way in which he tried to stop Robert Mueller from doing his job.
And that the president never claimed executive privilege.
Lindsey is so right. Trump did nothing. Never fired Mueller, like Dems constantly said he would. Never asserted executive privilege, which is his right, or prevented anyone from doing interviews. Gave a million documents over. Get over it Dems, there's no there there https://t.co/PiiofARd1i

He says whether the president told Don McGahn to fire Mueller or not, he never did it, making the discussion irrelevant.
