https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/06/lindsey-graham-to-fight-subpoena-in-trump-georgia-election-probe.htmlRepublican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will challenge a grand jury subpoena seeking his testimony as part of an investigation into possible criminal interference in Georgias 2020 election by former President Donald Trump and his allies, the lawmakers attorneys said Wednesday,
Fulton County, Georgia, investigators have told them that Graham, an ally of Trumps, is neither a subject nor target of the investigation, simply a witness, his attorneys said.
They claimed that if the subpoena for Graham is upheld, it will erode the constitutional balance of power and affect his ability to do his job as a member of Congress.
This is all politics. Fulton County is engaged in a fishing expedition and working in concert with the January 6 Committee in Washington, Grahams lawyers, Bart Daniel and Matt Austin, said in a statement.

Lindsey Graham does not have a legitimate basis to resist the DA's subpoena.

12 hours in a chair should be sufficient.

(16,121 posts)7. On the grounds that he doesn't wanna
testify and he thinks he doesn't have to.
In other words: he's a Republicon.
