Can Graham be arrested

[poli-junkie]

for not honoring GA prosecutor’s subpoena to testify in Trump election fraud?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

1. Don't see why not.

[Bev54]

2. He has a legal right to challenge the subpoena

[poli-junkie]

5. But as a sitting senator is he

immune from being arrested if he loses the subpoena challenge?

[Bev54]

9. No I doubt it, I think it will be determined by the court that he has no immunity

If they determine that he does then he gets away with it.

[FBaggins]

11. No. He isn't immune from arrest

He can’t be arrested for fighting a subpoena (including any appeals), but immunity from arrest is essentially obsolete. (Referring primarily to civil arrest that don’t occur any more)

[Darwins_Retriever]

19. Actually he is at certain times

Sitting Congressman cannot be arrested when Congress is in session, while traveling to Congress for a session or while traveling home from a session.

[brooklynite]

20. See Craig, Larry

Members of Congress get arrested all the time.

3. the correct questions are what is he hiding, what did he know and when did he know it..

[gab13by13]

4. He will have to prove that honoring the subpoena

will violate his official Senatorial duties. Seeing as he is not a Senator from Georgia, he has a long row to hoe.

His other argument is that the DA will share his testimony with the select committee which would be a crime.

Lyndsey doesn't really have a leg to stand on. If he testifies against Trump we may find out what dirt Trump has on Lyndsey.

7. Lindsey knows whatever trump has on him will come out. I assume he's shitting bricks about now.

[Bluethroughu]

12. Definitely.

[spanone]

6. I think we're learning that government officials are above the law when it comes to subpoenas

[Chainfire]

21. I think that you are right

If I ignored a subpoena, I have no doubt that the judge would send a deputy to take me away in cuffs. However, I am not of the protected classes of super-citizen.

[NowISeetheLight]

10. I'd pay good money...

… to see that weasel arrested. After living in SC for a few years I couldn’t wait to get out. People like him seemed to everywhere.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Don't Get Your Hopes Up

On MSNBC just now, they said that nothing is going to happen to him. They said he can fight it in court for months & years, to Delay, Delay, Delay.

[Ocelot II]

14. He's currently moving to quash the subpoena, which he has every legal right to do.

If his motion fails and then he just fails to show up, hypothetically he could be arrested, but it gets kind of tricky because he's not a resident of the state issuing the subpoena.

[poli-junkie]

15. Does it matter that he's not a GA resident?

[Ocelot II]

16. It's just another complication.

To subpoena a non-resident of a state, the DA has to send an application to a judge in the resident's state that, once the judge approves the application, would effectively give the DA jurisdiction to serve the subpoena. It's pretty routine. If the person loses their motion to quash, defies the subpoena and doesn't show up for the grand jury, the DA can't just send their own cops into the other state to pick the person up. It doesn't mean nothing can happen, but it's another hoop to jump through.

[UTUSN]

17. (my) Hope springs eternal.

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. He has filed a motion to quash; if it is denied, and he doesn't show, he goes to jail.

Playing FAFO with a Grand Jury is not wise.
