Sen. Graham must answer these questions/charges.

[Botany]

1) Is it a felony to ask somebody else to commit a felony?

All Lindsey did was call up Georgia's Sec. of State and ask if he could throw away votes from ...

... areas where black people voted. Or something like that. Willis has been on this since Feb. 2022

"Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will look into the call Graham made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger 10 days after the Nov. 3 election, the Post reported, citing an unnamed person familiar with the probe.

Graham, a Republican and a close Trump ally, asked Raffensperger whether he had the power to toss out all mail ballots in certain counties, Raffensperger has told the Post.

Raffensperger said Graham appeared to be asking him to improperly find a way to set aside legally cast ballots, according to the newspaper."

BTW Wasn’t Sen. Graham a judge advocate for the USAF so he must have know he was breaking the law in trying to change the outcome of an election by asking to throw out the votes from blacks in Fulton County?

2) Senator Lindsey Graham will not comply with subpoena in Georgia election probe


Is Lindsey Graham's argument that he has some kind of privilege as a US Senator from S. Carolina to interfere with the vote count in Georgia so he doesn’t have to answer a grand jury’s subpoena moot? Because:

a) That kind of privilege don’t exist.

b) He was breaking the law at the time.

Republican 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 Georgia’s 2020 election by former President Donald Trump and his allies, the lawmaker’s attorneys said Wednesday,

Fulton County, Georgia, investigators have told them that Graham, an ally of Trump’s, is “neither a subject nor target of the investigation, simply a witness,” his attorneys said.

They claimed that if the subpoena to 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,” Graham’s lawyers, Bart Daniel and Matt Austin, said in a statement.

1. The law doesn't pertain to republicans ......

[jimfields33]

9. I'm shocked the Fulton county DA hasn't even listened to the call

Shouldn’t that have been first thing before giving a subpoena?

[Kid Berwyn]

2. Gee. Election Fraud

Seems to be a recurring theme of the GOP.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. He'll likely take the 5th once he's forced to testify.

[gab13by13]

8. Not if he is given immunity,

this is where Fani needs to coordinate with Merrick.

[madaboutharry]

4. Remember when he was one of the impeachment managers during the Clinton impeachment?

"...It’s just when you start using your office and you’re acting in a way that hurts people, you’ve committed a high crime."

Always the hypocrite.

He is a loathsome and pitiful little man. And he deserves no empathy.

[jimfields33]

10. Graham hasn't lied under oath yet.

So the situations are completely different.

[madaboutharry]

13. Uh, I wasn't comparing him to Clinton.

You misunderstood my post.

[myohmy2]

5. "This is all politics. Fulton County is engaged in a fishing expedition..."

...graham not wanting to comply with the subpoena is what's 'all politics'...

...republicans...

[Samrob]

6. But not the same kind of fishing expedition as Lindsey. nt

[gab13by13]

7. Nice thread,

1. Interfering in an election is a crime. Lyndsey probably committed a couple of crimes.

I hope that Lyndsey's phone call was recorded since Magats are now programmed to lie with impunity.

2. Lyndsey is going to claim some privilege that he is exempt because he was performing his duties as Senator. Pretty weak sauce there seeing as he isn't a Senator from Georgia.

3. The lawyer for Lyndsey is claiming that the grand jury is political because the Fulton County DA is going to turn over all of the evidence to the select committee. This claim is ridiculous because it would be a crime for Fani Willis to do that, it is against the law.

If Lyndsey were to turn on his golfing buddy we are going to find out what dirt Trump has on him.

I just wish these appeals didn't drag on so long. Lyndsey's subpoena challenge should be quickly adjudicated.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. That is code for..."I fucked up. Get me out of this mess."

Lindsey Graham BROKE the law and he KNEW he did.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Did he actually say to throw out votes in black dominated communities?

And isn't this the strategy the Republicans are using everywhere else?

It seems to me that if it can be proven that more votes are thrown out of Democratic areas in Red States, that we have a smoking gun for intentional election tampering.

[gab13by13]

14. Isn't it a crime to throw out duly cast ballots, no matter the party?

[Botany]

15. From the O.P.

"Raffensperger said Graham appeared to be asking him to improperly find a way to set aside
legally cast ballots, according to the newspaper."


I think Lindsey was asking for Raffensperger to set aside the mail in ballots from Fulton County
because of his/the Trump's campaign made up reason that the signatures didn't match.

"... the smoking gun for intentional election tampering." 'I just want 11,780 votes' D. Trump

[Baitball Blogger]

17. It would be a bonus of Lindsey goes down with them.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

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