After months of failed legal challenges, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) appeared Tuesday before a special grand jury investigating efforts by former president Donald Trump and his allies to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, the latest high-profile witness in a probe that is believed to be nearing conclusion.

A sheriff said that Graham entered Fulton County Courthouse around 8 a.m to appear before the grand jury, which is hearing testimony in private. Kevin D. Bishop, a spokesman for Graham, later said in a statement the senator testified for “just over two hours and answered all questions.”

"The senator feels he was treated with respect, professionalism and courtesy. Out of respect for the grand jury process, he will not comment on the substance of the questions,” Bishop said.

A spokesman for the Fulton County district attorney’s office, which is leading the investigation, did not respond to a request for comment.

Answered all questions. "I don't remember." "I can't recall." "It slips my memory." "I'm not sure."

1. Took the 5th?

[SCantiGOP]

12. My first thought when his spokesperson said he answered all quesitons

"I take the fifth" would qualify as an answer, as would "I don't recall."

[BumRushDaShow]

2. And the kicker is

this is just their "special grand jury" that will inform the final decision to refer to the state's regular grand jury for future potential indictments.

[William769]

3. "I was just doing my job".

[agingdem]

6. so was Hitler's SS..just doing their job...right

[calimary]

14. Just following orders.

[hlthe2b]

4. "answered"... Millions of miles separating that comment and

"answered substantively, fully, and honestly..."

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. Yeah, all that means is his big mouth was open and hot fetid air was coming out of it.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. Eeeeewwwwwwwww!!!!!

Hate to be anywhere near THAT witness stand............

[agingdem]

7. OMFG.."out of respect for the grand jury process"??

the guy did everything he could short of cutting off an arm to avoid testifying...remind me how many appeals did Lindsey file before he ran out of courts?..such bullshit..

[LakeArenal]

13. He would say that's his right and part of the process.

[agingdem]

15. Lindsey's an attorney..

he knows his rights..the right to have his head so far up Trump's fat ass he can taste a Big Mac..

[LakeArenal]

17. They have no taste.

[MyOwnPeace]

23. OK, that's not fair!

Caught me totally off guard on THAT one!!!!!

[agingdem]

24. Special sauce..but I digress...

[SergeStorms]

27. Like eating a block...

of spongy salt.

When I was young I could eat them, but in the past 20 years or so you'd have to put a gun to my head and force me to eat that crap. 🤢

[msfiddlestix]

29. omg.... too early in the morning! LOL

[MyOwnPeace]

25. Very good point!

To claim he "honors the process" after spending the past few months appealing his way up through the court system to AVOID THE PROCESS - well, obviously he'd rather be 'behind' the push for information than 'in front' of it.

(You know, looking back at that comment, one might get the idea that I'm not giving Lindsey credit for what he believes to be his right as a representative of our government. It is his right to state whatever position he prefers.)

[republianmushroom]

8. should have just complied, wouldn't have shown

what an A-O you are. And they still got you, Lindsey

[hibbing]

10. I wonder how many cocktails deep he is in at 8 a.m. n/t

[Kennah]

21. 6. Weed at 1 hour. Meth at 2 hours.

[Gore1FL]

26. I am guessing there have been a lot of fifths... nt

[Harker]

11. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he implicated Trumpsky.

He's a leaf in the wind.

[LakeArenal]

18. Good point.

[kairos12]

16. How did he enunciate with his

head up Chump’s ass?

[niyad]

19. His mouth may have moved, but did he say anything truthful or useful?

[Kennah]

20. Truthful? Unlikely. Useful? We'll have to wait for the indictments.

[LudwigPastorius]

28. _

[msfiddlestix]

30. Are transcripts of Special Grand Jury proceedings ever made available after a case is decided?

or for that matter, are they available following the conclusion of any grand jury?

This is one of a number of others I would be keenly interested in reading or hearing.

[msfiddlestix]

31. How miuch booze and snort did he do before appearing I wonder..

Scenes from Kavaaugh confirmation hearing when LG took chair of that committee. He was so smashed I was surprised he made it through without passing out or strokiing out.

I was embarrassed for him.
