Lindsey has been kissing T’s ass for years. I’m not buying it. You know what’s “unreasonable and oppressive?"
An insurrection against the laws you swore to uphold.

Attorneys for the fake electors said in the court filing that they are moving to “quash” grand jury subpoenas for appearances beginning on July 25, calling them “unreasonable and oppressive.”

So lindseymat drops one set of objections that weren’t getting any traction and is free to move on to the next set of objections to the subpoena.

The real news is buried at the end, that 11 Georgia alternafraud electors have been promoted from grand jury “witness” to grand jury “target”:

New court documents filed Tuesday also indicated that Willis has told lawyers of the 11 fake Trump electors that they are considered targets in the special grand jury’s probe in light of “new evidence.” Georgia prosecutors reportedly previously considered the fake electors to be witnesses in the grand jury investigation, according to CNN.

I will assume the other 5 GA alternafraud electors have been informed via other means.

So it’s just a procedural move. Accept the subpoena. Argue its validity in court. It doesn’t seem to change the soft legal foundations for refusing to cooperate with the grand jury.

Yes, they prove that they’re guilty. Guilty people always finds evidence against them unreasonable and oppressive.

I wonder if the prosecution will pursue something like a RICO charge.

YES, it means the prosecutor plans to ask the grand jury to charge them with a crime because the prosecutor believes they are guilty.

South Carolina played an important role in the outset of another disagreement between the federal government and a group of insurrectionists. Graham is simply following a Southern strategy that is “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.”
