Graham Ordered To Testify In Georgia DA Probe By Appeals Court

A three-judge panel on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday ordered Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to testify in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation into ex-President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.

I believe Lindsey may have to go through some things. So sad, too bad.

Quick question for those who know more than me. Once mail-in ballots are received and removed from their envelopes, how do you know which ballots are mail-in and which are not unless you leave them in a separate pile until all the in-person ballots are counted? Do they do that in GA?

Did Graham advocate cancelling all the votes in certain counties? Because all GA counties must have had some mail-in ballots. If I understand this correctly, his advocacy was for voter nullification of entire areas of the state based on race and political preference.

So far SCOTUS has been pretty consistent in showing that they want nothing to do with any of these cases. My guess is that they’ll let this ruling stand as well.

For one thing, they are folded.

Not familiar with GA’s in-person ballots, but wouldn’t the GA mail in ballots be folded?
@psudawnc great minds…

I have no idea of why Senator Graham is making such a big deal out of this. All he’ll do is repeat “Fifth. Fifth. FIFTH!!!”

Just get it over with, man.

At some point, Graham’s place in history will be as corruptly clownish as most of us have suspected.

Shall we start a pool to guess how many time this spineless worm takes the 5th?

Rumor has it that Graham has ordered a fresh case of Lydia Pinkham’s to take with him to the Grand Jury.

IIRC he’s been told he is NOT a target in the Fulton County DA investigation.

Fani wants him to answer her questions with answers, not “5th!”

I’m in.
My guess is 421.

He will appeal and delay for as long as he can then take the fifth because that’s what they are taught in Magaschool.

Pearl clutching time for the old boy. He really messed up. I dream of the day when he gets
indicted and convicted and removed from the Senate.

There is “significant dispute about whether his phone calls with Georgia election officials were legislative investigations at all,” the court said.

You love to see it

We have friends that are direct descendents of Lydia Herownself. The family is still enjoying the proceeds from that magic elixir.

In a just world his testimony would be televised so that we could all witness his he-man toughness.

He can appeal for an en banc hearing in the 11th Circuit, but SCOTUS won’t touch it.

Neither will the 11th Circuit.
