A federal judge on Thursday again declined to quash Sen. Lindsay Graham’s (R-SC) bid to avoid testifying to a Georgia grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s interference in the 2020 election. But the judge did limit the issues on which Graham could be questioned.
As expected. As is Lindsey’s appeal to this decision. I am fairly certain that Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis has no particular interest in Lindsey’s “speech and debate fact-finding questions” Guessing that Willis knows exactly what to ask about his attempts to persuade or threaten. Lindsey is running scared. Lindsey thinks if he can postpone long enough, all “shoes will have dropped,” and that he can muddle through without trouble.
Is planning or participating in a coup a legislative duty?
Oh Linz. They have some questions, and you have the 5th.
Graham’s fright and evasion of Willis’ questioning betrays his guilt. What is so beautiful about this is that all the delaying tactics simply amplify Graham’s appearance not only of guilt, but abject guilt.
“partial quashal”
Ugh. There’s a phrase I could do without.
I have to say, Linz’ super squirrelley behavior in doing anything and everything to avoid speaking under oath really tells the whole story.
He’s a sorry, spineless little shit that just flaps whichever way the wind seems to be blowing.
Judgespeak for “Bitch, PLEASE.”
“The Court does not find that it can simply accept Senator Graham’s sweeping and conclusory characterizations of the calls and ignore other objective facts in the record that call Senator Graham’s characterizations into question.”
I thought Lindsey was doing field research for his proposed legislation on how to prevent political coups and other attempts to overthrow the duly elected government. 
Sen. Graham, above, reacts to today’s ruling.
Sounds like she is going to get to ask every question she wants to ask.
“Bad boy, bad boy, what you gonna do when the come for you.”
Once the initial view of the craven, empty soul is bared, doing it again is easy.
Rubio reminds me of Graham, except Graham tries to season his depravity with verbiage designed to imitate homespun folks like Andy Griffith.
It’s an insult to Andy.
Can’t comment on the legal issues but logically and morally, as a matter of civics, this threads the needle well enough IMO, not simply WRT this particular, and utterly contemptible, Senator but because it clarifies some limits to broad immunity any Senator might claim.
These restrictions are reasonable. In fact they’re so reasonable that it seems to me that they would be the restrictions that any investigation would put on questions, right?
Otherwise, what’s to stop a grand jury from subpoenaing George RR Martin to find out how close he really is to finishing his novel?
It’s a rather clever ruling. Graham will be asked broad questions, including follow ups, on his criminal activity. They won’t be specific to the call with Mr Raffensberger. Graham can either answer or take the 5th. If he takes the 5th, any contrary testimony — including from Raffensberger — will be the only evidence of record, and Graham is screwed. If Graham answers, he faces perjury charges if he lied.
That’s a master class in twerking right there.
(Might draw a crowd in certain incarceration facilities.)
If Graham keeps going he’s going to execute a flawless full Giuliani with a twist and transform himself from a witness into a target. Godspeed, Lindsey.
I don’t see how even Lindsey can pussyfoot around this steaming pile.
When his time comes to testify I wonder if the witness stand will be equipped with a fainting couch.
In Boston, ‘partial quashal’ rhymes.
