What Lindsey Graham Did In Georgia To Keep Trump In Power - TPM – Talking Points Memo

from mizz Lindsey’s lawyer:

“As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Graham was well within his rights to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections.”

Was that written using Comic Sans Font??

So, time for the Leader of the Senate to remove the current Chair and replace it with someone who is not a criminal. Reason? I’ll go back to my final, fed-up, “Mom” reason:

Because I said so!

H/T @katscherger, who quoted it “frist.” :laughing:

“Graham has maintained that he did nothing unlawful on his calls with Raffensperger, with his attorneys reiterating that they’ll fight the subpoena.” The two parts of that sentence are at odds with each other. If you did nothing unlawful, and you’ve been subpoenaed only as a witness, why are you fighting the subpoena?

“Graham has maintained that he did nothing unlawful, with his attorneys reiterating his refusal to say that under oath.”

SC’s Governor will remind him and us, that Graham isn’t expendable.

I think he’d have to be extradited from where? DC? SC? Then the sheriff would take custody at the airport right?

So…elect Stacey Abrams governor.

If what Graham did was legal and well within his rights, he should have zero problem with testifying to a legally empaneled grand jury.

Does Lindsey actually do a job? And if so, what kind of 'job" would that be?

That’s “was” not “is” - Lindsey was still Chairman at the time this all went down but is now that the Dems are in control he’s simply a minority member. Dick Durbin is the current Chair of Judiciary…

“If Republicans don’t challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again,” Graham said in a Nov. 8 Fox News appearance.

Nice thought. The same might be applied to US Senators from South Carolina named Graham.

I’d like to see this slimy little bastard squirming like a spider on a hot stove-lid.

Lindsay is trying to wrangle the speech and debate clause of the Constitution to protect him from testifying. Not gonna work. Lindsay was not in the well of the Senate when he made his phone call. And if all Lindsay was doing was requesting information, then he should be glad – nay, EAGER – to testify. But because Lindsay has crawled up TFG’s lower intestinal tract, he is unable to see reason.

If he can just not show, why fight it in court?

Aha! So that’s where he got that shiny suit.

Just look at his knees and there’s your answer.

I’m ok with sending the County Sheriff – I kinda like “the cut of this guy’s jib,” and I’m not talking noses here…
