Sen. Lindsey Graham facing ethics complaint over Georgia ballots question

Sen. Lindsey Graham facing ethics complaint over Georgia ballots question


CHARLESTON, S.C. — Three attorneys have filed an ethics complaint against U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, accusing the South Carolina Republican of pressuring a Georgia elections official to toss out legally cast absentee votes in the presidential race.

In a complaint filed Wednesday with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, Claire Finkelstein, Richard Painter and Walter Shaub “urge the committee to investigate whether Senator Graham suggested that Secretary Raffensperger disenfranchise Georgia voters by not counting votes lawfully cast for the office of president.” They also “demand clarity as to whether Senator Graham has threatened anyone with a Senate investigation of the Georgia vote tally and or taken steps to initiate such an investigation.”

The complaint also requests that Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, “be recused from any investigation or other Senate matter relating to alleged irregularities in the 2020 election” while any probe of his comments is ongoing.

Either the Democratic Party and the U.S. Government (FBI) throw the criminal and corruption charges at them to pay dearly with convictions and being barred from all government positions or influence, or we have NO functioning government that gives a damn about anyone doing whatever the hell they want.

Either laws mean something or they don't!
Which is it Democratic Party and FBI?
No more slaps on the wrist!
