Oh Lindsey, puhleeze

[kpete]

In their motion to quash, Graham’s attorney’s said the senator’s conversations with the Georgia Secretary of State’s office were relevant to his oversight responsibilities at the time as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“Senator Graham has been concerned about election security and ensuring that absentee voting procedures are secure long before the 2020 election,” Graham’s lawyers wrote.

The attorneys also argued that the Trump ally was protected by sovereign immunity given his role as a federal officer and that “no extraordinary circumstances exist for compelling his testimony.”

1. What a steaming crock of poo!

[Kali]

9. and his "argument" too

[Coventina]

10. I see what you did there!

And I approve!!

[Faux pas]

11. Lol

[dchill]

15. May he soon turn blue!

[Wounded Bear]

2. OK, go testify under oath and subject to cross examination...

Easy peasy.

[gratuitous]

12. Exactly

Why does Sen. Graham think he's in danger of indictment? Unless, of course, his perfectly innocent phone calls weren't quite so perfect or so innocent.

[Lovie777]

3. Seriously . ..

[spanone]

4. Lindsey got caught trying to impress tfg.

sovereign immunity my ass.

[GoodRaisin]

26. I think it's more than that. Lindsey's duties have no connection

to “signature matching” in other states. Nothing that I’m aware of. He says he got involved because of his role on the Senate Judiciary Committee. But how does that make sense?

I’m guessing he got a call from Trump demanding his help. Don’t know why. Maybe Trump has something on Lindsey and is blackmailing him. Lindsey behaves very oddly around Trump.

[Timewas]

5. There should be

Stipulations in the oath of office these asshats take that says they cannot ever refuse to testify in government matters.


Unless they resign their office.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Good idea! nt

[KPN]

17. I like it. That would require what? A law/act or

amendment?

[Timewas]

19. Sadly

Since congress makes it's own rules probably never happen... They can pass laws and exempt themselves from them.

[Volaris]

6. '...no extraordinary circumstances exist...'

Oh bullSHIT. Motherfucker, you're ON TAPE. Fire that lawyer, he's not even fucking trying lol...

[walkingman]

7. Our judicial system is so political that it is basically meaningless - it sends a green light

to all of the greedy bastards. America has become an exceptional POS.

[KPN]

18. American exceptionalism at its finest!

[Maraya1969]

8. If he has immunity he has no reason not to testify. And no 5th taking either.

[yonder]

13. Ha Ha Ha! Great point!

[Timewas]

21. Actually

If given transactional immunity he cannot refuse, and cannot use the fifth

[emulatorloo]

16. Tell it to the judge. He's already lost in court. He's gonna lose again.

[H2O Man]

20. Recommended.

I do not like violence. But he should be slapped for saying that.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. I recommend ...

The use of a 1 to 3 pound carp, after suitable seasoning for 3 days on a South Carolina beach, applied vigorously to each cheek should get the senator's attention.

[Irish_Dem]

22. He can commit any crime he wants. He is part of the political elite.

[Samrob]

23. Like a pundit pointed out last night

Being a Senator is the only job Lindsey can qualify for so he must do everything to hold onto that seat. He thought he had better chances to holding on to it if he sucked up to Tramp..er Trump.

[C_U_L8R]

24. Sovereign immunity, my ass.

Pick any one, Graham. You are complicit.

"They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses..."

[captain queeg]

25. We'll as much as Lyndsey disgusts me,he was right about one thing

When he said if the rethugs nominate TFG it would be the end of the party, and they’d deserve it.
