Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) went after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday after court documents revealed that a grand jury in Georgia recommended that he be criminally charged for his actions doubting the result of the 2020 election.
Graham defended his actions on Friday, saying that the statements were consistent with his position as a senator. Georgia prosecutors did not end up pursuing charges.
I think Lindsey Grahams explanation doesnt pass the laugh test, Schiff said in a CNN interview. You dont as a senator, a House member or another elected official call a secretary of state in some other state and try to get them to toss out votes.
That is not the least part of the job description, and hes lucky not to be indicted, he continued.

(82,849 posts)Nowhere is it in the job description of a United States Senator that he can meddle in any election, and certainly not in another state's election. Unless Sen. Graham would like every Democrat across the country to demand and get a forensic close-up review of South Carolina's conduct of its elections. (Spoiler alert: Heck no.)
