I Do Declare: Fani Willis Beat Lindsey Graham in Federal Court. Now He Must Testify Under Oath.
More popcorn, please.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who we imagine spends his free time on a wraparound porch wearing seerksucker and sipping mint juleps, will have to interrupt that routine and head south to Georgia to answer questions in front of a grand jury.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday gave the final smackdown to Grahams legal effort to avoid a subpoena to answer questions before the special grand jury convened by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to investigate whether ex-prez Donald Trump, or anyone else, broke the law in trying to overturn Georgias 2020 election results. The anyone else part is important, because by definition it could include Graham himself, who was a Trump campaign supporter and made calls to Georgia officials in the wake of Trumps loss, around the same time that Trump himself was pushing the lie that he actually won in Georgia, and nationally.
Graham will now have to answer questions under oath related to what he knew about Trumps effort, and about his own, which means he could himself be at legal peril for perjury if he doesnt tell the truth. Of course, he could always plead the fifth, staving off answering any questions that incriminate him, and the federal courts ruling also says he is protected from answering questions that fall under his authority to conduct legislative inquiry, potentially a major loophole.
