Judge sets timeline for motions regarding Graham Georgia grand jury subpoena
A federal judge on Monday set a series of deadlines for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and the Fulton County, Ga., district attorney as she considers whether Graham must testify before a grand jury probing whether former President Trump and his allies attempted to interfere with the 2020 election.

A federal appeals court on Sunday temporarily blocked a subpoena ordering Graham to appear, sending the ruling back to the district court to determine whether Graham is entitled to a “partial quashal or modification” of the subpoena under the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause.

Graham has argued the clause, which shields congressional members from testifying about legislative matters related to their work, protects him from being forced to testify.

The district judge on Monday gave Graham until 9 a.m. on Wednesday to file a motion explaining what information or questions he wants the court to address in an order partially quashing the subpoena.

After Graham’s motion, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office — which has been leading the probe — will have until Monday at 9 a.m. to file its response. Graham will subsequently have two days to reply to the district attorney’s response.
U.S. District Court Judge Leigh Martin May last week rejected Graham’s requests to quash or delay the subpoena, arguing that he did not have immunity from testifying under the Speech and Debate Clause.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) has expressed interested in phone conversations between Graham and election officials in Georgia.
The senator reportedly called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to inquire about voter fraud shortly after Election Day in 2020.

Trump in a now-infamous call later pressured Raffensperger in January 2021 to “find” enough votes to flip the state in his favor after President Biden narrowly won Georgia’s electoral college votes.

Rudy Giuliani, who helped lead efforts to overturn the election, testified before the grand jury on Wednesday after attempting to delay his appearance. His lawyers said days before the appearance that prosecutors identified Giuliani as a target of the probe.
grab that little fucking pansy by the ankles and shake the fucking truth out of him...i'm so sick of republicans thinking they're above the law, it's time to start using the law to show them different, either he fucking testifies, or he's guilty of contempt and they lock him up the same fucking day till he decides to be more cooperative

Lindsey Graham is running out of rope & likely will soon find himself in the GA grand jury hot seat

17,218 views Aug 22, 2022 Lindsey Graham desperately is trying to avoid having to testify before the Georgia grand jury about the election crimes of Donald Trump. Judge Leigh Martin May recently ruled against Graham and ordered him to testify. So, of course, Graham appealed. Earlier today, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has put a temporary hold on Graham's appearance and returned the case to Judge May for her to decide if Graham has any legitimate Speech and Debate Clause protection against answering any questions that might be put to him by the George state prosecutors.

Judge May wasted no time, giving Graham a deadline of 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 24, to tell her what questions or topics he thinks he might not be able to testify about because he was involved in "legitimate legislative activity" as he was working to assist Trump to overturn the election results in Georgia. Notably, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has said that Graham called him multiple times and urged him to toss out lawfully cast ballots. This likely will not end well for Lindsey Graham.

i hope they crucify him upside down, and leave his carcass to hang, to put the fear of the law in other's who would ignore legal subpoenas...being a senator or working for one does not make you immune to the law

why doesn't the DOJ just put out a blanket subpoena for the entire goddamn republican party and every one of their lawyers?....we can sort out the few innocent ones, and just burn the rest in a pit, like they made the Vets do with toxic waste...seems both appropriate AND fair.

This religious war started with Billy Graham. And others.
that is a new enemy to deal with...that's exactly how i'm looking at ALL religious involvement in politics, as an outside actor trying to change a situation they should have no involvement with whatsoever...
the next thing i'm going to start pushing hard is campaign finance control...you want me to trust politicians? then prove to me that you aren't bought and paid for by the people buying you...50 bucks from Ethel, 100 bucks from Bob...who gives a fuck? 50k from an oil company? 500k from a church group? that's a down payment, for which they expect service at a later date.
all money has to go to the parties, all money has to be accounted for down to the penny, all candidates get the same amount of money to campaign with...lets have politics be about ideas, and the people who have them, not about money, and the people who can be bought with it

Religious people could actually turn this around if they focused more on "morality" issues instead of biblical ones imo. I want to hear logical issues not ones that come from an old book that was re-written 100 times by white kings and white religious leaders.

What you ask requires that they shed deep conditioning against critical thought. The emphasis on faith is not for our benefit.

I found out recently, and to my heartbreak, that a family member thinks that that man’s legal troubles are a colossal setup. The only thing I can do is gently avoid talking politics or rising to the frequently-offered bait, and try to be kind. Ya cannot convince someone with religion, whether or not it is the church sort.

Jan6th, the gift that keeps on giving...
Feds arrest five members of 'B Squad' militia allegedly run by former GOP House candidate in Jan. 6 case

The name "B Squad" and references to "plan B," the FBI affidavit suggests, referred to "an alternate plan to be in place if they do not get the desired electoral outcome (i.e., the former president remaining in power)."
