Those absurdities have been effective stalling tactics. He is quite good at running the clock out.

How about MORON fire branded into his forehead in 2" high letters! No need though, he will be in a cage, and I don't think a gilded one either, until removed in a bag. I think it is gonna happen a lot faster than most people think too, the trial won't take long, there is no room to squirm and squeal, he has no defense, and the government has a mountain of evidence and witnesses in the documents and obstruction cases. It is low hanging fruit and Jack will scoop it up to take Donald off the table first, then he goes after everybody else involved in J6 including the magats in congress. We will see, but if Jack goes where the evidence leads and lots of rats looking for deals guide him and reveal more crimes by others. Who knows where it might lead as he hands shit off to other teams of prosecutors at the DOJ for crimes uncovered not associated with J6. They are republicans and when Jack rolls over a few rocks all kinds of slimy things will wiggle in the bright sunlight.

Graham testifies before Georgia grand jury in 2020 election probe
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday testified before a Fulton County, Ga., special grand jury probing 2020 election interference in the state after a months-long attempt to avoid appearing.

Graham, an ally of former President Trump, had cited constitutional arguments as he sought to block a subpoena from the Fulton County district attorney, but the Supreme Court earlier this month paved the way for Graham’s testimony.

“Today, Senator Graham appeared before the Fulton County Special Grand Jury for just over two hours and answered all questions,” Graham’s office said in a statement. “The Senator feels he was treated with respect, professionalism and courtesy. Out of respect for the grand jury process he will not comment on the substance of the questions.”

A judge in July approved the subpoena from District Attorney Fani Willis (D), who expressed interest in hearing from Graham about calls he made to Georgia’s top elections official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), following the 2020 presidential election.
Raffensperger, who has also testified before the grand jury, claimed Graham suggested to him that he should discard some ballots during one of the calls. Graham has denied Raffensperger’s account.

In a separate call, Trump pressed Raffensperger following the election to “find” the roughly 11,000 votes required to overturn President Biden’s victory in the state, a request Raffensperger resisted as he voiced disagreement with Trump’s unfounded claims of mass electoral fraud.
Graham looked to quash Willis’s subpoena, citing the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause, which provides some protections for lawmakers in testifying, among other arguments.

A federal trial judge in September shielded Graham from testifying in fact-finding inquiries related to election procedures and allegations of voter fraud in the state, ruling it constituted “protected legislative activity,” but otherwise allowed his appearance to move forward.

Graham appealed the ruling to an Atlanta-based federal appeals court, but a panel affirmed the prior decision and indicated the South Carolina Republican could object to specific questions in the lower court.

Graham then sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court, but the justices rebuffed his request while indicating that constitutional guardrails should apply in his appearance.

His appearance on Tuesday marks the latest Trump ally to testify before the grand jury. Others include Rudy Giuliani, other pro-Trump attorneys and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.


Willis has previously indicated charges in the criminal probe may come before the end of the calendar year.

1/6 Cmte. Has Already Written 8 Chapters Of Final Report Says Hugo Lowell

5,955 views Nov 22, 2022
The 1/6 Committee is expected to deliver their final report soon just as the DOJ’s investigation into Donald Trump is heating up. The Guardian’s Hugo Lowell and Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance join Katie Phang to discuss.

Of course, she wants to take the focus off republican house members and senators who were involved in the coup attempt and put the blame all on Trump. It's only the report though and all the evidence and Trumps taxes too could be released to the public by congress. Jack will draw his own conclusions and have his own theory of the case and it might include some elected republican politicans, particularly those who sought pardons. Jack could upset the balance of power by indicting congress people and even a senator or two over J6.

Getting close to a thousand magats who stormed the capitol, how many will Jack end up snagging over the next couple of years? Jack might even look into DeJoy and the USPS scam to suppress the mail in vote, Donald could even rat him out. There will be many investigations of corruption and other things that happened during the Trump administration. Everyone who cuts a deal with Jack has to confess their crimes and tell of any other crimes they have knowledge of, and they are republicans.

On the other hand, she could be manically focused on getting Trumps ass for J6, but Jack has Donald's nuts in a vice already and soon will have his ass.

Whoever Merrill Matthews is, they're a ham handed troll. Why would the DOJ bother with the 14th amendment, when they have an iron bound criminal case against him? actually, multiple criminal cases against him...sounds like wishful thinking on Matthews part...

It might be a byproduct of his convictions over J6 anyway. Donald will die in prison over the secret documents alone and Biden would love to run against him from his cell in federal prison, if the base nominated him. Even if he won, his administration would be run from the big house and not the white house, and even before that they could pull the rug out from under him using his convictions over J6. His support among the republican base is falling away and more will once he is indicted, more still when he is convicted. Donald will be under the federal DC judge's control from the moment he pleads until the trial and sentencing. once indicted he might not even make bail, not many do who are charged with this kind of crime facing this kind of time with this amount of evidence against them. If he is released, he will have conditions that he dare not violate or he will go to jail and calling this judge corrupt outside court and making unfounded accusations will see him hauled back before the judge. Donald is gonna have one Hulluva Christmas I figure and if he is lucky enough to be released after indictment he had better watch what he tweets.

There is no special provision under the law for ex-presidents and once the machine gets ahold of Donald, he will be treated like any other citizen, no better no worse, it will be a shock to him and many. Where they will cage him is about the only mystery left.

never mind the laptop; it’s time to find out about the wheel.

They want the TV footage of the testimony so they can dump it to the public with the rest of the evidence before the congress changes hands.

while the article mentions the steering wheel incident, I suspect that the missing texts are the meat of the thing. That proves that the high crimes etc. were not confined to a core group of half a dozen plus that man.

That's the rest of the evidence part, but this is partly politics and that means TV, Jack and their bosses could be interested too and this way they will know along with the press and public. He has probably been talking to a grand jury already, but that is secret, even from their bosses.

Not a good day for the Oath Keepers... Guilty on seditious conspiracy. Plotted ahead of time to overthrow the government by force. And other charges.

Lose the hat and enjoy prison...

Or maybe strike a deal for less time and start talking about Roger Stone & Michael Flynn.

How stupid can you be to storm the Capitol over an obvious lie?

Meanwhile, an unindicted co-conspirator is living large in Florida on government subsidies.
