A judge this week told Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, that you absolutely will
not escape that subpoena from that special grand jury over there in Georgia, you will in fact
have to go and testify, but there is a catch, a catch that works in the favor of Lindsey Graham
and the catch is this. The judge in saying that yes, you have to go testify,
did to a degree rule in Lindsey Graham's favor by saying that his quote, fact finding
phone calls with Georgia officials, he can't be questioned about those because
Graham's legal team actually did a decent enough job to convince the judge that those phone calls
should be covered under the speech or debate clause, because what Lindsey Graham was doing
while calling officials asking about election fraud in the state, he was actually trying to
make sure that before he voted to certify the election results, that he had all the facts.
They were fact finding phone calls, which is totally obviously what Lindsey Graham was doing,
right? And, and we can back that up because he must have done that to the other states too,
right? Not just Georgia. I mean, did you call Wisconsin officials and ask the same questions?
Did you ask Arizona officials? I mean, did you call down here to Florida, maybe to Texas,
New York, California, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama. No, no. Just Georgia? Huh?
You know what I just did there folks, I just gave you the legal argument that the Fulton county
prosecutor should have given in court to squash Lindsey Graham's speech or debate claims because,
oh, well I have to vote to certify. So I just wanted to make sure that everything was cool in
that state. Well, Georgia wasn't the only state Republicans were saying was filled with fraud.
So did Lindsey Graham call any of those other states? If not, then that's BS.
If he did, then sure, I'll buy that argument too.
It wasn't hard. And I understand those Fulton county prosecutors, they got a lot on their plate.
You know, they're very busy. Lindsey Graham probably doesn't have a ton of material
from those phone calls that's gonna, you know, implicate Donald Trump, but you could have fought
a little harder. I'm not even a lawyer and I still managed to dismantle their argument in about
five seconds of thinking about it. So, little disappointed in you guys on that one. So here's
what's gonna happen. Lindsey Graham is gonna have to go and testify in front of the committee
and either he's gonna pull a John Eastman and just sit there for hours, pleading the fifth amendment.
Or he's gonna have to testify, but the only way he's able to testify is to not
answer questions about what he did because that's covered under speech or debate now,
but he can answer questions about what Trump did. So the best we can get out of it,
of course, is that Lindsey Graham is not going to incriminate himself in any crimes,
but there may still be enough questions to be asked about what Donald Trump was doing
and they could bolster their case against him. So Lindsey Graham is not gonna end up being a
target because the things he did are in fact covered, constitutionally protected somehow,
but that doesn't protect anybody else involved that Lindsey Graham was dealing with.
So he can flip on people, but he's not gonna have to incriminate himself.
