Graham considers subpoenas for Twitter, Facebook execs over Hunter Biden emails
Faux News ^ | October 19, 2020 | Sam Dorman

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is considering subpoenaing social media executives over their platforms' role in suppressing news about the explosive, alleged emails involving the former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

The committee staff is currently working with Facebook and Twitter to obtain voluntary testimony from Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, their respective CEOs, on Oct. 22. "If an agreement for voluntary testimony is not reached, the committee will vote on authorizing the subpoenas at a date to be determined," a committee press release reads.

The release included a draft motion for the Oct. 22 hearing. In addition to the CEOs testimonies, it would call for "any other content-moderation policies, practices, or actions that may interfere with or influence elections for federal office" as well as "any other recent determinations to temporarily reduce distribution of material pending fact-checker review and/or block and mark material as potentially unsafe."

Wake me when Sen. Graham actually does something that causes real discomfort to Democrats or Big Tech.

Linda is always on Hannity saying hearings will be held and people will be held accountable.

Yeah, sure.

Looks like the Senate GOP is rolling this issue all up into one day of CYA beltway theater. They’ve had 4 years to give us something of substance on this issue. Guaranteed that oneday won’t change a thing and the GOP will continue stuffing their pockets with Democrat Big Tech cash.

Graham is going to help uncover pedophilia in DC?—you can’t make up this stuff!

(I guess it is always better to have the wolf guard the hen-house...not!)

I did something this afternoon I swore years ago that I would never do: I voted for Graham. Well, actually I voted against his opponent. Trump cannot afford to lose the Senate when he is reelected. The race is tighter that it should be because Graham squandered the goodwill of conservatives a long time ago.

That’s his problem. Always considering but never does. Why has Hunter Biden not been subpoeaned yet by the Republicn senate committee. That one is a no brainer. Let him claim immunity and blow up his old man’s campaign.
