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."

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

See tag. That is all.

If anything constructive is done about Tweeter, FakeBook, et al., it will be due to Hawley, Cruz, and a few others.

Grahamnesty will do his usual grandstanding, but he will get nothing done on his own initiative.

“The race is tighter that it should be because Graham squandered the goodwill of conservatives a long time ago.”

You are 100% correct about that.

It’s a shame when the Repuke candidate is so bad, your motivation has to be to vote against the Dim and hold down your gag reflex to vote for the Repuke.
