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."

When you repeatedly say you are going to do something and then do only about one percent of what you promised, you lose credibility. That is the case with Graham.
