Graham seeks to quash grand jury subpoena in Trump Georgia probe
The Hill ^ | 07/13/22 3:55 PM ET | BY HARPER NEIDIG

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is asking a federal court to quash a grand jury subpoena for his testimony in the Fulton County district attorney’s investigation into former President Trump’s efforts to undermine Georgia’s election results.

Graham intends to ask a federal judge to quash the subpoena on the grounds that he cannot be compelled to testify because his conversations with state officials were part of his official conduct as a legislator, according to copies of the filings provided to The Hill by Graham’s lawyers.

“Senator Graham’s contact with Georgia officials referenced in the Certificate falls within the ‘legislative sphere’ because it was to gather information relevant to his oversight responsibilities as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and given his obligations under the Electoral Count Act of 1887,” the filing reads.

Forget it, Graham. Despite reality, you're a 'Republican', a perceived conservative. That means that any protections people in your position may reasonably expect to enjoy, are moot.

They can do anything they want to you, and some left-wing judge will pave the way.

And you know what? Your empty gas-bag promises about clamping down on abuses by the swamp and the alphabet agencies are in large part a reason that they can get away with it.

Good luck -- snort...

Paul Ryan & Lindsay need to go live on one of Epstein’s islands together.
