Graham gets a breather

An appeals court has granted a temporary stay of an order that forced Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to appear before a Fulton County, Ga., grand jury.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Sunday it wanted both sides to argue what areas of questioning would be appropriate for a sitting U.S. senator. Graham has said his position protects him from having to testify.

Graham has argued that the calls were part of his duties as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and his legal team says that his position in Congress protects him from appearing before the grand jury.

Bullshit. In no way was it part of his duties.  Also, holding national office should not protect you from criminal prosecution; and therefore, from testifying to a grand jury.

This comes after Graham formally appealed last week a judge's order that he testify before the grand jury investigating whether former president Donald Trump and others illegally sought to overturn the election results in Georgia.

Prosecutors want Graham to testify about his phone calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff.

And so do Americans in favor of democracy.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
