But she won't be questioning him about speech or debate. She'll be questioning him about the phone calls he made to Georgia officials trying to get them to falsify the results of the 2020 election in that state.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday asked the Supreme Court to shield him from testifying in an investigation into former President Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election in Georgia.
Graham’s request comes a day after a lower appeals court refused to halt his testimony before a Fulton County, Ga., special grand jury.
[...]
In court papers filed Friday to Justice Clarence Thomas, who handles emergency matters arising from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, Graham urged the court to find that constitutional protections for lawmakers should prevent him from being forced to comply with a subpoena issued by District Attorney Fani Willis (D).
“Without a stay, Senator Lindsey Graham will soon be questioned by a local Georgia prosecutor and her ad hoc investigative body about his protected ‘Speech or Debate’ related to the 2020 election,” Graham’s lawyers wrote. “This will occur despite the Constitution’s command that Senators ‘shall not be questioned’ about ‘any Speech or Debate.’”
The Hill
Pretty sure Willis doesn't give a shit about Graham's own vote.Graham’s appeal concerns a federal judge’s ruling that the senator could avoid testifying only to the extent that it concerned calls he made to state election officials related to fact-finding for his own vote on certifying of the 2020 election — but that questioning could otherwise proceed.
Graham should also come under investigation by the DOJ for his part in the attempt to keep Trump in power illegally. He may already be.
Of all the assholes in the Republican party, I think Lindsey Graham might be the most despicable. At least he's the most pathetically hypocritical and slimey. Just a pile of bacterial-infected fecal matter.
