1. Let me know when someone finally arrests Graham

Because, they know that nothing will be done.

[triron]

4. Yep. Talk is cheap, Weissman.

[Sherman A1]

13. Agreed

And it is very unfortunate such is the case.

[quakerboy]

43. Yup

Not gonna happen under the watch of captain corruption.
And not gonna happen under the watch of Mr getalong.

[soothsayer]

2. Lock him up!

[TheBlackAdder]

45. If his action is outside the scope of senatorial duties is he protected or is he a private citizen?

.

If you are a senator and get in a car accident at home, I do not think you are protected.

Does Graham fall under the same legal jeopardy, where GA can arrest him?

.

3. With all due respect, Mr. Weissmann

it's too bad you can now recognize felonies when you couldn't while working with Robert Mueller (aka "Bobby 3 Sticks" ).

[gab13by13]

21. Weissmann was the one prosecutor

who wanted to push further but was overruled.

[DonaldsRump]

37. At least he wrote his book that way.

The entire Mueller team, including Weissmann, were cowards. They were more afraid about losing their jobs than getting at the truth.

If he was so bothered by being overruled, he should have resigned and explained why.

5. K&R

[rso]

6. Graham

It would have been helpful for Raffensberger to record the conversation.

[Duppers]

34. Staffers were on the line listening

Which would be most helpful in court. Hoping it comes to that and that Biden's DOJ doesn't just "move on." What good are laws if not equally applied?!

7. the republicans have been flouting

their ability to break the law for the last 4years. There will be no investigation, of this racist POS calling himself a senator, for committing this felony.

[usaf-vet]

14. Apparently it may continue. There are two sets of laws. Us and THEM.

This is not a good sign IMO

[llashram]

16. yep

[FakeNoose]

36. When Chump is gone it will be another story

No more presidential pardon for RWNJ stooges.

I'm pretty sure Joe Biden will be very careful with the pardon privilege, once he's in the White House. He's aware of how much it has been abused in the last 4 years. I hope new restrictions are set for the presidential pardon so that no a-hole can ever abuse it again.

[SoonerPride]

48. Some animals are more equal than others.

[lastlib]

51. How does slime get so much equality?

[ooky]

8. It's okay in the Fascist world though.

[CrispyQ]

9. And who's going to do anything about it?

So far, these guys have gotten away with everything.

[KS Toronado]

19. Nobody, until we have a Biden DOJ.

[Turin_C3PO]

29. Give Biden a chance.

Dems can't do anything until we take power in January.

[KPN]

10. But don't you know, felonies don't matter anymore -- unless you are black, poor, an addict or

substance abuser, or lack resources and connections. Because "Make America Great Again"!

[flibbitygiblets]

11. or a democrat /nt

[KPN]

12. Oh yeah, there's that.

[TryLogic]

15. Do more than "call it"

[aggiesal]

17. We in the Democratic world, just call this ...

just another (R) doing (R) things.
Straight out of the (R) Standard Operating Procedure manual.

[RainCaster]

18. In other words, Tuesday

Just another day for any (R)

[aggiesal]

22. GOP Government of PutIn ...

as in bend over.

There, I fixed it.

[barbtries]

20. of course as we all know,

laws are only for other people. they obey the law, we USE it.

[gab13by13]

23. Can't even write a stern letter,

or censure him with Mitch and Barr in charge. Trump can always pardon him, there are lots of outs.

[ananda]

24. Walks like a traitor, quacks like a traitor...

That's our Russian asset.

And he's not alone...

[calimary]

25. No kidding.

Trumpski.

[flying_wahini]

26. Just wait and see. I think there is a day of retribution coming for the GOP.

And MVP Harris will not flinch.

[Wednesdays]

27. IOKIYAR!

Doesn't anybody learn?

[Sneederbunk]

33. At least until January 20.

[ffr]

28. Your Honor, my defense is that I regularly engage in federal election tampering, so it is OK.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. Funny.

That's what we outside the legal world call it, too.

[speaknow]

31. Maybe now

we know how Graham got re- elected in
So Carolina. Must've used his procedure.
They should look into how many were tossed
there.

[Javaman]

32. just add asshole graham to the pile of other repuke felon's that have never been held accountable

or have actually served any time.

just another brick in the wall.

[Mike 03]

35. Hell of a Tweet!

Especially considering the source.

[soldierant]

38. Common Cause has a petition up

to investigate him
https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/investigate-lindsey-graham-tried-to-toss-ga-ballots

which sounds lame, but does really have to come first.

[TrollBuster9090]

39. Weissman Would Make An Ideal SPECIAL PROSECUTOR For The Trump Administration Crimes Commission.

...JUST SAYIN'...

[triron]

40. will there be a Crimes Commision? I sure hope so.

[Hekate]

41. Well spotted, Mr Weissman

[ecstatic]

42. Is anyone going to do something? Who holds jurisdiction here??

Get the warrants and get moving on this crime, dammit!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

44. Perhaps when the DoJ is rebuilt from the ashes of Barr's Dirt Services, it will be a felony again.

[bluecollar2]

46. A republican felon?

Let me know why that's news?

(Do I need to put the sarcasm emoji in)

[Blue Owl]

47. K&R

[Cha]

49. Rt, TY!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

50. Looks like Lindsey Graham made a big mistake to please his boss.

Foolish.
