I understand Senator Graham, good ole Lindsey, takes issue with his subpoena from Georgia.

It is time for someone to show Senator Graham just how far south of "Broad" he really is.

Except they do listen to Mitch McConnell.

Of their number, the most worthy, in IMHO, was "drummed" out by weakness, rumors and innuendo. I refer, of course, to Sen. Franken of Minnesota (as well as his predecessor, Mr. Wellstone). Such an exclusive club of over-inflated self-promoting aristocrats. They could improve history but for their lack of vision and courage. If there were truly great men among them, the unworthy in their midst (those who would be Caesar), would have been slain in their sleep decades ago. There's just no spirit of self-sacrifice among these 21st century "worthies".

And NOTHING will change, until people are held accountable.

Which is why DOJ sure as shit better do something, otherwise there's a 100% chance bullshit like this will continue.

It will probably continue to some extent, regardless of what happens, but at least the fear of consequences might make some think twice in the future.

subpoena is not a birthday invitation..a subpoena is not a suggestion...it's demand letter..produce documents/phone records, show up and testify..Lindsey the weasel can take the 5th, lie, claim selective amnesia, or do his best Brett Kavanaugh snarling rage impression, that's up do him, but he will have to "honor" the subpoena or be held in contempt.

It's the under oath part that Lindsey and his loathsome "buddies" have a problem with...

I look forward to the owl-like countenance as his eyes widen in amazed recognition of his predicament.

"Truth? Tell the truth? Why, ah nevah in mah life bin' so insulted." whined the sallow Graham.

He’s claiming all Senators (at least) have some magical extraconstitutional get out of jail free card for the felonies they commit. He needs to be taught a lesson about his criminal behavior.
