Sen. Graham must answer these questions/charges.

1) Is it a felony to ask somebody else to commit a felony?

All Lindsey did was call up Georgia's Sec. of State and ask if he could throw away votes from ...

... areas where black people voted. Or something like that. Willis has been on this since Feb. 2022

"Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will look into the call Graham made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger 10 days after the Nov. 3 election, the Post reported, citing an unnamed person familiar with the probe.

Graham, a Republican and a close Trump ally, asked Raffensperger whether he had the power to toss out all mail ballots in certain counties, Raffensperger has told the Post.

Raffensperger said Graham appeared to be asking him to improperly find a way to set aside legally cast ballots, according to the newspaper."

BTW Wasn’t Sen. Graham a judge advocate for the USAF so he must have know he was breaking the law in trying to change the outcome of an election by asking to throw out the votes from blacks in Fulton County?

*************


2) Senator Lindsey Graham will not comply with subpoena in Georgia election probe


Is Lindsey Graham's argument that he has some kind of privilege as a US Senator from S. Carolina to interfere with the vote count in Georgia so he doesn’t have to answer a grand jury’s subpoena moot? Because:

a) That kind of privilege don’t exist.

b) He was breaking the law at the time.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will challenge a grand jury subpoena seeking his testimony as part of an investigation into possible criminal interference in Georgia’s 2020 election by former President Donald Trump and his allies, the lawmaker’s attorneys said Wednesday,

Fulton County, Georgia, investigators have told them that Graham, an ally of Trump’s, is “neither a subject nor target of the investigation, simply a witness,” his attorneys said.

They claimed that if the subpoena to Graham is upheld, it will erode the constitutional balance of power and affect his ability to do his job as a member of Congress.

“This is all politics. Fulton County is engaged in a fishing expedition and working in concert with the January 6 Committee in Washington,” Graham’s lawyers, Bart Daniel and Matt Austin, said in a statement.

From where I sit Sen. Lindsey tried to get Georgia's Sec. of State to commit a felony by
throwing out the votes from black districts. Lindsey was Judge Advocate in the USAF he
knows he broke the law.

Just ban 'em. No need for civilians to own assault weapons. End of story.

There is no age @ which people should be able to legally buy and own assault weapons.

Quit fucking around and get rid of those killing machines now. And we don't need to listen to the
bought off gun humpers in the congress, state houses, or in the media talking about "the law
abiding people" who enjoy them. Enjoy them? Please! My simple mental health test is if you want
to own an assault then you automatically fail that mental health test. Lawn darts caused 1 or 2 fatalities
and they were banned and when I go deer hunting I am allowed only 3 shells in the gun plus I have to
have a hunting license too.


Both Australia and New Zealand banned assault weapons and that stopped mass shootings in those countries
and I am sure they have mental illness there too.

BTW why do I think the assault weapon used in Highland Park was bought legally in Indiana or Wisconsin?

Just ban the damn things. (I never said this would be easy or that I had all the answers.)

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill; A shooting that killed six people and wounded more than 36

This mentally ill mother fucker did not even do the right thing in the end which would have been to kill himself.
Edit .... I am not blaming the mental illness as much as I am blaming our system that lets people like
this buy assault weapons.



I bet ya he bought the assault rifle legally too. What part of "a well regulated militia" was he in?

Fuck the NRA!

ABC Jan 6 panel: More people turn up with evidence against Trump

Source: ABC

WASHINGTON -- More witnesses are coming forward with new details on the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot following former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's devastating testimony last week against former President Donald Trump, says a member of a House committee investigating the insurrection.

The panel already has subpoenaed former White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who investigators remain hopeful will appear Wednesday for a deposition, and said it would also welcome follow-up details from Secret Service members with Trump that day.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., cited Hutchinson's testimony that Trump wanted to join an angry mob of his supporters who marched on Jan. 6, 2021, to the Capitol, where they rioted, as particularly valuable in “inspiring” more people to step forward as the committee gets set for at least two public hearings this month.

“Every day we get new people that come forward and say, ‘Hey, I didn’t think maybe this piece of the story that I knew was important,’" he said Sunday. “There will be way more information and stay tuned.”

Happy Thoughts for the 4th

Everyday is a day that Justice Thomas is closer to his "dirt nap" or having to retire because of his health
or something to do with Ms. Ginni, Justice Roberts has some kind of organic brain disease, and Kavanaugh's
testimony @ his hearing is low hanging fruit.

BTW the upcoming fall will be pretty, home made potato salad is the bomb, and Trump's life is a living hell.

The SCOTUS has declared an open and if I dare say a fascist war on America & the democratic rule ...

... of this nation by legally elected people who reflect the will of the people.

What can be done?

Go after Kavanaugh for his lies under oath @ his hearings.

Thomas is old and maybe nature will win one "for all of us."

Chief Justice Roberts has some kind of organic brain disease ... epilepsy?

Expand the court.

Blue wave this Fall in 2022.

Today: The EPA can not regulate air pollution.
