China Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 End Of The Rope: Lindsay Graham Ordered To Testify Before Georgia Grand Jury South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s efforts to avoid testifying before a Georgia grand jury hit a wall on Thursday after a judge once again denied his motion to squash the subpoena and ordered him to appear for testimony. The judge disagreed with graham’s claim that the calls he made to Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger and other officials were undertaken as part of his official legislative duty and protected by the Speech and Debate Clause. “The Court is unpersuaded by the breadth of Senator Graham’s argument and does not find that the Speech or Debate Clause completely prevents all questioning related to the calls,” District Court Judge Leigh Martin May ruled while agreeing to set some limits to the questions. The judge ruled that the senator could be questioned about efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s election loss and any contacts he had with the former president and his campaign. However, may agreed that Graham’s fact-finding efforts during those calls were protected and questions about those would be off-limits. “Senator Graham may be questioned about any alleged efforts to encourage Secretary Raffensperger or others to throw out ballots or otherwise alter Georgia’s election practices and procedures,” May wrote. “Likewise, the grand jury may inquire into Senator Graham’s alleged communications and coordination with the Trump Campaign and its post-election efforts in Georgia, as well as into Senator Graham’s public statements related to Georgia’s 2020 elections.” Read the Judge's Ruling Here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Quote The aforementioned criminal complaint says the underlying acts occurred July 26, 2022, and involved the use of the identities of two individuals. They are not named in the complaint, but Wait — the soon-to-be defendant — told Milwaukee ABC affiliate WISN-TV just three days after the alleged crimes that he ordered ballots in the names of Racine Mayor Cory Mason and Wisconsin State Rep. Robin Vos of Racine County, the speaker of the state assembly. Mason is a Democrat; Vos is a Republican. Wait described himself to WISN on July 29 as the president of H.O.T. Government, which the television station described as a “watchdog group.” The acronym, according to yellow and black signs positions behind Wait during the interview, stands for “honest,” “open,” and “transparent.” He heartily admitted on camera to requesting the ballots. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell a no-show for election probe grand jury A key figure in the investigation into possible criminal interference in Georgia’s 2020 election did not appear as scheduled to testify before the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. Sidney Powell, former attorney of former President Donald Trump, was scheduled to testify Thursday morning, but sources tell Channel 2 Action News that there may have been some confusion over the subpoena, and she apparently did not testify. It is unclear if there will be legal repercussions from her failure to appear. According to court records, the grand jury wants to ask Powell about her involvement in an incident that happened in South Georgia in January 2021. Video shows several people being let into the County Elections Office to download elections data from voting machines and an elections server. State investigators call it “criminal behavior” and say Sidney Powell paid for it all.

Cooked Crack Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Quote A Michigan poll worker in the Aug. 2 primary has been charged with tampering with an election computer at a voting precinct, a breach that those in charge of elections said highlighted the insider threats to the system’s integrity that have proliferated since the 2020 election. While state and local officials emphasized that the breach had no influence on the outcome of the primary election, they said that the equipment involved would no longer be used. The episode happened after the polls closed in Gaines Township, south of Grand Rapids, where a person saw a Republican-affiliated election worker insert a personal USB drive into a special computer known as an electronic poll book, the Kent County Clerk’s office said on Wednesday. Chris Becker, the county prosecutor, identified the poll worker as James Donald Holkeboer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Prosecutors argue Graham should have to testify before grand jury in Georgia 2020 investigation The Fulton County district attorney’s office is pushing back on Sen. Lindsey Graham’s ongoing efforts to quash a grand jury subpoena, saying his testimony is “essential” and could reveal more information about efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Graham, a South Carolina Republican, is asking the 11th Circuit US Court of Appeals to put on hold a lower federal court order that Graham must testify to the grand jury, with the questions limited in scope. The litigation over the subpoena has been on-going for months, with Graham initially moving to quash the motion in July. Prosecutors say that, after three failed attempts to quash his subpoena, Graham is repeating the same arguments. They are asking for the matter to be remanded back to a Fulton County Superior Court, which oversees the grand jury investigation. “The Senator’s position, which would allow him to dictate when and where he will be immune from questioning or liability, renders him precisely the sort of unaccountable ‘super-citizen’ which the United States Supreme Court has taken care to avoid,” the Fulton County district attorney’s office said in the court filing with the 11th Circuit on Friday. Graham has repeatedly denied accusations of applying any pressure to Georgia officials. Even if he were to lose this appeal, he signaled he would take the case to the Supreme Court. “I’ll go as far as I need to take it,” Graham told CNN last month. “I’m committed to standing up for the institution as I see it.” The 11th Circuit will rule on Graham’s emergency motion. The appeals court has set Tuesday as deadline for his legal team to file an opening brief on the merits of the appeal.

China Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Georgia prosecutor seeks testimony from Flynn and Gingrich in state election probe The Georgia prosecutor investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 election filed paperwork Friday seeking to compel testimony from a new batch of Trump allies, including former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed petitions in court seeking to have Gingrich and Flynn, as well as former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann and others, testify next month before a special grand jury that's been seated to aid her investigation. They join a string of other high-profile Trump allies and advisers who have been called to testify in the probe. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and Trump attorney who's been told he could face criminal charges in the probe, testified in August. Attorneys John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro have also appeared before the panel. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham's attempt to fight his subpoena is pending in a federal appeals court. And paperwork has been filed seeking testimony from others, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

China Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Former White House aide cooperating with investigation of Trump effort to overturn election results An Atlanta-area prosecutor investigating Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to overturn the 2020 election has secured cooperation from former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. Hutchinson, whose cooperation has not previously been reported, became a prominent witness during a summer hearing for the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill insurrection. The former top aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows could offer Georgia prosecutors insights about what she witnessed in the West Wing, as well as steps her former boss took specifically when it came to Georgia. Prosecutors have called for Meadows to testify before the special grand jury, but they are still working to secure his testimony. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for late October. Meadows was among the participants on the January 2021 call between Trump and Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, and Meadows also made a surprise visit to a Cobb County location in December 2020, where officials were conducting an absentee ballot signature audit. Hutchinson has also been cooperating with the Justice Department, which also faces a pre-election quiet period, in its criminal investigation into efforts to subvert the 2020 election.

China Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Appeals court: Graham must testify in Georgia election probe U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham must testify before a special grand jury investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia, a federal appeals court said Thursday. The ruling by a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals paves the way for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to bring Graham in for questioning. She wants to ask the South Carolina Republican about phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in the weeks after the election. Raffensperger said Graham asked whether he had the power to reject certain absentee ballots, something Raffensperger took as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes. Graham has dismissed that interpretation as “ridiculous.” Graham could appeal the ruling to the full appellate court. An attorney for Graham deferred comment Thursday to a spokesperson for the senator’s office, which did not immediately comment on the ruling. Graham had challenged his subpoena, saying his position as a U.S. senator protected him from having to testify in the state investigation. He has also denied wrongdoing. In a six-page order, the judges wrote that Graham “has failed to demonstrate that this approach will violate his rights under the Speech and Debate Clause.” Click on the link for the full article We know Graham will appeal as far as he can because he's a cowardly **** who knows he's guilty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 As expected, Graham appealing to the Supreme Court. Sen. Lindsey Graham asks Supreme Court to block subpoena in criminal probe of 2020 election Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked the Supreme Court on Friday to halt a subpoena compelling him to testify in a Georgia county prosecutor’s criminal probe of potential interference in the 2020 election. Graham’s request comes a day after a federal appeals court ordered him to testify in the grand jury investigation that has already ensnared Trump allies such as Rudy Giuliani. On Thursday, the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals shot down his arguments that he didn't have to answer questions about two phone calls he made to Georgia election officials after the 2020 election because his actions were protected under the U.S. Constitution’s speech and debate clause. In a 33-page application sent to Justice Clarence Thomas, who handles emergency requests from the 11th Circuit, Graham's lawyers on Friday asked for an immediate emergency stay. "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," the filing says. It argues that the court needs to step in or else Graham's "constitutional immunities will be lost, and his statutorily guaranteed appeal mooted, the moment the local Georgia prosecutor questions him."

China Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Looks like somebody saw how Graham got a temporary stay from Justice Thomas and is gonna try the same playbook: Former Trump aide Mark Meadows asks South Carolina judge to block Georgia grand jury subpoena in election-meddling probe Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows asked a South Carolina judge to block a subpoena demanding his testimony before a Georgia grand jury investigating possible criminal interference in the 2020 presidential election. Meadows’ request Monday afternoon came hours after U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas temporarily delayed a similar subpoena that the same grand jury issued to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. The grand jury is probing former President Donald Trump and others for possible crimes related to efforts to get Georgia election officials to effectively reverse President Joe Biden’s victory in the state’s 2020 race. Meadows was on the phone during a January 2021 call when Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” Trump enough votes to win the state. A spokesman for the district attorney’s office in Georgia’s Fulton County, which is overseeing evidence presented to the grand jury, said a prosecutor from that office will address Meadows’ effort during a hearing Wednesday in Pickens County court in South Carolina.

China Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Georgia DA urges Supreme Court to allow Graham testimony The Georgia prosecutor investigating possible illegal election interference in the 2020 election said Thursday that the Supreme Court should not stand in the way of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham's testimony to a grand jury. In a filing with the high court, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said the justices should reject Graham’s plea that they block his testimony while he continues to appeal the order to appear before a special grand jury. The panel is investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in the state. Justice Clarence Thomas issued a temporary stay of the testimony while the court more fully considers the issue. Thomas acted on his own as the justice who handles emergency appeals from Georgia. But the entire court is expected to weigh in. Graham has argued he is shielded from the questioning by a constitutional provision, the speech and debate clause. Willis said lower courts already have modified the subpoena issued to Graham to foreclose questioning about protected legislative activity, including questioning on any topics related to individual investigation by the Senator into election wrongdoing in Georgia, while allowing questioning only on topics outside the boundaries of legislative activity. Graham's testimony, originally sought for late August, has been rescheduled to Nov. 17, according to a new subpoena that was attached to his Supreme Court filing.

China Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Lindsey Graham Once Again Urges SCOTUS to Throw a Wrench in Fulton County DA’s Election Probe, Claims He ‘Shall Not Be Questioned’ Attorneys for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday submitted a reply brief in a U.S. Supreme Court case which seeks to excuse him from testifying about his telephone calls surrounding the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. “The importance of this case comes not so much in the underlying events — Senator Graham’s phone-call investigation into Georgia’s election process in the leadup to his vote under the Electoral Count Act certifying President Biden’s election,” the reply begins. “The importance comes instead in the separation-of-powers, federalism, and institutional interests that will be harmed without adjudication if the District Attorney’s state-court inquisition goes forward without the chance for full appellate review.” The 23-page reply is the final document necessary for the Supreme Court to issue a ruling on the matter. “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,” the original Oct. 21 application reads. “This will occur despite the Constitution’s command that Senators ‘shall not be questioned’ about ‘any Speech or Debate.’ U.S. Const. art. I, § 6, cl. 1. It will occur in state court, without the consent of the federal government. And it will undisputedly center on Senator Graham’s official acts — phone calls he made in the course of his official work, in the leadup to the critical vote under the Electoral Count Act.” In the reply brief, Graham reiterated the argument that he “shall not be questioned”: Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
