A federal judge on Monday said U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham must testify before a special grand jury in Atlanta.

in Atlanta that is investigating whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke any laws while trying to overturn his narrow 2020 general election loss in the state.that his position as a U.S. senator provided him immunity from having to appear before the investigative panel and asked the judge to quash his subpoena. But U.S.

Prosecutors have indicated they want to ask Graham about phone calls they say he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks following the election. Graham also argued that Willis, a Democrat, had not demonstrated extraordinary circumstances necessary to compel testimony from a high-ranking official. But the judge disagreed, finding that Willis has shown “extraordinary circumstances and a special need” for Graham’s testimony on issues related to alleged attempt to influence or disrupt the election in Georgia.

During the calls cited by Willis, Graham “questioned Secretary Raffensperger and his staff about reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump,” Willis wrote in a petition.

It’s a real stretch to think that Lindsay Graham will tell the truth….he doesn’t know how to do that. Alarming to think he actually will!! what’s wrong Lindsay can’t hide behind DT skirt any more?

This has to happen to get to the truth about how the democrats padded the ballot boxes, and even have video of the crime. Georgia will be overturn their electoral, when all is said and done.

The Reckoning 🇺🇸🥳

NoOneIsAboveTheLaw and she knows it !

Watch this wk as Weisselberg, Trump's accountant, pleads guilty to tax evasion and goes to jail, yet our GOP disparages the FBI/DOJ. Our GOP's downfall lies in a strategy of cult worship, science denial, proselytizing, Save America, and Big Lie sedition:

Just do a Hillary Clinton and refuse.

Oh myyy Aunt Lindsey, if only the one true friend you’ve ever had, Senator John McCain, were still alive to comfort your fake tears. I suspect that John forgave your betrayal in his final days of life, even though your self-absorbed worship of Trump probably hastened his death.

He’ll probably screw up and BRING a fifth!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

How close are them walls feeling GramGram?

Let’s be sure to live steam it, will be a verbal beating by Lindsey with the hypocrite left

And now he's appealing. Next.

ASAP, I hope! 🤞🏼

BeverlyFolkers 'Oopsss!'

LG is f'td

😂😂😂😂 when you think your above the law!

That queen made a bad choice when he chose Trump as a replacement daddy for McCain. He's 'going to go through some things'.

This is just stage 1 of the Republican playbook. First drag it out claiming you don't have to testify. Then keep appealing. When finally forced to testify, take the Fifth.

Here's something you don't see every day: Lindsey Graham will be forced to tell the truth. Will wonders never cease? HuffPost forbes usatoday nbcnews voxdotcom NewYorker politico thedailybeast slate ozy reason TheWeek BreitbartNews FoxNews

You hear that Atlanta, Lindsey Graham coming to a Grindr near you

Will this be another 6 hours of 5th amendment?

These people refusing subpoenas need to be arrested

They should ask him for his GRINDR account ID

Graham on Trump: 'We will get destroyed and we will deserve it.' How prophetic of him. Go get your due, Linds.

👏

Lock all these traitors up!

Desperation. Libitards are too obvious.

If ever there was a sleaze bag worthless traitor, there’s your man, Lindsey Graham

Let's check in with me from the future, reporting back to us on what was said: Well, past me (or current you), Lindsey was short on words and long on repetition, uttering 'fifth' approximately all of the times.

Or what? Can we please hold this man accountable for his behavior? If he does not comply, he must be punished.

Will Graham show up and pull a Trump? (Stay tuned).....

Who is going to compel him? Republicans seem to think they're above the law.
