Prosecutors Rip Apart Lindsey Graham's Refusal To Comply With Georgia Subpoenas

Lindsey Graham has decided that he will NOT be complying with a subpoena issued to him from the grand jury in Georgia, and former prosecutors and legal experts are ripping him apart over this decision. In addition to offering a faulty legal premise as to why he won't comply, the experts believe that he's actually more afraid of incriminating himself in the scheme. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Lindsey Graham has made it clear that he is absolutely not under any circumstances gonna comply with the subpoena issued to him by Fannie Willis's special grand jury in the state of Georgia and prosecutors, former prosecutors and legal experts are already out there. Trashing Lindsay Graham's decision as quite possibly. One of the dumbest things ever here is what Glenn Kirchner, former federal prosecutor had to say about Lindsay Graham refusing to comply with the subpoena. Why is Lindsay Graham so desperate not to be placed under oath by a Georgia state grand jury and have to testify about all that? Well, looks like we have to go back to the fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination because it sure looks like Lindsay went down to Georgia. He was looking for some votes to steal. He was in a bind because Trump was way behind and he was willing to make a deal.

So that's one theory put forth, of course, by a former prosecutor, Glenn Kirchner. He knows what he's talking about. He's done this for his entire life. So could be that Lindsay Graham is afraid of incriminating himself. Then of course you have former solicitor to general Neil Catal, who says, he says, referring to Lindsay Graham, this is all politics. Well, if it is all politics and you know, so much about the situation, Senator Graham, and you're so confident, there's nothing of substance, then I'm sure you're eager to go and testify before the grand jury and comply with the SEP, uh, with the subpoena. But of course he's not. He wants to try to block the subpoena. He's claiming it's some sort of separation of powers problem, which I guess is convincing if Lindsay Graham is trying to prove he has no business being on the Senate judiciary committee. So everybody's trash and Lindsay Graham for this idiotic decision and Lindsay Graham deserves it, right? His legal team is trying to argue that as a sitting Senator, he has some kind of limited immunity, uh, which doesn't really apply in this case because this is not actually a matter that Senator Lindsay Graham, a Senator from South Carolina, not from Georgia would have any reason to be involved in, right? The judiciary committee was not investigating this. They weren't looking into it. They weren't doing anything at all with it.

So what was Lindsay Graham's interest in this other than of course being Donald Trump's Lackey, making a phone call to his neighbor state saying, Hey, it sure would be great. If we could get a more favorable outcome was the phrase he used in the phone call that of course we have recordings of. And what's even funnier by the way about all of this with Lindsay Graham is that he's not a target of the investigation. They didn't subpoena him saying, come on in. We're gonna try to get you to self incriminate. It's like, Hey, you're a witness like you are with Trump. We want, we wanna know what you got. We

Wanna know what you said, what he said, what you were told to do. Just tell us, we're looking for information on this guy. Not on you, but Graham won't do it. And I am willing to bet that it's because Glen Kirchner is in fact, correct. And Graham is afraid that if he does go there, he could end up making himself a giant target of this grand jury.
