It’s looking more and more like antigay Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina might be in a world of trouble after allegedly meddling in Georgia’s election last month.
A former U.S. attorney has just called on the Georgia Board of Elections to investigate whether Graham pressured Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger into tossing votes for Biden.
Quick recap: The Washington Post reported last month that Graham personally called Raffensperger to ask him if there was a way to have legally cast mail-in ballots thrown out in certain (read: Democratic-leaning) counties.
The allegations were first made by Raffensperger, who is a Republican, and later corroborated by Gabriel Sterling, an election implementation manager who was also on the call.
How about we take this to the next level?

In a letter sent this week, former U.S. attorney and Democratic state legislator Michael J. Moore called on the board to look into whether Donald Trump‘s lap dog violated the law.
Wrote Moore:
I am particularly concerned that the chairman of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee would make any attempt to interfere with the Georgia Secretary of State as he endeavored to lawfully perform his constitutional duties in overseeing the 2020 election and the counting, and re-counting, of the votes cast in the state of Georgia.
Moore also asked the board to look into whether Graham has tried get legally cast ballots in Georgia’s January 5 runoff election discarded as well.
The letter comes shortly after three lawyers requested the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee investigate whether the homophobic senator committed any ethics violations by calling Raffensperger.
“For the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee to suggest to a state Secretary of State that he refrain from counting lawful votes threatens the electoral process and damages representative democracy,” the complaint, filed last month, read.
For his part, Graham has called the allegations against him “ridiculous” and insisted he was merely trying to “protect the integrity of mail-in voting,” which is an issue he’s never expressed any concern about in previous elections.

Trump has set the precedent for presidents to pardon any criminals who are on his side.
I’m sure Biden won’t do it but the next trumplican who gets into office will use and abuse the pardon power.

Graham’s problem is, he meddled in state elections. So their AGs can go after him.

Interfering in Georgia’s election is not something Orange Foolius can issue a pardon for…

Pres cannot pardon for state crimes

Only state’s governor can commute / pardon state crimes/offenses. Gov. Cuomo isn’t a fan of Donald Trump as Trump dissed the Gov. Because Trump moved his official residence to Florida doesn’t get h DT out of the NY Grand Jurys targets. DT and family members changed the DC swamp into a cesspool of corruption, un-American and treasonous activities. Hope our new Pres.-elect does the right thing and press charges against all the wrong doing, no matter what the party affiliation. Gen Flynn probably has other charges he can be indicted on too and this time no “Get out of Jail” card. Trumps kept the WH from displaying the Rainbow colors because of the religious bigots.

Wanna bet he’ll get a presidential pardon, too?

Pres cannot pardon for state crimes, only federal

It would be awesome if this ended up being the end of Lyin’ Lindsay. Another fracking Repukian who got drunk with power and overstepped his authority.
We need to oust people like him and Moscow Mitch from both sides of the aisle.
Unfortunately, I fear nothing will come of this. If it is looked into the end result will be no prosecution. They will either outright clear him or say he walked up to the line but didn’t cross it. C’mon we know how power in this country works. I am keeping my fingers crossed that won’t happen.

There’s been a rumor going around that Lindsey Graham has been having an affair with a male cadet from the Citadel.

Just the one?

The rumors in DC are that he likes to ‘dress up’ and be used ‘aggressively.’ Such a scene, if real would earn more money than the legendary ‘P’ tapes involving T.

Ms Graham might like prison. Now she can drop the soap willingly and cry that ppl are out to get him while enjoying getting plowed in jail. It’s a win win for everyone, even this closeted m0ron

Lindsey Graham is a squirrely little shit. His intended interference in the Georgia election should be his Waterloo. Why was he more concerned about GA than NC or TX? This hypocritical servile Trumpster needs to prosecuted to the fullest – no ifs and buts. If he gets a presidential pardon that’s an indictment in itself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t need a pardon. Lindsey begone!

Pres cannot pardon the senatrice for state crimes….really

Not even the fall of P*TAB*TCHMoscowMitch would please me more than for Leningrad LindseyC*NT to end her stinking corrupt vile little life in jail.

I hope that pearl-clutching, lady bug queen, prissy old south MISS QUEEN goes down in palmetto tree flames.

My name is Senator John McCain and I died for Lindsey Graham. Ok, I didn’t die for him. I died because being dead was preferable than maintaining a friendship with this two faced, hooker-hiring, high heel wearing hustler magnet.

Is there anyone more strange than Light-In-The-Loafers Lindsey Graham?

Guilty,
I just know there are skeletons in his closet. Lock him up 😛

Nothing will come out of this, of course, as long as Trump is POTUS.

I say, let all the marijuana convictions out of prison, and lock up the entire GOP. We need to make room for the real criminals. We have to take a long hard look at our country, where this woman could get reelected after all the lies and hypocrisy. He is the worst of the worst, even worse than Trump.

Maybe lifelong bachelor Lindsey Graham could ask fellow homophobic former senator Larry “Airport Bathroom” Craig for his lawyer’s name? Just an idea, Lindsey.
