Dirty Laundry
Sen Lindsey Graham, R-S.C had questioned Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger about certain absentee ballots after the 2020 presidential election while former President Donald Trump charged that he lost the state due to fraud and wanted the results overturned.
The Fulton County grand jury subpoenaed Graham requesting he testify about those conversations. But the senator's attorneys, Bart Daniel and Matt Austin, wrote a joint letter charging Graham did nothing wrong and should not be compelled to testify.
Graham's lawyers said at the time Graham was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and was "well within his right to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections."
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Wednesday rejected Graham's argument that politics have anything to do with the grand jury investigation.
Sen Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said through his attorney this week he will challenge a subpoena to appear in front of a Fulton County grand jury in connection with efforts by former President Donald Trump to overturn the presidential voting results there during the 2020 election.
Donald Trump supporters who called in violent threats -- some of them drenched in religious rhetoric -- against Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), one of the only two Republicans serving on the Jan. 6 select committee.
The Illinois Republican released a recording of some of those threats, which also targeted Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), as the committee continues to build a case against the former president and his allies, and the "Morning Joe" host was disgusted callers claiming it was "God's will" that Trump's enemies should be harmed.
"How grotesque, unfortunately, this is how people are thinking these days. This twisted version, this Christian nationalism that has absolutely nothing to do with the words of Jesus Christ, contained in the gospels of Jesus Christ -- 'God's will?' That woman, and millions of others like her, find God's will in violence, in beating the hell out of police officers.
These people, these so-called Christian nationalists, they have nothing to do with Christianity. They find God's will in violence, in lies, in the desecration of the United States House, and the destruction of American democracy."
"Don't look for God in sin, you'll never find him there." Well, that's exactly where these people are, and it is a perverse, twisted anti-Christian view of the world, and I just wonder what Bible they're reading?
