insulting. rather, we refer to him as mr. graham it to make clear that we do not agree with opposing counsel s assertion that mr. graham was operating in his official capacity when he called the georgia secretary of state related to the georgia vote count. there is a sort of fundamental issue here, the faulty fulton county da s office say these are the individuals who were subpoenaed like any other, they don t get any special claims? , yeah exactly. you know, the da is arguing, just because you re a member of congress, it doesn t mean you ve got to do potentially illegal acts, for example, calling up the secretary of state of georgia, asking him if he has the power to toss legally cast absentee ballots. and then, there s the question of jurisdiction, especially when you have senator graham, at a time when he called brad raffensperger, he was chairman of the senate judiciary committee, which has a very wide jurisdiction. he s making the argument that falls we early, with his duties at
he s an especially important witness. as you re suggesting, jim, there is an active criminal investigation in fulton county, which is atlanta, being conducted about whether the president the former president, trump, violated georgia criminal election law in attempting to get the georgia vote overturned. i think many people remember the infamous phone call on tape where president trump is essentially demanding the secretary of state to find him votes to win the to win georgia. the testimony of the u.s. attorney will be another side of that georgia story, which is both a subject of the congressional hearing but also the criminal investigation in fulton county. yeah, and you mentioned bill stepian, he was the 2020
candid picture of the former president s lack of he guard for our our institutions. bill barr was there, though, harry littman for the walk-up to the investigation and bill barr went on cnn to talk about voter fraud before there was vote are fraud, before it had actually want. he asked his supporters to vote not once, but twice. and he leaves over something and i won t quote, employ and bill barr wasn t willing to use voter fraud before the election and
vote so closely, so we re going to spearhead a more aggressive investigation into can tol security and potentially even subpoena nancy speaker, nancy pelosi, along with her staff to find out more information, but this revelation pokes holes and shreds a lot of credibility if the republicans had anything to begin with and laudermilk who claims to have reviewed this footage lims led one of these tours in the lead-up to january 6th and it also shows, i think, the extensive amount of evidence that they ve collected and they seem to be checking off the boxes to make sure they give lawmakers again the opportunity to respond to this evidence which at this point seems irrefutable especially if they have it in video form. harry, i feel like this letter is telling us two things.
think it s inarguable that toxic, racist ideas often have consequences and they are fatal consequences. so this vote yesterday on the domestic terrorism legislation was fascinating to me this same or pretty much the same piece of legislation was passed unanimously by voice vote in 2020, so what s happened? what s changed? why would the republican party make it a party line vote to say, we are not going to take domestic terrorism more seriously? and you mentioned, you know, the focus on homeland security, and i remember you, i remember this very, very well, when democrats blocked the department of homeland security, that became a major issue in the 2002 midterm elections, and this ought to be a major issue. are we going to confront domestic terrorism? and take that to the republicans, because this is the weak spot that, in fact, this is
