Tonight. i think the answer as to why georgia, many different reasons fell into place and not insignificantly the recalcitrance she got from government officials who refused to cooperate with this lawful investigation into unlawful activity. remember, graham hired a lawyer to get him out of testifying, if you will recall. but i think both the voters and the juries are going to end up deciding this because the jury, if trump is indicted, the jury can say okay, we think he s guilty. and then he can run for president and he can be elected president of the united states. so it is not an either or situation that lindsey graham is portraying it as. everybody gets their shot at this and again, it was lindsey graham who do not want to cooperate with this investigation. we should note, laura, one of the things that we heard
