Six hours? Lame. Hillary testified eleven hours over a nothingburger.

That is about the right period of time if your answer to every question is to take the 5th. If you don't believe me, just ask Donald Trump.

And what does Lindsay Graham have to hide? Or Gov Kemp? Even if there is something to their claims they don't have to spill their guts, why not just do it anyway? Lindsay will tell you he is as pristine as fresh snow when it existed before pollution and global warming.  And he can prove that to the world by telling all.

Especially Kemp who supposedly has all this rational, sane moderate hero credibility now. You'd think him being transparent in a deposition would help him in his re-election and really reinforce that apparent image he has. Abrams has an opening here if she plays it well.

A quick reminder as brtd pointed out when I fret it over this possibility, under Georgia law the governor does not have the power to pardon.

I am getting impatient with Garland he raided Trump home and then gave him back his passport, the Rs are right we need an explanation into what is Garland doing if Rs take over the H they're gonna investigate him anyways.

I never was a fan of Garland, we know he hasn't investigate the insurrection commission like he should have but this raid its no grand jury empaneled or Crt filings or anything yet

Appeals court temporarily pauses order requiring Graham to appear before Atlanta-area grand jury

A federal appeals court on Sunday temporarily paused a district court's order requiring that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina appear before a grand jury probing plots to illegally influence the 2020 election results in Georgia.

The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals sent the proceedings around the Fulton County grand jury subpoena back to the district court judge with the instruction that the judge consider whether the subpoena should be partially quashed or modified in accordance with the Constitution's speech and debate clause.

The constitutional provision shields lawmakers from certain law enforcement actions in some scenarios. Graham had pointed to it in his challenge to the subpoena, which demanded he testify on Tuesday in front of the special grand jury in Fulton County in the Atlanta area.

The appeals court panel -- made up of Circuit Judges Charles Wilson, Kevin Newsom and Britt Grant -- said in its order that the district court could expedite the briefing around modifying the subpoena in a manner that the judge "deems appropriate." The appeals court said that after that question is resolved, the matter will return back before the appeals court for further consideration.

I wonder at what point these people get a wake-up call, or if they’ll only see themselves as victims

Sidney Powell is my favorite. Even better than Rudy, although Rudy is good. I hope I can listen to her "testimony" once again.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Here's one that will be at least as good as Powell:

Well, as we all know, if you're in Georgia and the Devil is after you, all you need to do is win a fiddling duel. Really simple, honestly.

I have nothing but respect for the United States Marine Corps. You know them. There is one reliable means of dealing with Marines on the battlefield.

Raise both arms, drop all weapons, and surrender. POW status is better than death.

Mess with the best, and die like the rest!

Thomas Webster desecrated a Marine Corps banner by using it as a weapon in the Capitol Putsch.

It's times like this that I really wish we could get some Bronz analysis of the political implications for Democrats of a Trump-supporting former NYPD officer assaulting an MPD officer at the Capitol.

Maybe there will be a Trump indictment this year after all.
