Now that we have proof Lindsey Graham criminally tried to rig the presidential election, I’d love to know what Graham did to rig his own senate election. Jaime Harrison is calling on the post-Trump Department of Justice to criminally investigate Lindsey Graham. Good. While it was plausible that Graham won reelection, it was always suspect that Graham somehow won by ten points.

Whether it can be proved that Lindsey Graham criminally rigged his own reelection or not, the mere fact that he tried to rig the presidential election in Georgia should be enough to send him to prison. So will Graham seek a preemptive pardon from Trump on his way out the door? After all, a pardon is legally considered an admission of guilt. Could Graham really survive as a Senator after accepting that pardon?

Here’s the thing. Someone like Mitch McConnell is a seasoned career criminal and knows how to rig elections in ways that either aren’t technically illegal, or won’t get traced back to him. But Lindsey Graham is new at this whole “villain” thing, so perhaps it’s not surprising that he screwed up and got himself on the hook for potential felony charges. Graham has been in way over his head for a couple years now. It was always going to eventually end badly for him.
