The Brief from WABE

The Brief for Tuesday, August 9th, 2022


Listen Later

Rudy Giuliani couldn't possibly make it to Atlanta today to chat with that special Fulton County Grand Jury because his heart condition prevented him from getting on a plane. So, a Fulton County judge, not wanting Giuliani to suffer a broken heart for missing that conversation, postponed his appearance 'til next week. And in a total, "Bless your heart!" momemnt, the judge said if he still can't get on a plane, they'll even sport him a bus ticket to get his rear to his second favorite city on Earth. (Can you imagine?!); Sen. Lindsey Graham's [R-SC] attorneys didn't even pull the doctor's note card, but instead just aruged that same U.S. Constitution thingy Trump is accused of trying to circumnavigate shields Graham from having to testify at all; and Georgia GOP officials (the same ones who re-drew districts that now dillute into oblivion any cohesive Black democratic voting block) tell a court, Naah, race has NOTHING to do with why it's impossible for Black people in Georgia to elect a fellow African-American to office. NOTHING. It's their fault, actually. Somehow. Just trust us. Oh, and will you please put the PSC race back on the ballot for November? You're the best!
