    Georgia Senate panel ready to subpoena Fulton DA in probe of her conduct in Trump racketeering case

    Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Monday that she will not testify before a Georgia Senate committee investigating her on accusations of misconduct while pursuing a felony racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and his allies.

    On Monday, Willis announcing that she will not appear before the special investigative panel was in response to committee Chairman Bill Cowsert, an Athens Republican, stating last week that the Fulton DA would be subpoenaed if she refused to voluntarily testify.

    Willis cannot be sanctioned by the Senate committee, but it can issue subpoenas for her to turn over evidence and to testify under oath. Former Gov. Roy Barnes, who declined Willis’ offer to serve as special prosecutor in 2021 in the case against Trump,,

    On Monday, Willis questioned whether the special committee had the legal authority to compel her to testify.

    “I will not appear before anything that is unlawful and I have not broken the law in any way,” she said during a press conference where she was joined by Black religious leaders endorsing her reelection bid.

    GA Repubs, ever at the ready to protect the Don, is doing what it can to compromise Willis's prosecution of the MAGA god.

    Not to be outdone Gym Jordan, in an audition to become Trump's AG, is riding to Don's rescue by trying to smear the prosecution in the hush money case.

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding documents and information about the Biden Department of Justice's (DOJ) coordination with New York County District Attorney (DANY) Attorney Alvin Bragg and his politicized prosecution of President Donald J. Trump. Matthew Colangelo, a former senior DOJ official, is a lead prosecutor for Bragg and the case centers on testimony from a convicted felon who had been previously prosecuted by the Justice Department.
    https://judiciary.house.gov/media/p... Today, House,Alvin Bragg and his politicized

    These are plays right out of the Trumpian playbook. The judge in the Daniels case may have stifled Trump's efforts to continue smearing everyone in sight, but he has no control over Repub elected officials ability to abuse their authority in service of His Orangeness.

    Meanwhile on his social media platform a certain increasingly unhinged defendant in 4 criminal trials wrote........."ARREST DERANGED JACK SMITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL."

    You'll never guess how many congressional Repubs publicly condemned the open attack on the rule of law.

    When I began using the acronym POT for Party of Trump I did not imagine the transformation of the former GOP in to a party all consumed with their Dear Leader would be so complete. I've never been so wrong. Members are absolutely all in or they are jettisoned as unfaithful pariahs. It's been horrifying to watch.

    There is no evidence, none, that Trump has been unjustly charged or is being unjustly prosecuted. Faced with that reality his Repub defenders have decided the best course of action left to them is accuse the prosecutors of being unjust.

    It is another way they tug at the fabric of our constitutional republic's system of justice in an attempt to pull it apart in the eyes of the public. A goal not coincidentally shared by the world's autocracies. Especially the man responsible for the slaughter of thousands of human beings in Ukraine.

    Ironic how Trump is being charged with mishandling classified documents and now we learn Jack Smith has mishandled classified documents. The Trump haters just can't seem to get out of their own way. Hilarious! What a clown show.

    So this now becomes a clash of law, order and the Constitution versus Republicans and MAGA types using their political power and the privileges of their office to subvert due process ?

    Republicans and MAGA's want to vote on what is true and untrue ? How very Orwellian.

    And all to defend the Orange felon and , perhaps, preserve their political power. Disgusting doesn't even begin to cover it.

    But please, carry on.

    That kind of distraction, having nothing to do with the merits of the case, is exactly why GA Repubs are doing this.

    They accuse Dems of weaponizing the legal system against Trump even as they weaponize everything at their disposal to protect him.

    True that.

    This will be the MAGA legacy: due process and law and order co-opted by MAGA politicians to serve their political ends. Facts and truths subservient to who can get the most votes.

    Kind of frightening when you think about it.

    The case has no merits. It is a fraud case that had no victim. Nobody was defrauded.

    Let's not forget these congressional MAGAists have deluded constituents who like what their reps are doing. It's the folks like the couple down the street who you wave to who are being poisoned every day by RWM sources who lie to them with great skill and persuasiveness. So talented are they that millions of voters adore the most dangerous man in America.

    Awful presumptuous of her to assume she should have the same honor of being considered above the law as Trump enjoys from his supporters.

    You don't recognize such a thing as "Unjustice" if the name "Trump" is attached to it .. Ends justify the means for the cancel crowd .. Sure they believe in Equal Justice .. BUT .. only for things they agree with ... so forgive me for not accepting your "no evidence of injustice" claim at face value.

    This clown show with Stormy brings back memories of Monica Lewinsky -- how many inches of cigar slick Willy inserted into Monica's oval Orifice .. and requisite salacious details .. no respect for the right to privacy .. but when the witch hunt is hot and heavy .. we get to violate those rights .. principles of Justice . .. remove the limitations to Gov't power .. cause the evil Man committed adultery on his wife .. and enquiring minds want to know.

    and come on Lee --- You know darn well Trump was unjustly investigated - "prosecuted" and "Probed" .. "Violated" .. the special council learning that there was nothing to the Russia Russia accusations within the first two weeks .. and that the one who should be locked up for harming our electoral process is old Kankles .. Lock her UP .. dirty deeds done to Bernie .. the reason why she lost the election..

    Sorry you can’t write the truth.

    Actually, I’m not. It’s a basic marker for MAGA types.

    She's putting in a lot of hard work defending herself for someone who thinks that she's above the law.
