Georgia GOP Gears Up to Remove Atlanta Prosecutor Who Indicted Donald Trump
A little over a week after a prosecutor in Georgia indicted former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 presidential election, Republicans said they will use a new law to remove her from office.
In May, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the law that created a new commission of political appointees with the power to remove and discipline elected prosecutors over decisions or policies not to prosecute certain offenses. The law seeks to limit or restrict reform-minded prosecutors. In the case of Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — though, District Attorney Fani Willis is not even known as much of a reformer. Instead, Republican lawmakers set their sights on Willis for another reason: prosecuting the wrong person.
Yes they are. Kemp seems to have had all sorts of tricks up his sleeve to suppress voters. This "no you can't prosecute our people" committee is no great surprise to me.
The GOP will stop at nothing to ensure they can do whatever the fuck they want. Across the board in every way they can imagine they threaten to further degrade and eventually destroy democracy. For them, Russia is a model of what they're going for.
When does the whole second amendment kick in and people start using it to defend against authoritarian governments?
Because there's not a gravy seal out there with the balls to stand up to actual, trained soldiers.
But it's not soldiers. It's just a bunch of greasy politicians.
Well, you see, it's only when the /right/ people need to use it against the /wrong/ people... /s
