Fulton County DA(Rayshard Brooks) Runoff Election is getting really ugly

DA Paul Howard was on Rev Al's show yesterday, alleging that his democratic run off opponent is taking money from republicans to boost her campaign, and alleging that she is being supported by the police union.

His opponent is Fani Willis. She has accused him of charging the officers too quickly
In the interview linked below, she talks about DA Howard being under investigation for sexual harassment and fraud. She said there are tapes of the sexual harassment. If true- he should go. No doubt. She also brings up the case of Jamarion Robinson who was shot 75 times and why no charges brought in that case - but I am not clear that she would have charged in the Brooks case. It sometimes sounds as if she's straddling the fence - at least to me

Doug Collins has asked William Barr to investigate DA Howard for abuse of power for charging the officers (oh the irony of Barr investigating someone for abuse of power)

Runoff election is Aug 11

I just hope that the Rayshard Brooks case is allowed to go forward, no matter what happens.
