Georgia Republicans Are Trying to Change the Rules for Fani Willis's Prosecution of Donald Trump for

ELURA NANOS Feb 16th, 2021, 10:53 am

It’s been less than a week since Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis publicly began an investigation into Donald Trump‘s phone call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Georgia Republicans are already trying in earnest to change the rules that apply to prosecutions of election crimes.

Georgia state Republicans introduced a resolution Thursday that seeks to change the Georgia State Constitution to mandate the use of state-wide grand juries in prosecutions involving election crimes. The move would force prosecutors to draw more grand jurors from predominantly Republican rural areas of the state.

Per the bill’s text:

If this doesn't sound as illegal as the act they are attempting to cover-up and de-rail the prosecution of itself. Georgia shuck the yoke of evil Republican State Reps and Senate persons, they are unconscionably unjust to the majority!
