Georgia's Kemp Says Trump Prosecutor Is Trying to Hurt His Campaign

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- Georgia Governor Brian Kemp accused Fani Willis, the Fulton County prosecutor investigating former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss, of using the probe to hurt his re-election campaign.

In a legal filing late Wednesday, Kemp’s attorneys revealed for the first time that the Republican governor didn’t voluntarily testify to a special grand jury by video in late July as planned. Instead, they said, Kemp was subpoenaed on Aug. 4 and had been scheduled to appear before the grand jury in person Thursday, a day after former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani showed up in Atlanta to testify.

But now Kemp’s appearance is on hold, awaiting an Aug. 25 hearing on the governor’s motion to quash the subpoena.

In the filing, Kemp’s legal team said Willis’s office had “repeatedly and explicitly tethered its desire to obtain information from the governor to the timing of the November election,” and had rebuffed requests to have Kemp testify either far in advance of the upcoming gubernatorial election or after it. Kemp faces Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams on Nov. 8.

1. Gee, I don't know what Kemp's whining about.

All his campaign has to do is use a slogan like "Kemp didn't give Trump his one more vote."

2. To Be A Citizen Telling The Truth Under Oath Hurts His Campaign, Sir?

What a world he must live in....

3. Yes, dear. It's all about you.

Never mind that the investigation involves a former president trying to overthrow a national election, and that a lot of the timing has been pushed back because certain people keeping dragging their feet rather than honoring subpoenas in a timely manner.

The whole thing is just a smokescreen for inconveniencing you in your quest to keep a governorship that you didn't honestly win in the first place. Bless your heart.
