More DA Fani Willis's Probe Into Fake Electors Ramps Up, the More the Georgia GOP Tries to Block her
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s investigation into election inference in Georgia is picking up speed. A legal filing from the DA’s office showed that they are trying to obtain and execute a series of search warrants based on unnamed “sensitive information acquired during the investigation,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. There is no mention of who these search warrants are for or what information Wills’s office is seeking out.
Another filing showed Willis’s office is trying to disqualify a pair of attorneys, namely Holly A. Pierson and Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow, who represent the 11 Republicans who falsely purported to be Georgia’s presidential electors. Specifically, the document states that if these attorneys are allowed to stay on the case, “there is a serious possibility of future ethical problems concerning the confidentiality of information obtained in the course of their representation thus far.”
Pierson and Debrow said in a joint statement that any suggestion that they had violated their professional duties “is false and defamatory.” However, it is interesting to note that Pierson and Debrow filed motions to disqualify Willis from the entire investigation back in July because she held a fundraiser for Republican state Sen. Burt Jones’s Democratic opponent Charlie Bailey.
Wills expanded on her reasoning for the legal filings in an interview with Yahoo News.
