A #Republican-led effort to reprimand DA #FaniWillis after she brought charges against #Trump in #FultonCounty #Georgia is poised to expand, as state & federal lawmakers pursue new efforts to sanction the prosecutor.
State Senate Majority Leader Steve #Gooch said in an interview that #Republican leaders could hold legislative hearings into whether #Willis is using “her position in a political manner” after accusing #Trump & his allies of a complex #conspiracy.
Gooch also told The AJC that he sees #SenateBill92, a new #law that empowers a state panel to investigate & oust wayward prosecutors, as a powerful “tool in the toolbox” that Trump’s allies can deploy to delve into Willis’ use of public resources.
“We believe she is definitely tainted,” #Gooch said. “She’s politicizing this, & we want to make sure these people get a fair trial & a fair shake.”
The two initiatives are part of a broader effort by #Trump’s allies at the #Georgia Capitol & the U.S. #Congress to punish #Willis over the 51-count #indictment, which accuses Trump & 18 co-defendants of a sprawling “#criminal enterprise” to reverse his 2020 defeat.
US Rep #AndrewClyde wants to use an upcoming #appropriations bill to slash #federal #funding for #Willis, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg & federal #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith. Each is a top #prosecutor in 1 of the 4 cases #Trump is currently facing.
And U.S. Rep. #MarjorieTaylorGreene is among the #GOP members who urged the House #Judiciary Committee to launch an investigation into how much her office receives in federal $ & whether it has interacted w/ WH ofcls.
(The real #WeaponizationOfGovernment)
@Nonilex Crooked as hell.
