Georgia Republicans in the Legislature are making moves against compromised Trump prosecutor Fani Willis. The Senate is in the process of forming an investigatory committee to see if Willis committed abuses of power.
The Willis controversy began when it was discovered that she had hired her married alleged lover as the special prosecutor. Not only does it reflect poorly on her character, but also shows a major conflict of interest. Fox News says:
Georgia’s GOP-controlled Senate on Friday voted to form a special committee to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis amid revelations she had an ‘improper’ affair with subordinate counsel.
The special committee would have subpoena power to investigate Willis over allegations she hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade for the case because of their alleged romantic relationship.
In addition to the Senate’s special committee, the State House is looking to impeach Willis. This would fully remove her from power in Fulton County, and could open her up for future criminal charges as well from the State Attorney General. Newsmax reports:
Georgia state GOP Rep. Charlice Byrd on Friday introduced a resolution to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis following allegations of misconduct.
Byrd, in a press release, cited the allegations against Willis and accused her of using her official position for political gain and questioning whether there was a conflict of interest when she hired prosecutor Nathan Wade, who Byrd describes as a “potential paramour” of Willis’ – accusations which an attorney for former President Donald Trump’s aide Mike Roman first made.
Whether Willis is removed or not, Donald Trump’s case is looking much brighter. Even if the charges are not dropped, there is a good chance a judge or the jury would at least find the process flawed which would dismiss the charges.
