Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis accused House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of trying to obstruct her prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis tore into House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday in a searing letter accusing the Ohio Republican of trying to obstruct her criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
“There is no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter, as you attempt to do,” Willis wrote in the nine-page retort to Jordan, whose committee last month launched a probe into the district attorney’s prosecution of Trump.
“Here is another reality you must face: Those who wish to avoid felony charges in Fulton County, Georgia — including violations of Georgia RICO law — should not commit felonies in Fulton County, Georgia,” Willis wrote.
I read it on your good recommendation. Was not disappointed. That woman is fire! She even ends it with recommendations for congress on broader issues related to the justice system they could be working on. 10/10, no notes.
A shame Jim Jordan, or any of the Republican shit heads, won't read it. Same with the Muller report, the one that did read it reacted with "holy shit you guys should read this, it's really bad"and then radio silence.
"States' rights" never meant "state's right to do their own thing without federal interference" anyhow.
It meant "slave states' right to receive the compelled assistance of non-slave states in enforcing slavery."
The states who wanted to just do their own thing were the Northern states, who had no interest in enforcing slavery by returning black folks to the South. They were not allowed to do their own thing; the federal government sent US Marshals into states like Pennsylvania and New York to compel their state governments to participate in slavery.
Lincoln didn't plan to free the slaves; he didn't think he had the authority to do so, except as a wartime measure. However, he did intend to stop the practice of compelling the North to participate in slavery. And that's why the South seceded when Lincoln was elected.
“Your letter offends each and every one of these settled principles. Its obvious purposes is to obstruct a Georgia criminal proceeding and to advance outrageous partisan misrepresentations...
Please, please, please charge him with obstruction of justice in Georgia.
No, but if they could read they'd be very angry. Actually I did read the thread on freerepublic about it, they basically just called her a communist and brought out a whole bunch of racist imagery. One person posted a field of cotton ripe for picking, and they were joined by others basically lamenting the end of slavery.
