A little over a week after a prosecutor in Georgia indicted former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 presidential election, Republicans said they will use a new law to remove her from office.
In May, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the law that created a new commission of political appointees with the power to remove and discipline elected prosecutors over decisions or policies not to prosecute certain offenses. The law seeks to limit or restrict reform-minded prosecutors. In the case of Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — though, District Attorney Fani Willis is not even known as much of a reformer. Instead, Republican lawmakers set their sights on Willis for another reason: prosecuting the wrong person.
Sounds like obstruction of justice.
Sounds like the continuation of a coup.
Sounds like more individuals to indict with RICO charges
Is it RICO if these are all separate people committing crimes of their own accord?
I’m not a lawyer, but from the way the indictment was written it sounded like it was the mission that included you in the group, not the main person.
That’s how RICO works: you don’t have to have committed the actual crime, but if your actions materially contributed to the commission of the crime, that’s considered pretty much the same thing.
The Georgia GOP is going to get itself caught up in federal RICO charges at this rate.
I wonder how that would work.
What if the Florida GOP make a RICO reversal law?
Uno reverse! (I don’t know how to link/post images)
If it’s done to perpetuate a conspiracy, maybe
I’m sure Trump’s attorney would say no.
It’s never stopped after all.

I’ve got a hole in my yard filled with it, I used to dump motor oil in there.
Don’t forget the feathers!
Following the old popsci article I see lol
Nah, leave them dull.
And rusted.
More pain, just how they like it… when it doesn’t affect them.
Retaliation is a crime.
Legally? No.
Obstruction is a legal charge. Since what they’re doing would be legal–since they wrote the law–it can’t be obstruction.
