Why would a Republican listen to a Democrat? If he did publicly oppose sanctions, would that earn him the votes of all these Democrats?
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp called to publicly oppose sanctions against DA in Trump case
A Georgia faith leader representing more than 530 churches is calling upon Gov. Brian Kemp to publicly oppose Republican efforts to remove or discipline Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Willis, a Democrat and the first Black woman to serve in the position, has become a lightning rod for attacks by supporters of former President Donald Trump, who she indicted this month along with 18 others on charges related to an alleged conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Many state and national GOP lawmakers, not to mention Trump himself, have criticized Willis as a “partisan hack” and have proposed launching investigations and pursuing sanctions against her over the case, which marks the fourth indictment against the former president amid his bid to return to the White House.
Willis was out to get Trump. She was campaigning on it. Her whole case seems to rest on prosecuting someone engaged in their 1st Amendment Rights
“We strongly call upon you to make it publicly known that you do not support the calls of those who seek an investigation of (Willis),” Bishop Reginald T. Jackson, head of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgia, wrote in a letter sent Friday.
How many of the members vote Republican? 10% or less?
A statement from Kemp would “put to rest this divisive, polarizing, partisan and inflammatory attempt to disrupt our state and its people,” according to Jackson, who notes how Kemp testified to the grand jury in the case and has rejected Trump’s false claims that the presidential contest was stolen in previous public comments.
Kemp and Trump obviously do not get along, but, do they get the notion that this is a battle, that the enemy is the Democratic Party, and slamming each other is not a good thing? Well, Trump has never seemed to get that, never understood Reagan’s 11th Amendment, never understood that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Does Kemp understand? Will he get involved or stay above the fray? Will Trump understand to not slam Kemp?
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to her on Thursday launching an inquiry into whether she coordinated with federal officials for the indictment of Trump.
The committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, demanded information from Willis regarding any communication she had with the Justice Department, the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith who also indicted Trump and executive branch officials. They set a Sept. 7 deadline to receive correspondence.
It’s funny, for all the Democrats complaining about this, saying the House has no business being involved, well, it’s a real good reason why the federal government shouldn’t be funding all things state, local, and county, which is what gives Jordan authorization to get involved. Your taxes flow to Los Federales then back to things like prosecutor’s offices, giving Los Federales a say in their operations.
