Will the Georgia elector fraud case harm the federal investigation?

Will it slow down or obstruct the work that the DOJ is doing? Will it put some folks into "double jeopardy"?

Fani Willis is fearless. I am sure she will not hesitate to subpoena whomever she thinks will help her case, including Donald J Trump. I would not be surprised to see him named as a "target" in her investigation sometime soon. How could he not be?

When a person is tried twice for the same crime. Agolf Twitler committed both federal and state crimes by violating both sets of laws for the same illicit activities. He can be tried under both sets of laws in both court systems, concurrently or one after the other.

The nice thing is evidence introduced into one court system is available for the other, if it demonstrates volition of the applicable laws.

I am not a lawyer. But I did sleep in the dog house last week
