Now it's Fani Willis - just now on MSNBC.

The Department of Justice has issued a subpoena for records related to the travel history of Fani T. Willis, the Georgia district attorney who charged President Trump in a sweeping election interference case, according to a federal grand jury subpoena reviewed by The New York Times.

The scope of the investigation is not yet clear. Also unclear is whether Ms. Willis is the target of the inquiry and whether she will ultimately face charges. Grand jury proceedings are secretive by law.

But the document reviewed by The Times is an indication that the Justice Department under President Trump may be investigating another one of his old foes. On Thursday, the department indicted James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, over the objection of career prosecutors who found insufficient evidence to support the charges.

Hopefully they will request attorney, litigation, discovery, etc charge reimbursements.

This is beyond petty and the DOJ is using tax payer's money.

Enough already.

The point is to subject them to considerable expense, disruption of their professional and personal lives and those of their families, harassment and threats from MAGA, and all the other misery that comes with being prosecuted, even if they are eventually exonerated -- It's to punish them for previous perceived transgressions against Trump and to deter and/or silence others who might oppose him.

And the gatekeepers will show up and flood the DU zone with "she's guilty" posts.

They'll go after her testimony as to expenses when she traveled with Nathan Wade.

Or shot a dog
Or sexually assaulted someone
Or hung out with pedos
Or extorted a foreign country for dirt on an opponent
Or started an insurrection
Or had filet minon with a dictator

They'll be facing massive legal bills for this shit--while The Real Felon just suckles the taxpayer teat. We need to help them--both the ones now targeted, and the ones yet to be.

Suggestions on how to go about it?
