Jim Jordan Gives Fani Willis an Ultimatum

Source: Newsweek


By Katherine Fung

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is giving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis an ultimatum: cooperate with his investigation into her office or potentially face contempt of Congress. Jordan wrote a letter to Willis on Thursday, first reported by Fox 5 Atlanta, warning her that if she does not produce all the documents the House committee has requested within two weeks, "the Committee will consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceeding." The Ohio Republican said Willis has until noon on March 28 to comply with the panel's subpoena.

Jordan first subpoenaed Willis over the allegations that she misused federal funds on February 2, asking the district attorney to turn over documents and communications related to her office's receipt and use of federal money received from the Justice Department. In the letter, he said the committee had "appreciated" the "narrow set of documents" that it had received from Willis in response to the subpoena, but deemed her compliance to date as "deficient."

Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have been looking into Willis' use of federal funds during her office's investigation into former President Donald Trump and his allies. Willis accused Jordan of trying to obstruct the prosecution of Trump's election interference case in Georgia and, in September, called his earlier request for information an "unjustified and illegal intrusion into an open state criminal prosecution."

On Thursday, Jordan accused the district attorney of smearing a former employee for speaking out about her misuse of federal grant funds. "We will not dignify your attacks on this brave whistleblower, or your continued attempts to distract from your conduct through misdirection and personal insults," Jordan wrote. "The allegations in the public realm about your misuse of federal grant funding are concerning, and the Committee has an obligation to examine them." He argued that although Willis said the panel's subpoena was "overbroad and unduly burdensome," his committee had, "on the contrary," been exercising its authority "with restraint."

DA Fani Willis has previously called Gym out for not passing the bar. Gym never passed or took the bar exam even though he is the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. This shade really made me smile

I'm older than he is, and yet I have almost no grey in my hair. You have to look close sometimes to see what grey I do have. Yes, it's my 100% natural hair. No dyes, tints, rinses, wigs, extensions--none of it, only what I was born with. So people can get into their 60s with their natural colour staying (mostly) intact. Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean it never does.

This idiot has enough genuine flaws that warrant criticism to waste time on imaginary ones. And, without firm evidence, that's what this claim about his hair status is--imaginary.

Is it even legal for congress to do this? I would think it would be illegal for even a congressman to try to intimidate or impede a prosecutor. If congress can attack prosecutors like this, I can't see how they could convict anyone.

He can ask for documentation on how her office is spending federal funds. He can't ask for case files of an ongoing prosecution.

Big difference.

Does he not understand the difference between a county prosecutor and the federal government?

No--please don't answer. I'm still working on my first cuppa, so my brain can't yet process his level of stupid.

PS Never mind how he's the rock bottom last person who can demand that anyone comply with a Congressional subpoena.

You first, Jacketoff.

Fri Mar 15, 2024, 09:22 AM

The crimes in Georgia had to do with racketeering and trying to stop the legitimate ballots
being counted by substituting fraudulent ones. This highly illegal scheme was run by Mark
Meadows, Rudy G, Eastman, and Clark on behalf of D. Trump along with trying to f-with the
voting and tabulating machines.

Fani has her strategy is laid out as clear as can be and that is she is going to flip and has
flipped some of the Georgia republicans who submitted fraudulent electoral ballots in order
to rob the people of Georgia of a fair election.

Fani use of RICO laws means that the lower level shits have to come clean about what
they did in 2020 and 2021 or get a mandatory 5 years in the grey bar motel in order to
protect D. Trump and Meadows.

Fani is gonna roll up the whole thing. As she said when she started her work on the criminal
attack on the Georgia election, “I don’t come to play.”
