Georgia special grand jury investigating Trump's election crimes AND Lindsey Graham & Rudy as well- GK
Today marks the first day of Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis selecting jurors to sit on the recently empaneled special grand jury. The special grand jury has the power to subpoena uncooperative witnesses, while the previously-empaneled regular grand jury has already heard the testimony of more than 50 witnesses who appeared voluntarily, without the necessity of a subpoena.
DA Willis also indicted that she is investigating not only Donald Trump's Georgia state election crimes, but she is investigating Senator Lindsey Graham and Rudy Giuliani as well for their possible role in Trump's corrupt scheme to overturn the results of the Georgia election.
However, DA Willis also acknowledged that she is pausing her investigating until after the upcoming elections in Georgia on May 24.
This video discuses the outdated "norm and tradition" of pausing law enforcement investigations in the months before an election. In today's political environment, this outdated tradition does nothing more than give nefarious political actors an opportunity to corruptly win an election or reelection. It's time for a change in this outdated tradition. Glenn Kirschner - 05/02/2022.
