State Republicans in Georgia have expedited the passing of a new law allowing the removal of local prosecutors with the likely first target of the law to be Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as she is in the midst of prosecuting Donald Trump.

Clark Cunningham, law professor at Georgia State University, talks with Rachel Maddow about how the new law may work and its likely weaponization to rescue Trump from prosecution. - Aired on 08/24/2023.

1. Gym and his Judiciary committee opened an inquiry into Willis today

2. Of course they did, they also want to impeach President Biden based on no evidence

It's retribution, nothing else.

4. Yes, and his reason is obvious,

the new panel can use this investigation as evidence to fire Fani. Remember what Trump said, you don't need to prove fraud just say there is an investigation and Congressional, or state, Magats will take over.

3. Maybe when Rachel sounds the alarm

and a Georgia law professor, people will listen?

I understand that Trump and Kemp don't get along but Kemp signed this bill.

If the legislature is successful in removing Fani I guess the question will be, will Kemp appoint a pro-Trump Magat to replace her?

This scheme may at the very least delay everything until after the election, even if it fails.

6. I've heard that this is going nowhere, but it's proof that the desperate will try anything

[gab13by13]

7. I agree that it shouldn't go anywhere but,

legal eagles here told me I was chicken little for saying that something was going to happen on J6, 2021. I was told that the counting of the Electoral ballots was just a formality that they were already approved by the states. Yeah, they were right, by an eyelash.

Do not underestimate evil Magats.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I agree that you're right that they refuse to give up

I'm counting on the fact that his chief enablers are headed for prison.
