Georgia has passed a law which Governor Kemp will sign giving the legislature control over the prosecutors. One outcime could be to fire Fani Willis, end the investigation of Trump, and prevent indictment and trial of Trump.
Question: Can the feds take over this investigation?
The states set their own election laws. But is there a federal law that would apply to what Trump did in his phone call to tell Raffensperger to find Trump enough votes to win Georgia? Extortion? Intimidation of an election official? Attempt to overthrow an election?
Subornation since Trump tried to get Raffensperger to falsify election records?
It's clear that Georgia will not allow Willis to indict and try Trump. But her investigation will not be for nothing if the feds can charge and try Trump.
Is it possible?
