The stable genius that once remembered 5 words for a half hour, who was the head of our Rule of Law Republic, had to be reminded by a court of law not to threaten jurors or community members involved with his case since that's his go-to reflex.  Somebody had to tell President Trump not to have U.S. citizens doing their civic duty murdered by his minions, lest he be out $200k.  That happened today.  in America.  You fucking children.

Did Trump just admit that he has "murdered" someone?

[YGIFS 19450]

Yeah, there's a few different ways that syntax could go.  And I know his people are used to his rants on social media.  But I mean, in what world would you ever, ever under any kind of legal investigation from parking ticket to a coup to genocide would you possibly consider the use of the word "murder" in a written statement that the judge and jury could see?  

I mean look, ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury...I may have double parked.  But that is nothing compared to the violent murder spree the other side's lawyer is about to discuss with you.  

I get what Commander Dipshit is trying to say but that is just a really weird way to bring up something that should never be uttered, ever.  Especially if some of your crimes led to people...you know...dying.  From...you know...violence

State senator eyes new panel as way to punish Fani Willis over Trump indictments

Commission, starting in October, will have power to sanction and even remove prosecutors
 

Several Republican lawmakers are seeking ways to sanction Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after she brought criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and 18 allies.

Trump backers are going after Willis using a new state law approved by Gov. Brian Kemp that creates a state commission with power to sanction or oust prosecutors found to be neglecting their duties or responsible for an array of other violations.

State Sen. Clint Dixon said Monday that he would file a complaint against Willis in October when the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission begins its proceedings, saying the indictments were sparked by Willis’ “unabashed goal to become some sort of leftist celebrity.”

“Once the Prosecutorial Oversight Committee is appointed in October, we can have them investigate and take action against Fani Willis and her efforts that weaponize the justice system against political opponents,” the Buford Republican said in a social media post.

“This is our best measure,” Dixon added, “and I will be ready to call for that investigation.”

I'm not sure how this will all play out, but what I can tell you is that in Georgia if you revoke the terms of your bail you get hauled in pretty quickly.  There is a pretty good reason that once someone is arraigned here you don't here them say much beyond referring to their attorney or no comment.  There also aren't a series of steps for this sort of stuff, once you violate it the judge will just revoke it, they arrest you, you wait in jail, and then you have to wait for another pretrial hearing/bail.  You don't want to go down said path.  I had a friend that did something wrong (not overly serious), got arrested, arraigned, etc.  The county made a paperwork mistake, the judge subsequently revoked his bail, and he got to spend 8 days in Fulton County for it to get cleared up/see the judge.  

Now big mouth having to keep it shut for months on end seems fairly unrealistic to me.

I musta missed the Federalist Paper that dealt with, "What if a sitting or recently removed President shares U.S. military plans with adversaries for personal gain or fame?"  There's no specific law for half his shit because nobody, even Nixon, ever thought somebody in charge of the Republic would pull this kinda shit.  Yeah, sorry Article II didn't do a deep dive into perfect phone calls.  I think they were busy with a fucking war or something.

But it doesn't allow them to throw out the  investigation/case, and her replacement could just keep on chugging along. Republicans also don't have the 2/3 majority in the Georgia Senate to impeach her, and they aren't in session again until next January.

I saw an interview with a law professor a few days ago talking about it, and she mentioned that to make the actual investigation/indictment go away, the Georgia legislature would have to change the laws next year (she made it seem like it would be an extensive overhaul of the laws in order to make it go away), and then try and apply them retroactively, and that it would then cross into constitutional issues (I guess with separation of powers, she didn't say). She also said Kemp would probably veto it though, since it's opening a huge can of worms that he and others don't want.

She also said if the Georgia legislature tried to interfere, it could easily be folded into a federal case and end up in federal courts, and that it might in fact be folded into a larger federal case anyways. She questioned whether the Georgia legislature would want do something to cause the feds to take it all over and start digging around in Georgia. As she put it, and I'm paraphrasing, "do Georgia politicians want Jack Smith digging into their communications with the Trump campaign in late 2020 and early 2021?"

Just to add to this, GA Senate bill 92, which was signed into law doesn't read the way it's being twisted.  Essentially speaking, a prosecutor would have to be at least indicted of a crime for the Governor to step in.  The origins of this bill at least to begin with had some level of bipartisanship to it, with good reason.  In Georgia we've had a problem of elected prosecutors running afoul of the law, refusing to resign, and either having the wheels of justice grind to a halt waiting for the either the criminal process to play out, an election, or worse a prosecutor continuing business as usual, and then having everything done under their watch undone because of their criminality on appeal.  This issue has occurred across both sides of the aisle.  For example, in the Amhaud Arbery case, in south Georgia, where the white racists vigilantes shot and killed a black guy for jogging in his neighborhood, the DA attempted to interfere in the investigation.  She was charged and is awaiting trial, but in theory she could have continued her normal duties even after being indicted, to the point of even choosing to prosecute or not prosecute that case (she resigned, but in theory this was possible).  The intent of the law is to prevent this sort of conflict and in such situations allow the Governor to appoint a replacement until the next election.  

In order for Kemp to interfere in Fulton County he can't just do it on a whim.  First, he'd have to show a willingness to do so, and thus far he's shown none of that.  Second, if he did attempt something like that with unsubstantiated claims or anything of the like, he'd faced legal challenges to it, including injunctions and the like.  Bottom line, on the right this sort of thinking is purely magical nonsense.  To the media, it's a ratings grab, and disingenuous, because they all know its not a realistic thing.  

Lastly, in order to change Georgia law, the session opens in January of next year and closes at the end of March.  Almost all bills, even bipartisan ones don't get passed until the last day of session, right at the end of March.  Further, they don't usually come into effect until Jan 1 of the following year (2025 in this instance).  Now special sessions can be called, but this is extremely unlikely.  Also, I am unaware of any law being retroactively put into effect.

One of these so called students of the constitution once told me since 2 is a smaller number it outranks all other ammendments, I shit you not.

Plus, isn't he a fact witness in this case who publicly has said there was no election interference?  Doesn't seem likely he'd try to throw himself under the bus for Trump.  But at this point, little would shock me.

Quote

Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) said there’s one name Donald Trump needs to fear as the criminal cases against him move forward: Mark Meadows.

“I served with Mark Meadows. I know Mark Meadows,” Jolly told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Monday. “And I believe today that Mark Meadows has sung like a canary already.”

Quote

Jolly said Meadows isn’t “somebody who wants to go to prison for Donald Trump.”

Meadows has been largely silent in public for months, was barely mentioned in the Jan. 6 indictment against Trump, and has reportedly delivered damaging information when questioned.
