Thank you Will. I feel like I am the only frustrated out he got charged by NY first. Although it was actually an attempt to subvert our democracy his base is getting mileage talking about paying off a porn star as a normal occurrence. I had hoped GA would go first with the indictments because they have him on tape. This does not feel to …
Thank you Will. I feel like I am the only frustrated out he got charged by NY first. Although it was actually an attempt to subvert our democracy his base is getting mileage talking about paying off a porn star as a normal occurrence. I had hoped GA would go first with the indictments because they have him on tape. This does not feel to me like it will have a good ending for democracy. I hope I am wrong.
Oh, heck no, Marj. I was hoping that the indictments out of Georgia would be first, because there is absolutely NO defense to what fpotus did on those calls. Period. I was mulling this in my pre-caffeinated state this morning and unable to recall if DA Willis had empaneled a criminal Grand Jury to hear the evidence as yet. She's in the absolute cross-hairs of the RepubliQans in Georgia with their "remove a DA for cause" statute.
Ally, the stipulations of the statute you referred to can't be put into effect until long after Willis has brought her indictments to the fore. No complaints can be filed before July of this year and then they wouldn't be acted on until well into 2024. Willis's term expires at the end of '24. There is no danger at all of Willis being removed, so rest easy. (I've been searching for the past half hour trying to find the info I had on that and I can't find it....GGGRRR!!!)
AH! Found it! The bill provides the following regarding the establishment of the commission:
"The commission shall commence by October 1, 2023, and the rules and regulations promulgated by such commission shall be established no later than April 1, 2024. No complaint shall be filed before July 1, 2024. The commission shall not receive complaint submissions regarding misconduct that occurred prior to July 1, 2023, unless such alleged misconduct is related to a continuous pattern of conduct that continues beyond that date."
"Given the requirement of 'willful misconduct' and the prohibition of the filing of a complaint until July 1, 2024, it seems unlikely that the statute can be used to remove Fani Willis for indicting Trump—especially if the special grand jury recommended the indictment (as seems to be the case here). Willis’s current term in office expires in December 2024, so her prosecution of Trump will be subject to review by voters before a complaint against her can be filed, adjudicated, and appealed."

Thank you for that info.
I’m glad you found it; I am almost never successful in relocating info I found.

Now THERE'S a case we can look forward to...
