A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, failed to properly follow the precedent set by the state Supreme Court in allowing the county’s top prosecutor to go forward with a grand jury investigation of former President Donald Trump after disquaifying the prosecutor from part of the probe for misbehavior.
In a legal analysis Aug. 15 in The Daily Signal, I pointed out the problems with the spurious indictment of Trump and 18 codefendants orchestrated by Fani Wills, the politically ambitious district attorney in Fulton County.
This combination of factors has resulted in an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and the structure of the American legal system.
So what is the ethical problem above and beyond the constitutional and legal problems with Willis’ indictment of Trump? On July 25, 2022, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney disqualified Willis from continuing to target then-state Sen. Burt Jones as part of her grand jury investigation.
Jones, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Georgia at the time, went on to be elected in November. He was also one of the contingent electors who showed up at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta on Dec. 1, 2020—the statutorily prescribed day—to vote for Trump to preserve a remedy for him if a court or the state Legislature overturned the results of the presidential election in Georgia.
Three of the contingent electors that day have been indicted by Willis, supposedly for creating “false electoral college documents.”
As McBurney outlined in his disqualification order, Willis “hosted and headlined a fundraiser” for Charles Bailey, the Democratic candidate opposing Jones, at a time when “media coverage of the grand jury proceedings was national and non-stop and the District Attorney was the very public face of those proceedings.”

corruption controls the legal and election systems in our nation because devildemocommiecrats and the gop establishment have sold their souls to satan for personal wealth and power now!!!!!!!!!!
This prosecutor has let her politics invade her job . She from what I hear is not prosecuting crimes in her county, letting criminals loose on the streets, to commit more crimes. Why don't we try protecting the law abiding people where you live,and supposedly voted for your Sorry Butt!! You say Trump committed crimes? Why not Open All the Books and let's have a non-partsan investigation Down and Dirty. Let the Chips fall where they may. Let's answer everybody's questions. Whether you like the question or not. It's almost like she is trying to distract from the questions about the election.
Good luck with that request
