| Fani To Be Slapped With Subpoenas After Court Rules Lawmakers Can Demand Answers |
| 2024-12-29 |
| [ZERO] Lawmakers in Georgia have been granted the authority to serve subpoenas on Fulton County DA Fani Willis as part of an inquiry into her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump. In a Monday ruling revealed later in the week, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram allowed the Georgia Senate to compel Willis's testimony - giving her until Jan. 13 to argue that the lawmakers' demands are overly broad, or seek confidential information. Willis plans to appeal the ruling, the Epoch Times reports. "We believe the ruling is wrong and will appeal," said Willis's attorney, former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes. Earlier this year, a state Senate committee was formed over allegations of misconduct by Willis during her prosecution of Trump and his co-defendants (one of whom revealed that Fani hired her lover to help with her prosecution). In August, the committee subpoenaed Willis, who then skipped a September hearing, delaying the inquiry. Her attorney argued that the committee's subpoenas are overly broad and lack legitimate legislative purpose - and that they seek confidential information. Republican state Senator Greg Dolezal applauded the ruling. |

| #7 The argument for the concept of executive privilege is made based on the idea of a sole executive needing high quality advice. It makes sense with regard to Donald Trump, who makes good decisions based on debate among subordinates. Ironically, Trump was routinely given knowingly false and misleading information by various people and departments. Currently, no argument can be made that the DOJ has executive privilege itself separate from the AG providing advice to Biden. We are in an interesting reality where no rational person would believe that the DOJ was providing Biden privileged advice on their Lawfare campaign against DJT. The DOJ would claim that no such initiative ever existed. Biden wasn’t taking advice on complex topics to begin with. He had four staged cabinet meetings and needs a teleprompter to order ice cream. Uniquely, the DOJ has negated the idea of executive privilege with regard to the Fulton County case anyway. They negated it for Trump. Why should they enjoy protection? The table is set to use this case to clean out a large rotting chunk of DOJ. Will Bondi and Patel go after this? Conventional thinking says no. We will see. |

| #4 Her testimony will be very short, but she will still have to dig a couple of Gs from under her mattress to cover the cost. Maybe her county will foot the bill. Maybe she will charge back the DOJ. My quest remains: will the Trump DOJ follow the Biden precedent and negate any Biden claims of Executive Privilege? In reality nobody was advising or counseling Biden of anything other than when to sit down and how to get off the podium without wandering into a jungle or a closet. Merrick Garland gets no protection for his scam to coordinate all this Lawfare. |

| #2 We have people working the Atlanta Metro-Area FD. The joke making the rounds is... The Atlanta Fulton FD has a team on standby waiting for a call about a room full of Shredders and paper catching fire. |

| #1 Republican state Senator Greg Dolezal applauded the ruling. Senator Delezal's applause was joined by the citizens of 158 of the 159 counties in Georgia. |
