None of the Democrat candidates and none of their Democrat supporters who questioned election results were ever legally cited nor were they charged w/ any crimes related to questioning election results.

Announcement: Stacey Abrams, please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby.

From X:

BREAKING: The Georgia State Senate has voted 30-19 to create a special committee to investigate Fani Willis.

It will have 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, has full subpoena power, and can require testimony under oath.

At some point she is going to get some confidential dismissal action by her overlords. Don’t put it past FJB to Seth Rich this B*tch.

But Trump can’t use Presidential immunity?

This crap is laughable.

As an Attorney I can assure you this is not just unethical, it is illegal. The actual legal term for what they did is called “Theft of Honest Services”. The larger liability they face is that for each case she brought against someone that Wade was paid for is another count. It could easily be charged as a RICO case. The systematic charging of crimes by the DA and the subsequent payments to Wade for working on those cases provided illegal benefits to them both. Hence the term, Theft of Honest Services. In essence it is illegal to charge someone with a crime so you or a boyfriend, spouse or relative, etc.. benefit from those charges in any way that would constitute a thing of value, monetarily or otherwise of value.

It appears there are elements to honest services fraud:

To be guilty of violating the honest services fraud statute, you must owe a duty of honest service to someone and have deprived that person or entity of the duty owed by accepting a bribe or kickback from another person.

The federal fraud by mail or wire statutes, of which the honest services fraud statute is a part, provide for a fine or a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years, or both. This prison sentence can be for each instance of mail or wire fraud, specifically each letter, each telephone call, and each email. Conceivably, prison sentences could total up to well over 100 years.

Willis overpaid her boyfriend Wade to prosecute third parties and she received kickbacks — free trips, plane tickets, resorts, etc. — using the stolen taxpayer funds.

“Am I mistaken?

She’s essentially claiming “Attorney Client Privilege”?..........”


That is what it seems. Too bad Trump couldn’t have made the same claim. Unfortunately, there is the “Trump” exception to such laws.

“confidentiality interests” mean she can’t hand over any documents.

Decoded: I’ve got nothing to give.

Privacy rights, national security and secrecy are often abused to shield government from public scrutiny and culpability.

Why do you think HRC “really” ran her private server?

It’s so she had control over all the information and who gets to see it. Go put in a FOIA request, what’s on her box isn’t visible. The other thing usually done is the verbal meeting, i.e. no record. If it’s really dubious stuff, you meet on a tarmac someplace where no other ears can hear (feed Intel to a political candidate).

That’s our “transparent” government at work, serving the people and defending the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. Hahahaha

I hope you have this right. Certainly something needs to be done about this woman.
