The Fulton County, Georgia, election interference case against President Donald Trump and others has been dismissed after the prosecutor who took over the case requested that it be dropped.

"In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years," wrote Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, who took over the case after the original prosecutor was disqualified from the case.

Within minutes of Skandalakis' court filing, the judge overseeing the case granted the request and dismissed the case.

"Defendants Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro and Scott Hall took plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants."

Not exactly a bunch of G. Gordon Liddy types were they.

I know nothing about these plea deals, but ... we have seen how prosecutors are able to threaten people’s families and livelihood. Plus I would take a deal if I knew my testimony would only confirm the innocence of the others. My point is I can’t judge them on a deal they made without knowing the background circumstances.

Cases should have never been brought to bear to begin with. Can you say lawfare.... yes.... I thought you could. What’s the remedy for FAKE charges brought against innocent people?

“The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over,” Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead Georgia attorney said. “This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare.”

Fani Willis had brought the indictments against Trump and 18 GOP allies, whom she charged with attempting to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results — an election that saw Joe Biden become the first Democrat to win any deep Southern state in a presidential election since Bill Clinton’s victory in 1992.

Willis was attempting to use Georgia’s anti-racketeering law to allege a wide-ranging conspiracy among Trump, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and more to try to illegally overturn Trump’s narrow loss to Biden.

“The decision to dismiss all criminal charges against Mayor Rudy Giuliani is long overdue and represents a complete repudiation of the demonstrably false claims that partisan actors used to justify his improper disbarment,” said Giuliani spokesman Ted Goodman.

I demand to know why Fannie didn't refuse to obey illegal orders to get President Trump!

And who gave those illegal orders?
