ATLANTA - In the latest sign that she is moving rapidly in her investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis has sent so-called target letters to prominent Georgia Republicans informing them they could be indicted for their role in a scheme to appoint alternate electors pledged to the former president despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state, according to legal sources familiar with the matter.
The move by Willis, a Democrat, could have major political implications in a crucial battleground state with high-profile races for governor and the U.S. Senate this fall. Among the recipients of the target letters, the sources said, are GOP state Sen. Burt Jones, Gov. Brian Kemp’s running mate for lieutenant governor; David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party; and state Sen. Brandon Beach.
Jones and Shafer were among those who participated in a closed-door meeting at the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, in which 16 Georgia Republicans selected themselves as the electors for the state, although they had no legal basis for doing so. Shafer, according to a source who was present, presided over the meeting, conducting it as though it were an official proceeding, in which those present voted themselves as the bona fide electors in Georgia - and then signed their names to a declaration to that effect that was sent to the National Archives.
The offices or spokespersons for Jones, Shafer and Beach did not respond to requests for comment. Willis, in an interview, declined any comment on the target letters. But she confirmed she is considering another potentially controversial move: requesting that Trump himself testify under oath to the special grand jury investigating his conduct.

Title 3 of the United States Code allows state legislatures to appoint alternate electors. What’s the penalty for threatening a false prosecution?
What rhymes with caca?
The GA legislature didn't even debate it, let alone vote for alternates.

Fani Willis’s motivation for sending out these target letters to Republicans certainly has shades of what is motivating the J6 committee....the idea of influencing how a future election turns out.
Let them indict- then 2000 Mules becomes part of the defense record
Fani is a hi yellow American enemy
There is video of them stuffing the boxes. And video of them pulling suitcases of ballots from under tables and running them in the middle of the night.
And the lawfare in this active CWII continues unabated.
Lol. Anyone want to bet this will be a case of be careful what you ask for?
All of that AFTER they let observers go home. GA is all in protecting these scumbags though. Despite being caught on tape , this states GOP are fine covering for these criminals.
That and the 2000 mules video is enough to take the electors if a judge will hear the case. But don’t they have to send it to the Secretary of State. They are the ones protecting them.

Meaningless letters sent so that they would have a fawning media push their narrative.
