Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) said Thursday that there will be no special session of the Georgia State legislature to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, claiming attempting to do so could be unconstitutional.
Kemp said that despite his own feelings on Willis's investigation into former President Donald Trump and his allies over allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, he does not have the power to call a special session.
“We have a law in the state of Georgia that clearly outlines the legal steps that can be taken if constituents believe their local prosecutors are violating their oath by engaging in unethical or illegal behavior,” Kemp said during a news conference Thursday.

He’s a RINO.
Making needless enemies has consequences. Maybe Kemp would be helping Trump out if Trump hadn’t needlessly ignited a feud with him — by attacking him for trying to end COVID restrictions in Georgia faster than Fauci wanted.
“Trump has been so kind to Kemp “
Kemp helped ratberger steal the 20 election and the runoffs to hand the Senate to the rats. Yeah Trump and all of us should show that selfish prick “kindness”.
Your comment is 100% spot on.
Of course he did but now the turd is in Kemp’s pocket and that will come in handily at some point in the future.
So something valuable did come from the move to impeach fanny.
the Surrender Monkeys won’t allow themselves to understand this and will insist that unless fanny is put in the electric chair nothing happened, but that’s their problem. They just don’t understand politics.
GA State GOP House and Senate just sit around twiddling their thumbs.
SO very shocked /NOT. No way anti-Trump Kemp was going to call a special session.
An abject, total failure as Governor.
The GA legislature is in session 40 days per year and adjourned in early spring for this year.
Most voters just aren’t that bright.

Fani Willis Fights for a Mass Trial As the Georgia Defendants Scatter
Turley’s column in The Messenger focuses on the early struggle of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to preserve her outlandish strategy of holding a mass 19-person trial over the 2020 election case involving former president Donald Trump.
Not only are defendants scattering, but some are seeking to go to federal court where the trial would not likely be televised, as the Georgia prosecutors reportedly want. The hearing on the removal gave a glimpse into the case. Regardless of the ruling of the court, it is likely to be appealed.
Willis appears in federal court in Atlanta today to fight for the ability to try her massive racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and 18 other defendants in a state court in Fulton County, Ga. Trump’s final White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has filed to remove the case to federal court due to his prior federal office and duties. There are good arguments on both sides of the motion.
However, more is at stake for Willis than a change of courtrooms.
Willis used a sweeping racketeering theory to snare Trump and others in an alleged conspiracy that is the aggregation of more than 160 insular acts, ranging from tweets to speeches to specific actions. Some of these individuals face tough charges involving alleged access to voting machines and other specific crimes. However, Willis is trying to hold together a case to try them en masse and in state court. As her defendants try to scatter, Willis will be running between federal and state courts to herd them back into one collective trial.

Yes. Kemp is very corrupt and hates Trump. He’s also lying.
I think Kemp sealed his political future today. No Presidential or Senzte win for him. Many in GA didn’t question his motives before. They voted for him last Nov. thinking he was better than Stacy Abraham’s. Now he’d shown his true colors and those Georgians won’t be fooled again.
This guy is even more milktoast than Mitch McConnell. The funny thing is that he watered down Georgia election integrity to pacify the biggest election denier of all time - Stacy Abrahms.
Paid off and threatened.
Yes, indeed. Right before a recount and other investigations. Then overnight, he changed his tune. I believe he is being threatened and I think he also, wrongly, blames Trump for his future son inlaws’death.
Kemp still remembers how they killed his daughter’s boyfriend as a warning back in 2020.
When your on your way to jail you need to be friends with the ones that can help you I would think
Georgia elections are controlled by a Democrat election board and they choose the electees. It is a Republican State so they are careful to permit mostly Republicans at local other than in the Atlanta Democrat-big-city area. That will change in 2024. The systems all passed the Republican eagle eyed vote watchers like McConnell et al and the machinery is being polished up and expanded. They won everything they set out to win in 2020 and 2022. Those were the test runs. They got NO complaints from the Republicans who simply accepted the Party candidates. In 2024 the system will extend to the whole ballot, perhaps even to local elections. Certainly to local “elections” by 2026 or 8. It worked in all the Democrat states and in some Republican states like Georgia and will be a complete blowout in all states with computer voting machines, “red” or “blue.”
