Prosecutors in Georgia are moving closer to opening a criminal investigation into President Donald Trump, according to The New York Times.

Fulton County's new district attorney, Fani Willis, is seriously considering whether to launch an official inquiry into Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 Election, the paper reported.

Willis has also deliberated over whether to hire a special assistant to oversee the inquiry, sources told the Times.

The calls for Trump to be investigated have come from watchdog groups and Democratic lawmakers.

Earlier this month, the sole Democrat on Georgia's state election board, David Worley, called on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to look into Trump's controversial hour-long phone call, according to The Washington Post.

Worley referred to a Georgia state code that makes it illegal to solicit someone into committing election fraud, the paper reported. Violating § 21-2-604 is punishable by up to three years in jail.

In Trump's call, obtained by the Post, the president urged Raffensperger to 'find' 11,780 votes to secure a win over President-elect Joe Biden. This request was rebuffed.

Since Worley's request, Raffensperger has noted a potential conflict of interest in him investigating the conversation. He told ABC News that Fulton County would be a more "appropriate venue" to conduct a criminal investigation.

Worley has since warned that if Fulton County's district attorney doesn't announce an inquiry into the phone call by the date of the state election board's next meeting, then he would make a motion to refer it to her office, according to The New York Times.

The next meeting is scheduled to take place on February 10, 2021.

Quite so.

“..they are asking for a war.Period.”

I have been saying this for a while. The only resolution is from armed conflict and a Revolution. Far Left Liberals CANNOT co-exist with Conservatives.

[alternatives?]

This is just chum for the press buttressing the narrative that the election was fair. They will not pursue it for obvious reasons.

[missnry]

These scum cannot stop playing Opposite Day! They stole this election and they stole the Senate election! They got away with it and they are emboldened. They own the talking points that it was the most secure election ever. Why are those ballots and machines not in the lawful possession of our side to do a forensic audit? Those ballots must be scanned for their forensic markings! We need to turn this around on their heads.

[Still Thinking]

Hey hey, they finally found some election interference after all!

[gov_bean_ counter]

I don’t think discovery will bring the hoped for results. Dems will shop for a partisan judge and they challenge every document or evidence request. Of course the partisan judge will deny the request.

Worley has since warned that if Fulton County's district attorney doesn't announce an inquiry into the phone call by the date of the state election board's next meeting, then he would make a motion to refer it to her office, according to The New York Times.

Has Fulton County performed a full audit of the vote? Have they performed a signature check? Have they validated that every vote was by an eligible live resident of voting age? Were all the legal requirement for the conduct of the vote performed?

Fulton County can or has demonstrated that there was NO outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause violations, voting machine irregularities, and significant statistical anomalies? Where is their report?

Is Fulton County concerned about election integrity, or is it easier to simply declare that all was well?

Kemp may as well resign and take a job in Bidet’s cabinet. He’s toast.

And he doesn't even realize it.

[JWNM]

The left really is trying to provoke conservatives. They aren’t bright enough to realize they will only create a martyr.

[ilgipper]

Not after this left wing legislation starts. The pendulum will be swinging hard to the right. Georgia just has to out vote the fraud

[Dawgreg]

Kemp is losing to Doug Collins next year he’s on borrowed time

Hey, wait a minute! Did you ask Gov. Stacy if Collins is going to get the governorship next year?....;)

[M Kehoe]

Discovery can be a bitch, bitch.

Petition to impeach Joe Biden!

[Bob434]

Yes, but what will it amount to with corrupt courts or committees or whatever presiding over the case?

[Bryan24]

“All of the ballots and envelope signatures and voting machine source code and logs would have to be provided, as well as Ruby Freeman’s phone records.”

I hate to tell you this but those things would have NO bearing on a criminal case against Trump for trying to solicit Election Fraud. The only evidence in question would be the phone call made by Trump.

[StAnDeliver]

But she's a good dancer, don'tcha know.

"Sheboon, sheboon, sha na na na na na na na..."

[Trumpisourlastchance]

They will do it. I give it 96% chance. With corrupt prosecutors, judges & juries who hate Trump, he is in danger.

I strongly recommend that Trump have an exit plan. Russia might allow him to exile there.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

With the crappy lawyers that Trump has used over the years, I have no confidence in a successful defense.

[jetson]

Is she trying to kick start a fart.

[TXnMA]

Almost hope they get what they wish for. '-)

With all the election fraud evidence we have,

discovery and defense should be a reai b*tch for them.

Bring it on!
