Some Republicans have been chomping at the bit to do whatever they can, legal or not, to protect their Dear Leader from any and all accountability for his decades of criminal behavior. One such stunt involves the attempted removal of Fulton County, GA District Attorney, Fani Willis. She is prosecuting Trump and 18 other people for a litany of crimes, RICO being the most serious.
Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican and no fan of Donald Trump, came out with a statement on Thursday.
“There have been calls by one individual in the General Assembly and that got outside of these walls by the former president for a special session that would ignore current GA law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government," he said.
He continued, "Up to this point, I have not seen any evidence that DA Willis's actions or lack thereof warrant action by the prosecuting attorney oversight commission. In my mind, a special session of the General Assembly to end run around this law is not feasible and may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional. In Georgia, we will not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment. We will do what is right. We will uphold our oath as public servants and it's my belief that our state will be better off for it.”
“We just need to be honest with people about what we're what we're dealing with and not inciting people… we have to be very careful when you're in power, in government, not to abuse that power, because if you do you set the precedent for the other side,” he warned.
I may be no fan of Governor Kemp or his myriad of evil, racist and hateful policies, but at least (in this case) he chose the correct side of the issue.
