When lawfare is meant as a way to drain an accused of their finances, and therefore any way of proving their innocence in court, they have to find a way to raise money.

Maybe Trump should stop dropping all of his defamation lawsuits and actually win one. That would raise money to help finance his defense and the defenses of those who followed him.

Jim Jordan (he of the now ironic government weaponization subcommittee) signed his name to a stupid letter to Fani Willis.

Prosecutor to Jim Jordan: ‘You lack a basic understanding of the law’​

And again.

Fani Willis Tells Jim Jordan to Pound Sand in Scathing Letter: ‘You Are Abusing Your Authority’​

A charitable explanation of your correspondence is that you are ignorant of the United States and Georgia Constitutions and codes. A more troubling explanation is that you are abusing your authority as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary to attempt to obstruct and interfere with a Georgia criminal prosecution. See O.C.G.A. § 16-10-24. Indeed, you confessed to this motivation on Mark Levin’s September 10, 2023, show: when discussing one of my office’s active prosecutions. you boasted, “We’re trying to get all the answers, but we’re trying to stop this stuff as well” (emphasis added). While you may enjoy immunity under the United States Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, that does not make your behavior any less offensive to the rule of law.

How is that relevant? She is being confronted about things she doesn't like, so she argues in response. What does that prove other than the fact that she's become defensive?

I really can't follow your train of thought, so I'll try something else.

Congress has no jurisdiction or authority over a state case. Jordan is trying to interfere in a state case, demanding various documents. DA Willis is telling him no, and to go ask DOJ if he has questions about federal things.

A state case can become federal if any federal laws are being violated, even in the way it is being handled.

Maybe Jordan can cool his jets until something like that occurs. As it is, I believe the judge has rejected several requests to remove the trial to federal court.

If federal laws are being violated, then it become a matter for the executive branch. Jordan is trying to exercise Congress' oversight powers on a state, which is not within his purview.

The same judge who has already voiced his opinions about Trump and the case before it's even run its course?

So just throw out random accusations to see if any of them land?

Trump ally is first to plead guilty in Georgia elections case​

Former Republican poll watcher Scott Hall pleads guilty to five criminal counts and must testify against co-defendants.
Scott Hall is now expected to testify against his co-conspirators.

Trump co-defendant Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia election-interference case (to several misdemeanors)​

She agreed to serve six years of probation, pay a $6,000 fine, pay $2,700 to the Georgia secretary of state’s office and testify truthfully at co-defendants’ trials.


RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
(ON HER CO-DEFENDANTS)

--
CNN
As part of her guilty plea, Powell is admitting her role in the January 2021 breach of election systems in rural Coffee County, Georgia. With the help of local GOP officials, a group of Trump supporters accessed and copied information from the county’s election systems in hopes of somehow proving that the election was rigged against Trump.

Chesebro's trial starts tomorrow.

So Trump was right all along. There was something fishy in Georgia. There were people trying to steal the election!

Now we have a confession. They were Trump supporters.

A bonanza today!

New trove of emails and documents turned over to prosecutors in Georgia election subversion case​

More than 15,000 emails and documents connected to Misty Hampton, the former election supervisor for Coffee County, were discovered this month by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation – after attorneys for the rural county’s board of elections claimed the information had been lost.

[Why, they were behind the couch this whole time!]

Hampton has been charged alongside Trump and 17 other co-defendants with trying to subvert the 2020 election results in Georgia. She has been accused of facilitating the unlawful breach of Coffee County’s voting systems.

Hampton’s attorney Jonathan Miller said he believes that the newly discovered emails and content will exonerate her.

“There is nothing in the 15,000 emails that would do anything to make my client culpable of a crime, and I look forward to reviewing it all,” Miller told CNN.

[Story is dated Tuesday, so this is before Powell's guilty plea.]

“Few people believed the bizarre claims made by the Coffee County Board of Elections and their attorneys that Misty Hampton’s emails were suddenly lost shortly after she was terminated in February 2021,” the coalition [whose ongoing 2017 civil lawsuit against Hampton inadvertently uncovered her involvement in these 2020 shenanigans] said in a statement.
