@atlantadailyworld Georgia Republicans are facing backlash after passing a bill that would give an oversight committee the power to remove “rogue district attorneys.” Many believe the bill is aimed at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis who has gone after Donald Trump and his affiliates for corruption in the 2020 Presidential Election.
The committee could remove Willis who appears close to indicting Trump and others who attempted to steal the election.
With the newly passed Senate Bill 92, Georgia’s Lt. Gov. Burt Jones would be empowered to appoint a member of the oversight committee. Jones is also a target in the investigation.
The oversight committee could remove Willis from her position if they find that any of her decisions were based on “undue bias or prejudice against the accused” or “factors that are completely unrelated to the duties of prosecution.”
Willis struck back by calling the bill racist due to an increased number of minority prosecutors in the state. “I’m tired and I’m just going to call it how I see it,” Willis told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I, quite frankly, think the legislation is racist. I don’t know what other thing to call it. The state had gotten along just fine with the State Bar supervising district attorneys right up until voters put 14 minority prosecutors in office in 2020.”
Willis’ racketeering and conspiracy case against Trump and his affiliates is gaining momentum after a special grand jury recommended indictments for more than a dozen people.
