To the Editor:

In a reversal of his customary strategy to prolong legal processes against him, last week Trump’s lawyers filed a motion with the Georgia Supreme Court to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from pursuing indictments for alleged interference with GA’s 2020 election results, to suppress the sealed report of the special purpose grand jury, and dismiss any evidence contained in that report. “Leapfrogging” over the lower court and petitioning the GA Supreme Court is a disfavored Hail Mary legal maneuver. It is also an indication of how desperate Trump is to avoid a GA grand jury indictment. For once, he wants the court to move swiftly.

Currently, DA Wallis is in the process of two grand jury selections, one of which is expected to be asked to hand down indictments for alleged criminal interference in GA’s 2020 presidential election. With all the charges pending in federal court as a result of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s intrepid investigations, why is this state case so worrisome to Trump?
If Trump is indicted in GA, it is potentially damaging to him in the general election. Also, federal charges can be subject to a presidential pardon. A presidential pardon will have no effect on state charges. DA Wallis is expected to bring indictments sometime in August 2023.

While many court observers note that federal prosecutors, such as special counsel Jack Smith, often prefer to go first, as in the Mar-a-Lago document indictment, in this case it may be important to allow the GA election interference case to precede the federal case.

In startling Republican news, Margie Greene basically endorsed President Biden last weekend at the Talking Point Act conference. Performing her trademark rant to the far-right group, she warned that “Joe Biden is trying to finish what FDR started” by legislating programs to assist Americans, such as “education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare.”
“How will Dark Brandon ever recover from this?” mocked “Did Nothing Wrong” podcaster Jay McKenzie. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) ridiculed her for saying Democrats and Biden want to “finish what FDR started.” “Yes,” he agreed. “Guilty as charged.”
“Did not have Marjorie Taylor Greene doing campaign ads for Biden on my election bingo card but here we are,” scoffed influencer Shauna W.

The WH reaction was to tweet her comments, and admit, *You caught us! President Biden is working to better the life of Americans.”
