Top Georgia Republicans Targeted By DA For Participation In Trump Fake Elector Plot

Fulton County, GA, DA Fani Willis is sending out targeting letters to Georgia Republican officials suggesting that could be facing indictment for Trump’s fake elector plot.

Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News reported:

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has sent so-called “target” letters to prominent Georgia Republicans informing them they could be indicted for their role in a scheme to appoint alternate electors pledged to the former president despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state, according to legal sources familiar with the matter.

The move by Willis, a Democrat, threatens to have major political implications in a crucial battleground state with high-profile races for governor and the U.S. Senate this fall. Among the recipients of the target letters, the sources said, are GOP state Sen. Burt Jones, Gov. Brian Kemp’s running mate for lieutenant governor, David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, and state Sen. Brandon Beach.

Those are some big names in Georgia Republican politics that could be facing indictment for participation in the scheme to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results.

Willis isn’t playing games. She has already subpoenaed Sen. Lindsey Graham and Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani. The biggest fish for the DA to reel in is the man at the top. The person who was caught on tape trying to get Georgia state election officials to “find” votes for him.

Trump is at the center of the scheme, and he is the big name that the DA is likely trying to build a case against.

While everyone is focused on Merrick Garland, justice may come for Trump in Georgia.
