And she is demanding trial in March 2024, the \u201cday before Super Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One count, the letter explains, has Willis seeking \u201cto criminalize under Georgia law the White House chief of staff arranging meetings and phone calls for the president.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are also aspects of the indictment that give rise to questions about whether your office is seeking to criminalize under Georgia law certain speech of federal officers, including the president, that is protected by the First Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, \u201cTo the extent that presidents fear that they may be subject to politically motivated prosecutions after they leave office, this could impact the policies they choose to pursue while in office. And because this former president is a current candidate for that office, the indictment implicates another core federal interest: a presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, \u201cthere are questions about whether and how your offices coordinated with DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith,\u201d the letter warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House committee then instructs Willis to provide \u201call documents and communications referring or relating to the Fulton County District Attorney\u2019s Offices\u2019 receipt and use of federal funds,\u201d \u201call documents and communications\u201d with the DOJ or Smith, or referring to the Trump investigation, and all communications between her office and \u201cany federal executive branch officials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was given a deadline of Sept. 7 to satisfy the congressional demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federalist report noted, \u201cIncluded in the bogus 98-page indictment are several acts Willis contends contributed to the \u2018furtherance\u2019 of the so-called conspiracy, such as tweets issued by Trump encouraging people to watch Georgia legislative oversight hearings on TV and a text message asking for phone numbers sent by former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also explained it was forewoman Emily Kohrs who \u201copenly bragged during interviews with regime-approved media \u2018about her excitement at the prospect of subpoenaing President Trump and getting to swear him in.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GOP says the Congress has authority for the review because of \u201cWillis\u2019 alleged attempt to \u2018use state criminal law to regulate the conduct of federal officers acting in their official capacities,\u2019 such as that of Trump and Meadows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/conservativefiringline.com\/gop-investigating-fani-willis-over-politically-motivated-prosecutions\/\">https:\/\/conservativefiringline.com\/gop-investigating-fani-willis-over-politically-motivated-prosecutions\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Republican Party in Congress have notified Fani Willis, the leftist Georgia prosecutor who unleashed a multiple-count indictment against nearly 20 people who allegedly conspired with President Trump during the 2020 election by making \u201cphone calls\u201d and such that they want answers about her agenda.
