I’m reading “In Georgia and federal indictments, two vastly different approaches
Legal experts said the difference in strategy comes with some advantages: District Attorney Fani Willis’s sprawling case will allow Fulton County prosecutors to tell the jury a story of a broad conspiracy to reverse election results in multiple states and build a forceful narrative of Trump’s actions in concert with numerous aides, lawyers and local officials. But experts warned that the logistics of putting Trump on trial along with 18 other people — each of whom may file a flurry of pretrial motions — in a racketeering indictment so complex and multilayered could carry unique difficulties….
It seems the elite experts believe the prosecuting ought to be left to the elite — the feds. The “unique difficulties” here include depriving the federal prosecutors of control over how big of a bite to take. How can they regain control without insulting the Fulton County DA?
In this other article in The Washington Post — “Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor who is taking on Trump” — they’re criticizing Trump for criticizing Willis.
The former president has long dismissed the investigation as a “political witch hunt,” and has described his calls to Raffensperger and others as “perfect.” More recently, he has intensified his attacks on Willis and other prosecutors examining his activities, describing them as “vicious, horrible people” and “mentally sick.” He has referred to Willis, who is Black, as the “racist DA from Atlanta.”
Who is Black. Well, then, you elite experts who want to cast doubts on the Georgia prosecution, you’d better continue assiduously in your subtlety. But I’m already thinking the question: How do I know you’re not racist?
