The Fulton County Slow Walk

 

After announcing in late January that decisions are "imminent" regarding charges for the Malignant Loser and his enablers for their attempt to subvert the 2020 Presidential election in Georgia, it now appears that Fulton County, GA, District Attorney Fani Willis won't make that "imminent" decision until some time this summer. In a letter to local and state law enforcement, Willis said there would be a need for heightened security due to threats of violence from MAGA cult members. That in itself is an indication that charges will indeed be brought against the Malignant Loser and his Big Lie cohort, including his unhinged "personal lawyer" Rudy "Dye Drip" Giuliani at long last. But the wait is excruciating and potentially perilous for the prosecution.

The deep disappointment over the new, delayed timetable was voiced by former Federal prosecutor Elie Honig, speaking to Wolf Blitzer on CNN:

"I think there is a very fair criticism of Fani Willis for taking this. Fani Willis became the D.A. on January 1st, 2021. The tape that we just heard of Donald Trump calling Brad Raffensperger, that happened next day and then became public within hours, and now we're looking at an indictment, if this timeline holds, at earliest two and a half plus years after the effect. I know investigations take time. This should not have taken two and a half plus years. And now as a result of that, Wolf, Donald Trump supporters are going to say, first of all, we didn't see an indictment for two and a half years until after Donald Trump, A) announced candidacy and, B) is emerging as a frontrunner.

They're not going to get to a trial until the middle of 2024 at the earliest if we see a charge this summer. There is discovery and appeals and motions, and is a state judge really going to hold a trial of a potential Republican frontrunner or nominee that close to an election? I'm not so sure. And I think Fani Willis bears responsibility for taking this long to do this."  (our emphasis)

The evidence in the case appears to be overwhelming, not just the Malignant Loser's voice on tape asking Georgia officials to produce fraudulent ballots for him, but the testimony of witnesses and documentation that indicates election fraud, and more, was perpetrated. As Honig points out, the delays create space for the Malignant Loser and his cult to slow the court and to undermine Willis' case that they've argued falsely from the beginning is political. Time lost is time wasted.
