Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) said Monday that she would not be testifying before a Republican-led Georgia state Senate panel investigating her.

At an event where she earned the endorsement of many local Black religious leaders, Willis said the committee investigating her may not have the authority to subpoena her.

“First of all, I don’t think they even had the authority to subpoena me, but they need to learn the law,” she said, reported by Fox 5. She continued, saying she would not appear for anything unlawful because she had “not broken the law.” “I’ve said it amongst these leaders; I’m sorry folks get pissed off that everybody gets treated equally,” Willis said.

Willis, who is conducting a historic indictment of former President Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, has also made headlines for her personal relationship.

4. Remember the movie "Chinatown"?

Remember the closing scene in which the old detective says to Jack Nicholson’s character: “Forget it, Jake - it’s Georgia?”

5. What is the end game?

So they or the Republicans arrest Fani Willis? Is that the play? Force her to drop the case?

What does that look like if Republicans get what they want?
Think of the audacity of what they are doing... attempting to fire/jail the person that is simply prosecuting TSF that was indicted by a grand jury of Georgia citizens.
This is the complete subversion of the rule of law and democracy. I would have never imaged they would have gone so far. We are in very uncertain and dangerous times.

6. I REC this, but

I just want to address your last sentence. 1000% agree with it. WOW, i also never thought our country could be turned upside down like this. We ARE truly in uncertain and dangerous times!!!

7. Their end game is

If 45% of the electorate in the right number of states decide to destroy America, they will destroy America.

We fought a war over this shit once, we may need to again.

Not advocating anything, except to be prepared.

9. Translation: "Fuck you. If I broke the law, charge me. Otherwise, kiss my ass, you GOP bastards."

...except, she's too much of a gentlewoman to say that.
