“The new Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis, is already weighing whether to proceed, and among the options she is considering is the hiring of a special assistant from outside to oversee the investigation, according to people familiar with her office’s deliberations.” https://t.co/8JzruLtUnt

- Donald Trump may have violated at least three separate Georgia laws, particularly when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger
- A member of the state’s election board is hoping for a referral by mid-February
- If Trump were charged by the Fulton County DA, it would not be within the bounds of a presidential pardon, instead needing one from the governor
- This is the second possible investigation into Trump that exceeds pardon power
Donald Trump may be facing an inquiry in Fulton County for his alleged attempt to interfere with the election there.
A criminal investigation is being considered by top prosecutors over whether or not Trump violated state law by attempting to overturn the election results.
Fani Willis, just elected to be the district attorney in Fulton County, is also considering the idea of hiring an outside person to oversee the investigation, according to the New York Times.
What about if instead of “healing,” Lindsey was investigated for trying to get Georgia’s Secretary of State to throw out votes to help Trump rig an election? https://t.co/6i4LsaMSFQ

The center of the inquiry is the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger two weeks ago, in which Trump implored Raffensperger to ‘to find 11,780 votes.’
Raffensperger declined, dismissing Trump’s allegations of election fraud in the state.

New attorney may be wrong, Trump he said…. “I just want to find 11,780 votes”… he didn’t say to Raffensperger…. “You just have to find 11,780 votes”…. That make a big difference.
