In a stunning turn of events, former President Donald Trump, along with Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, has been indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a RICO case. This comes as no surprise, considering the ongoing investigation into Georgia’s 2020 election. Trump is expected to turn himself in today, and the media is eagerly awaiting his mugshot. However, it seems Trump has a legal strategy to delay his trials until after the 2024 election, as he and other parties are likely to file for continuances.
House Republicans have now opened an investigation into District Attorney Willis, alleging that her probe was politically motivated. The House Judiciary Committee is looking into whether she coordinated with the Department of Justice when charging Trump. This raises serious questions about the integrity of her indictment against the former president. It is concerning that Willis launched a campaign website just days before bringing the charges, seemingly using it to promote her investigation into Trump.

Furthermore, there are troubling incidents surrounding the grand jury involved in the case. The jury forewoman, Emily Kohrs, went on a media tour last winter, raising eyebrows among legal analysts. It is questionable whether she can provide an unbiased perspective on the matter. Additionally, there have been allegations that prosecutors hosted ice cream parties with the jurors, which raises concerns about their impartiality.
It is clear that District Attorney Willis has ulterior motives in this case. Not only has she been fundraising off her RICO case, but there are also indications of potential bias and unethical behavior. This investigation by House Republicans is necessary to ensure justice is served and to hold Willis accountable for her actions. The American people deserve a fair and unbiased legal process, especially when it involves a former president.
