Georgia's dismissal is the latest salvo in the deep corruption in the American justice system caused by Trump and his political allies. This year, the Justice Department has launched openly partisan prosecutions and investigations into minor errors in mortgage documents allegedly made by Trump's political opponents, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff. And in Orwellian style, federal prosecutors are now reportedly investigation Willis, first prosecutor in Georgia case for unspecified offenses since Trump said she is a “criminal” who “should be brought to justice.”
Meanwhile, Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia will walk free and never have to face a jury for their alleged crimes. Trump has already pardoned his advisor-conspirators, including Giuliani, John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, for any federal crimes they committed as part of his conspiracy. (Full disclosure: I served constitutional expert witness in the John Eastman disbarment case, and the Fulton County District Attorney relied on my report illegality alternative elector schemes in the criminal prosecution of Kenneth Chesebrough.) And, perhaps most shameful of all, on the first day of his second term, Trump pardoned More than 1,200 people have been convicted of federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, including hundreds who attacked law enforcement officers.
But neither Trump nor the Georgia prosecutor can forgive or deny the legal and moral truth. Trump and his associates tried to disrupt the 2020 presidential election. The means by which they attempted to achieve this theft was through manipulation of the legal system, from filing false voter rolls to a campaign to pressure Vice President Pence to interfere with the January 6 vote count. This scheme was illegal, regardless of whether its perpetrators served a single day behind bars.
