Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis tore into House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday in a searing letter accusing the Ohio Republican of trying to obstruct her criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

“There is no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter, as you attempt to do,” Willis wrote in the nine-page retort to Jordan, whose committee last month launched a probe into the district attorney’s prosecution of Trump.

    Oh man everyone needs to read that letter. It’s a thorough tearing apart of Jordan’s demands. She throws shade left and right and I love it.

      “Here is another reality you must face: Those who wish to avoid felony charges in Fulton County, Georgia — including violations of Georgia RICO law — should not commit felonies in Fulton County, Georgia,” Willis wrote.

      Damn.

        ‘Moreover, “investigations conducted solely for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to ‘punish’ those investigated are indefensible.”’

        2nd paragraph and already has him on pucker status right out of the gate.

        man, I dunno if she’s gonna get a conviction, but this is definitely going to be the Watergate of this century, the defining political shitshow for a generation. And it’s gonna be fantastic to watch.

          The only way this doesn’t end in a conviction is if a Magat ends up on the jury.

          Fuck, that’s pretty likely, isn’t it?

    “Your letter offends each and every one of these settled principles. Its obvious purposes is to obstruct a Georgia criminal proceeding and to advance outrageous partisan misrepresentations…

    Please, please, please charge him with obstruction of justice in Georgia.

        No, but if they could read they’d be very angry. Actually I did read the thread on freerepublic about it, they basically just called her a communist and brought out a whole bunch of racist imagery. One person posted a field of cotton ripe for picking, and they were joined by others basically lamenting the end of slavery.

    “A spokesman for Jordan did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.”

    It’s going to take some time to recover from a burn that severe…
