Lawyers claim misconduct in Georgia’s anti-Trump campaign.

Headline:

Media Misleads on Georgia Investigation, Attorney Reveals Alleged Misconduct by D.A.’s Office

Headlines on Friday blared that “At Least Eight Trump Electors Have Accepted Immunity in Georgia Investigation,” but the legacy outlets buried the lede. The real story is that Fulton County’s district attorney can’t find incriminating evidence against the former president even when she grants immunity to targets of her criminal investigation. Additionally, there are allegations of misconduct by the D.A.’s office that have been ignored or downplayed by left-wing media.

The Attorney’s Response:

The attorney representing the eight Republicans targeted by the Fulton County D.A. filed a scathing response on Friday to the D.A. office’s motion to disqualify her from continued representation of her clients. Kimberly Debrow’s 28-page response detailed several previously unknown instances of questionable conduct by prosecutors targeting Donald Trump, his lawyers, and several high-profile Georgia Republicans. And contrary to the misleading headlines of the last several days, Debrow revealed that none of the eight individuals granted immunity “said anything in any of their interviews that was incriminating to themselves or anyone else.”

Background:

The Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis’ probe began in earnest in January of 2022, when she obtained permission from the chief judge of Fulton County to impanel a “special grand jury.” The grand jury’s conclusion “that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it” was meaningless without context, and the context makes clear that Willis misrepresented to the grand jury — and the American public — the substance of then-President Trump’s telephone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021.

Immunity Talk:

The D.A.’s office offered immunity to eight of the 10 electors, but none of them said anything incriminating. During questioning, the prosecutor attempted to mislead and intimidate one of the witnesses by threatening to indict him. The D.A.’s office then filed a second motion to disqualify Debrow, falsely representing to the court that “some of the electors represented by Ms. Debrow told members of the investigation team that no potential offer of immunity was ever brought to them in 2022.”

Conclusion:

The trial court has yet to rule on the Fulton County D.A.’s motion to disqualify Debrow, but the detailed excerpts included in Debrow’s response brief appear to doom Willis’ attempt to force the electors to hire new attorneys. And if, as Debrow’s represented, the electors said nothing “incriminating to themselves or anyone else,” much more of the Fulton County D.A.’s case is likely doomed too.
