A Georgia Trump supporter is trying to use an obscure law to get Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis arrested for her office’s efforts to try the former president for his alleged effort to overturn the result of his 2020 election loss.

Whether he’s legally allowed to do so is another question.

    Correction:

    A moron is trying to use a moronic nothing to get Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis arrested for her office’s efforts to try the former head idiot for his effort to overturn the result of the 2020 elections.

    Like most Trump supporters, he will legally fail like the idiot he is, and how he remembered to keep breathing afterwards is another question.

    So, just the average Trumpistan Republican doing stupid things. Do they at least have a law in Georgia about people abusing the legal system this way?

    I really wish we could just try them all for treason and be done with it. This is obstruction of justice. This basement-dwelling leach needs to be in jail.

    Wow, the video half way down is something. He looks like Cartman imitating the hand movements that Trump uses when speaking.

    What is the likelihood of this succeeding?

    It seems unlikely to me that this will go anywhere.

      I am not familiar with Georgia jurisprudence and am not a lawyer but these things usually fail for various reasons. The procedure is proper, just heavily disfavored and as such incredibly scrutinized. IIRC it stems from British Common Law which allows for private prosecution (instead of a DA, the injured party hires a lawyer to prosecute the criminal case), but has been found illegal in a few states(I believe Georgia is one it is still “legal”).
