Jim Jordan Gets Obliterated By Fani Willis

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis finally responded to Republican Congressman Jim Jordan this week after Jordan had sent a letter demanding all of her materials from her investigation. Willis gave a verbal smackdown to the House Judiciary Chairman, informing him that he is interfering with an investigation before berating him for not understanding the Constitution or the laws of Georgia. The letter was one for the ages, as Farron Cousins explains.

Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis, has finally responded to Jim Jordan's request that she turn over all the materials that she has used to indict Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants. In other words, Jim Jordan recently sent a letter to Fannie Willis saying, give me everything that you have got. Took her a little while possibly because she was coming up with some of the best insults I've ever seen. But on Thursday, Fannie Willis finally responded to Jim Jordan and let him know that one, he's illegally interfering in an investigation that he has no authority over. And two, you're kind of dumb. Now, she didn't say he's kind of dumb, but the implication is definitely there. So let me read you some of the best passages from this nine page letter that Fanny Willis sent to Jim Jordan, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Your attempt to invoke congressional authority to intrude upon and interfere with an act of criminal case in Georgia is flagrantly at odds with the Constitution.

There is absolutely no support for Congress purporting to second guess or somehow supervise an ongoing Georgia criminal investigation and prosecution. That violation of Georgia's sovereignty is an of, is offensive and will not stand. Okay? So she kind of starts off, you know, little like, Hey, listen, you don't have authority here. You have no jurisdiction. We're not beholden to you. So get outta here then. Then things get a little, a little more heated. She tells him that he's gotta deal with some basic realities. A special purpose grand jury made up of everyday citizens investigated for 10 months and made recommendations to me. A further reality is that a grand jury of completely different Fulton County CI citizens found probable cause against the defendant's name and the indictment for RICO violations and various other felonies. 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.

In this jurisdiction, every person is subject to the same laws and the same process, there's more, but I just love that like, Hey, here's an idea. If you don't wanna get arrested, don't break the law. Shocker, right, but she has to explain that to him. 'cause Jim Jordan seems to have a real issue with that continues your letter makes clear that you lack a basic understanding of the law, its practice, and the ethical obligations of attorneys generally, and prosecutors specifically for a more thorough understanding of Georgia's Ricoh statute, its application in similar laws in other states. I encourage you to read Ricoh State by state as a non-member of the bar, you can purchase a copy

For $249. Like, Hey, you seem like you're pretty dumb. Here's a book you can read that may enlighten you a little bit. It's 250 bucks. You can go find it that like. That's all I can say. Like that's below the belt. And Jim Jordan absolutely deserved it, and she's not done yet. As it seems. You have a personal interest in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. You should consider directing the US Department of Justice to investigate the racist threats that have come to my staff and me because of this investigation. She then included 10 examples and she said, I'm providing these examples to give you a window into what has happened to my staff and me as I keep the promise of my oath to the United States and Georgia Constitutions, and do not allow myself to be bullied by members of Congress, local elected officials or other who believe Lady Justice should not be blind, and that America has different laws for different citizens.

Now, I imagine if she were holding a microphone at that point, she'd be dropping it because that is absolutely 100% a mic drop moment. But the bottom line is this, Jim Jordan had no authority, even as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, to interfere with a Fulton County Georgia investigation. He has no authority to demand that she turn over those documents.
