4:33Now PlayingA group of fake Trump electors in Georgia have asked a judge to remove Fani Willis as the prosecutor for even more of their depositions and testimonies because they claim she is too tainted to handle the situation. This has already happened with one sitting lawmaker in Georgia who successfully got Willis barred from his involvement in the case, but it may not work with everyone. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

A group of 11 Republican fake Trump donors in the state of Georgia have petitioned. The judge that is working of course, to oversee the, uh, Fulton county, Fannie Willis, uh, special grand jury investigation into possible election fair by Trump and his Kies in Georgia. So a group of 11 of the fake Trump electors have now petitioned the judge for a second time, trying to get Fannie Willis removed from the case. But the interesting part is they don't wanna removed entirely from the investigation, just of course the investigation into them because here's what happened. And I talked about this recently. It was a, it was a stupid, stupid mistake by Fannie Willis. The only mistake she has made so far, she went out there and was the headliner at a campaign event for the democratic candidate for Lieutenant governor in the state of Georgia? Well, the man that that candidate is running against happens to be Republican state Senator Burt Jones and Burt Jones is also a subject of Fannie Willis's investigation.
So she was out there campaigning and raising money for Jones's opponent while investigating Jones, big error, huge error, an error that made the judge say, Fannie Willis, you can no longer investigate Bert Jones. We will assemble a separate prosecutorial team. That's gonna look into what bet Jones did, but because you're clearly not impartial, you can't investigate him. So now these 11 fake electors who, who are clearly, you know, targets in this investigation have petitioned the judge, Hey judge, what about us? Right? Oh, we, we worked on the campaign. We were with this guy we're, you know, tight at the hip with Jones. So if she can't be impartial to Jones, she can't be impartial to us. So you gotta get her off our backs too. Now they had already made that argument when the judge decided on the Jones situation and the judge said, no, y'all aren't excused from this.
She can still go after you. So now they've regrouped retooled their message and said, basically, indeed, because Senator Jones has been removed from this investigation. There's arguably an even greater likelihood that the officers of his campaign partners, his running mates, his financial supporters and his key political allies could be treated even more harshly. So these idiots are going to the judge and say, listen, everybody who's ever seen Burt Jones in their lives. She can't investigate them. Like the mailman that goes to his house every day, that's too connected to Jones. You gotta cut it out. The Amazon delivery guy, you can't investigate him. Uh, I gave five bucks to his campaign. So clearly she hates me and can't be impartial
While investigating me. Those are the idiotic arguments that they're making. And again, they've attempted this with the judge before. So I don't know that they're gonna see any success, but I'm still bothered by the fact that Fannie Willis made such, such a ridiculous error. It was totally not necessary. She has done a brilliantly beautiful job in this investigation and had to go be the headliner at that event. Had she not done that, man? This would've been a flawless investigation to date, but I do think she's clearly learned her lesson. Listen, I'm not gonna mix into politics right now. I got a big job to do. And if she does this job correctly, hopefully she moves up that ladder. I could see an attorney general spot for her up there in the future. And I'd love to see that she's got the one blemish.
