4:30Now PlayingAs indictments loom in the Georgia investigation into Trump's efforts to meddle with the state's election, the fake electors for Trump are starting to turn against one another. According to a legal document filed this week by Fulton County DA Fani Willis, the lawyer for the electors never actually told them about the plea deals that were offered, and now they are scrambling to implicate others in criminal activity to save their own skin. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Interesting things are happening with the ongoing, uh, Georgia, I guess you'd call it investigation at this point, since we don't necessarily have prosecutions yet, but the investigation into the fake elector scheme in Georgia, of course, that Donald Trump is at the heart of, took an interesting turn this week when Fulton County attorney, uh, uh, district attorney, excuse me, Fanny Willis, filed a motion in court mentioning that the lawyer representing 10 of the fake electors may have a significant conflict of interest on her hands due to the fact that her own clients are starting to turn against one another. And so there's no way she can actually represent these clients when they're trying to turn against each other. Oh, and by the way, Fannie Willis says she also didn't tell them about the plea deals that we offered them last summer to basically turn against one another like they're doing right now.
The attorney in question is Kimberly Burrow's, Debra, um, that is the defense lawyer. She's representing 10 different fake electors from the state of Georgia. And if what Fannie Willis has claimed is true, and this is actually based on conversations with some of these individuals, then not only would this lawyer have a massive conflict of interest, but this would also clearly be considered legal malpractice if prosecutors were offering a plea deal and the lawyer refused to relay that information to her clients. Like that is the kind of thing 100% that will get you disbarred. So this lawyer who is representing 10 of these individuals is in very, very deep trouble right now, like deep trouble to the point where I honestly do not think she will continue to be a lawyer in the state of Georgia for much longer. If what Fannie Willis said is true, Fannie Willis, let's just take everybody back.
Last summer it was reported they had all these fake electors and they needed information from them. So Fannie Willis came out and said, look, in order to get the information, we're gonna start working on plea deals. We're gonna try to get some of these people to flip. And at the time after that, it was reported that nobody wanted to flip. But now we know the truth. It's not that nobody wanted to flip, it's that the lawyer didn't offer them the plea deal. So they didn't know that flipping and not going to jail themselves was an option. And now that we're inching closer and closer to indictments with this grand jury, now these people are freaking out. And as the report states, they're trying to, you know, turn on one another and say that, no, this person did all the illegal stuff. I have evidence that this guy did even more than you know about, and they're all turning on each other. And their lawyer, the same individual representing each one of them, can't do anything or work out any plea deals. Legally speaking, she cannot
Because it would screw over one of her other clients. And that, of course, is also something that would get you sued for, for legal malpractice. So this lawyer, at the very least, needs to be removed from the case a and stripped of her eligibility to represent any of these people. All 10 of them need to go out and get their own attorneys. And by the way, Fannie Willis had already filed a motion months ago, like last year, trying to tell the courts that this individual cannot represent all of these people because of the conflicts of interest. And the court didn't listen.
