Thread Name: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III
Subject: RE: Trump INDICTED x4 NO new Trump threads part III
The State of Georgia hearing on the leadership of Fulton County DA Fani Willis is on right now - and the Trump folks stood there and repeated the same lies as if none of it (all of it!) had been debunked. That's what they've been talking about in relation to how Hitler came into power - tell a Big Lie and make it so bold and say it so often that people will start to believe it. It has also come up this week in interviews with Barbara McQuade in advance of the release of her book Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America

Trump's folks are trying to change the rules that the state set - what has to be proved to remove a prosecutor, instead suggesting that a hint of impropriety, without evidence, is enough to remove her. Trump will use this move every step of every trial if he gets away with it here.

From MSNBC: The Fani Willis courtroom drama was a distraction from the real crime
Defense attorneys failed to prove their claims of prosecutorial misconduct as they sought to help their clients avoid accountability.
Don’t be fooled. The drama televised from a Georgia courtroom into the homes of millions of Americans over the past few weeks is not a serious attempt to clear Donald Trump’s name. Instead, you should see it for what it is: another act of deflection by Trump and his enablers. . . . Under Georgia law, there are two ways a prosecuting attorney can be disqualified from a case: 1) a conflict of interest, or 2) forensic misconduct. The latter has not been alleged and Team Trump has done a terrible job of proving the former even exists. So why are we even here? Because Trump, his former chief of staff, a number of his attorneys and local officials attempted to undo his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
