of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Jan. 4, 2021, and comments made during December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings on the election.

Willis’ office has tried to interview multiple witnesses and gather evidence, but some witnesses and prospective witnesses have refused to cooperate without a subpoena, she wrote in the letter to Brasher. For example, Willis wrote in the letter that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom she calls an “essential witness,” has “indicated that he will not participate in an interview or otherwise offer evidence until he is presented with a subpoena by my office.

Special grand juries, which are not used often in Georgia, can help in the investigation of complex matters. They do not have the power to return an indictment but can make recommendations to prosecutors on criminal prosecutions.

What’s taking so long? I’m sure this isn’t “new” tactic! Get off your arse and do something Georgia faithful!! Do you value your democracy or what? Act like it! ACT!

It’s a good idea to have the Georgia prosecutor investigate possible 2020 election interference by former Pres. Trump (and others) with a special grand jury that has subpoena power for uncooperative witnesses. Truth is good to seek - a worthy goal. (Remember the 10 Commandments.)

Looks like a fishing expedition.

Here it is on tape

And what about lindsey graham?

USA is unique in so many ways, but the worst unique qualification comes now from being the only First World country whose own President sent domestic terrorists to attack the Capitol during the election results certification, in order to make him the first Dictator Made in USA.

SamWangPhD For those who have not yet read the room : destroy or be destroyed.. trump or America This is how high the stakes are..

gtconway3d 🙏🙏🙏

This day gets better and better. 🤣😂😅😁

gtconway3d Hop they don't forget about Linsey!

Will this include Lindsay?

Maybe they need to check out the Biden family, too. You k ow how they swept that laptop under the rug. Why is it that they always wanna goose chase the other side but don’t feel the rules apply to them?

I’m sure there is a dossier manufactured by some liberal to use as “evidence” to get the grand jury.

Supeona the biden administration and all the workers at the polling center blocking? Supeona the machine makers too

Justice seems to move at a snail’s pace for blatant criminals in the US

Donald Trump is not having a good week.

Should have been done last year

We all heard the phone call. Dude tried to “find” just enough votes out of nowhere 🤦🏻‍♂️ He’s already guilty

Georgia DA asks for special grand jury in election probeThe Georgia prosecutor looking into possible attempts to interfere in the 2020 general election by former President Donald Trump and others has asked for a special grand jury to aid the investigation. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday sent a letter to Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Christopher Brasher asking him to impanel a special grand jury. Willis has declined to speak about the specifics of her investigation, but in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month she confirmed that its scope includes — but is not limited to — a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a November 2020 phone call between U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Raffensperger, the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Jan. 4, 2021, and comments made during December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings on the election.
