Republicans are annoying. Not that Democrats are excellent, and even all that good, however it’s the GOP that has turned the political world right into a petty, infantile, tit-for-tat circus the place reality is irrelevant and grandstanding for the sake of grandstanding is the secret.

Right here’s a easy reality: Donald Trump tried to maintain himself in workplace by spreading election fraud propaganda that has been completely debunked.

We all know that, regardless of the handfuls upon dozens of courts that dismissed Trump’s election fraud lawsuits for lack of proof, Trump stayed on his marketing campaign to lie his means into overturning the election outcomes for months and continues to be at present dying on that delusional hill.

In Georgia, we all know that Trump pressured Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “discover” non-existent votes that will hand the ex-commander-in-would-be-thief a victory within the Peach State that he didn’t earn. We all know that devoted Trump-stump Rudy Giuliani has lastly admitted to creating false statements concerning the Georgia election being rigged by election employees.

But, with all of this straightforward reality, Republicans are nonetheless pretending there couldn’t probably be any advantage to Trump’s RICO indictment introduced on by Fulton County District Legal professional Fani Willis (or the grand jury she satisfied, slightly). Now, Republicans are threatening to take motion towards Willis for—*checks notes*—actually simply doing her job.

From the Atlant Journal-Structure:

Key GOP state legislators wish to use a newly adopted state regulation to research and probably sanction Fulton County District Legal professional Fani Willis. Now U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene might search federal motion.

In an interview in Milwaukee, the place Greene is stumping for an absent Donald Trump forward of tonight’s debate, the Rome Republican mentioned she’s mentioned a probe of Willis with U.S. Home leaders. The Fulton DA is prosecuting the previous president and 18 others for his or her alleged efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election outcomes.

Greene mentioned she’s talked with rating members of the oversight and judiciary committees about an inquiry into the “potential collusion of the Division of Justice” with state district attorneys. She known as it a “major problem.”

Within the immortal phrases of the MAGA cult’s rust-colored overseer: “There was no collusion.” Or at the least none that isn’t unusual between authorized officers.

Extra from AJC:

Willis and DOJ particular counsel Jack Smith every secured indictments towards Trump over a two-week span earlier this month, creating the potential for a parallel-track prosecution of the previous president.

Willis has mentioned she’s not coordinating with Smith, however such discussions would usually happen by the U.S. legal professional’s workplace in Atlanta. Native and federal prosecutors routinely coordinate charging selections, although dueling investigations can complicate high-profile prosecutions.

From the New York Instances:

In earlier instances through which such overlap existed, Justice Division legal professionals have requested to see proof that native prosecutors turned over to the protection legal professionals throughout the discovery course of to keep away from any surprises that would jeopardize their very own case. Native officers aren’t legally required to conform, however usually do, generally in trade for data collected by the federal government.

Waaaaaah? You imply to inform me that Marjorie Taylor Greene—the legislator who can’t inform the distinction between Accomplice monuments and Union monuments and wouldn’t know the reality if it landed squarely within the slender house between her eyes—doesn’t know what she’s speaking about? You don’t say.

Throughout a latest interview with Fox Information, Greene claimed it’s really Willis, not Trump, who’s responsible of RICO crimes.

“What Fani Willis is making an attempt to do is strictly what she is responsible of,” she mentioned. “She’s charging him with RICO.”

Did MTG present any substantial argument for what Willis has executed that ought to have her charged below Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute? After all not. Does MTG even perceive what RICO is? I imply, I wouldn’t be stunned if she thought it was an acronym for Republican Indictments for Caucasians Solely or Actually Icky Communist Operation. (She did name the indictment towards Trump and his 18 alleged co-conspirators “communism” as a result of she additionally doesn’t know what communism is.)

Once more, the GOP is stuffed with grown kids and they’re as aggravating as may be.
