Fulton DA Fani Willis tells @maddow the criminal investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn Georgia’s election “seems that it will go past just this one phone call” to Secretary of State Raffensperger. #gapol
Willis: “What I know about investigations is they're kind of like peeling back an onion. And as you go through each layer, you learn different things. To be a responsible prosecutor, you must look at all those things in an investigation, to be fair to everyone involved.” #gapol
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is about to become the most watched local prosecutor in the nation. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

Georgia Republicans are preparing for a potential rematch between @GovKemp and @StaceyAbrams with the launch today of a “Stop Stacey” group aimed at thwarting her likely 2022 bid. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
The group was formed by allies of Kemp and former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler even before she’s announced whether she’ll run again, a sign of deep concern among Republicans about the threat she poses to the first-term governor next year. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
.@staceyabrams' top aide responds: "Rather than a desperate distraction, perhaps they can #StartServingGeorgians." #gapol

Georgia lawmaker booted from chamber for failing to get COVID-19 test #gapol ajc.com/politics/georg…
State @RepDavidTClark tells me he’s considering legal action after he was booted from the Georgia House for failing to take a coronavirus test —
and that he plans to return tomorrow. #gapol
From House Speaker David Ralston’s spokesman:
“The member will be allowed to return upon complying with the policy for the safety of all those who have to come to the Capitol.
 
This is about preventing the spread of a disease that has killed more than 12,000 Georgians.” #gapol

@Ossoff will be sworn in using a book of Hebrew scripture once owned by Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, who led Atlanta’s historic synagogue The Temple...”
The rabbi was a key MLK ally who encouraged ATL’s Jewish community to fight for civil rights and oppose hate & intolerance. #gasen
Rothschild’s synagogue was bombed in ‘58 by white supremacists angered by his opposition to segregation; it was a turning point in ATL. Civic leaders rallied behind him, and Jewish Atlantans who were wary of getting involved in politics woke up. the-temple.org/bombing
You can draw a line between Rothschild’s leadership during the civil rights era and @ossoff’s election this month as the first Jewish US senator in Georgia history — not just symbolically. Ossoff earned his bar mitzvah from The Temple about 20 years ago. #gapol #gasen

More jolt: Rep. @NikemaWilliams has filed a bill that would bar Trump from stepping foot inside the U.S. Capitol ever again. “President Trump has shown time and time again that he is a danger to our democracy and a threat to the country.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
