STORY: Fulton DA Fani Willis is seeking to remove a lawyer from representing 10 Georgia Republicans who served as fake 2020 electors for Donald Trump after several of them allegedly accused a fellow elector of breaking state law last week. #gapol

The filing also allege the attorney also failed to notify her clients of potential immunity deals that prosecutors offered last summer + comes as charging decisions are expected soon in the sweeping investigation into Trump-led effort to overturn 2020.

The DA's filing reveals that as recently as last week, her office interviewed some of the fake electors + some said that another elector represented by the same lawyer "committed acts that are violations of Georgia law" and they weren't a part of that.

Practically speaking, DA Fani Willis argues that the new information means the 10 electors Debrow represents are no longer similarly situated, and creates a conflict of interest that means she can not ethically represent any of the electors anymore.

Also, the DA's office says that some of the 10 fake electors that Kimberly Debrow represents said they were never offered potential immunity, despite co-counsel telling the court none of them were interested.

Important to note, this attorney does *not* represent GAGOP chair David Shafer, who's a likely target of future indictments, or Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who isn't under investigation after DA was disqualified.

NPR gets ~2% of its money from federal grants, a few million dollars, and it’s editorially independent.

Also, an outlet like Voice of America is literally US-funded media and has no label.

It’s not about facts, it’s just capitalizing on poor media literacy to prove a point.

Linking to facts about NPR’s funding source isn’t going to change the minds of the people pushing/cheering for this, because they’re not operating in good faith.

It’s similar to people who hate The Media when they actually mean something specific.

Will this label change anything about how NPR operates as an independent media org? Probably not.

Will it affect the views of people who consume NPR (or complain about XYZ thing on NPR)? Probably not.

Is it instructive about our current media/political sphere? Absolutely.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just spoke at a protest in Manhattan, said Trump was innocent (of charges that nobody has seen), in a crowded area that was overwhelmingly media + that was only heard on cameras because she was drowned out IRL by some counterprotestors. #gapol

Rep. Greene said nothing she hasn't said before, there really wasn't a need for most of those cameras/people to turn it into a pushing/shoving media circus, we still don't know what the charges are and everyone's blowing smoke but hey, it's content!

I will be doing one (1) ~45 second audio newscast story about Georgia politicians' reactions pre- and post-arraignment because who is speaking out/what they say is worth covering, just not like the chaos others are manifesting!
