NEW: Judge gives Fulton County DA Fani Willis an extra two weeks to respond to Donald Trump's motion to essentially shut down any prosecution of post-2020 election interference after a fake elector joined the motion last week.
Last month, Trump's Georgia attorneys filed a sweeping motion seeking to:
-quash the semi-public special purpose grand jury final report
-prevent *any* prosecutors from using *any* evidence gathered by SPGJ
-disqualify Fulton DA from prosecution
That motion was joined last week by Cathy Latham, who was both a fake elector and involved with a scheme that led to unauthorized access to voting equipment in Coffee County.
Latham is one of 10 GOP electors that were until recently repped by the same attorney, and DA Fani Willis is seeking to disqualify that attorney based on *very* recent interviews where some allegedly accused a fellow elector of breaking state law.
All of this legal posturing about what can/can't be used and who can/can't be prosecuted comes as Fulton DA's office says final charging decisions for Trump and his allies' failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election will come mid-July at the earliest.

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.

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.
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.
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!
