Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns has some pointed words about a far-right Republican’s fantasy push to impeach Fani Willis in a letter to the GOP caucus.
“Targeting one specific DA in this manner certainly flaunts the idea of separation of powers, if not outright violates it.” 1/

“A select few are calling to defund a duly-elected district attorney of this state and her office in an attempt to interfere with the criminal justice system,” Burns writes of Sen. Colton Moore’s politically impossible call for a special session to oust Willis. #gapol

This is like 2020 all over again as Trump presses Georgia lawmakers to do something that they can’t legally do. Back then, it was overturning the election results. Now it’s calling a special legislative session to oust District Attorney Fani Willis from office. #gapol

Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told me the idea of forcing a legislative session to oust Fani Willis is DOA because impeaching the DA would require … wait for it … significant Democratic support.

Here’s what Georgia Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch told me about these politically impossible calls for a special session that are leading to threats from Trump supporters against GOP lawmakers in Georgia. (TLDR it ain’t happening) #gapol

More: GOP Sen. Bo Hatchett told me what Moore is doing is “a horrible abuse of power.
“He’s using the money he steals from conservatives to attack fellow Republicans — doing nothing but helping the Democrats across the state and putting his conservative colleagues in danger.”
