Georgia State Senator Looks To Impeach DA
In a move that shocked many, Georgia state Senator Colton Moore (R) took the first step towards impeaching Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday, exclusively reported by Breitbart News. Sen. Moore has initiated a letter to Gov. Brian Kemp (R) to begin an emergency session to investigate the actions taken by Willis against former President Donald Trump.
The 13 charges Trump faces, which may result in a maximum 76.5-year sentence, have been called "one-sided." Trump has promised to fight the charges, and Sen. Moore's initiative is the first step in what may end up being a long legal process.
"We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis," Moore said in a statement. "As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis. America is under attack. I'm not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors weaponize their elected offices to politically target their opponents."
In order for the emergency session to take place, 3/5 of both the legislative chambers must sign onto a letter demanding a review of Willis's actions. Sen. Moore's letter already has his signature, and it remains to be seen if other members of the state legislature will sign on.
If the emergency session is indeed approved, it could lead to defunding Willis's investigation of Trump and/or the possible impeachment of the District Attorney.
Cliff Maloney, a veteran political operator who runs "America First Georgia" campaigns, has shown his support for Sen. Moore in this endeavor.
"Finally, a leader who is stepping up and fighting back against the epidemic of corrupt District Attorneys that are drunk on power," Maloney said. "Colon Moore is an absolute patriot. He must win this battle and I encourage every liberty-loving American to support him."
As of now, the Sen. Moore's efforts have been limited to his letter to Gov. Kemp. It could take weeks, months, or even longer for a response to his call to action. In the meantime, it is unclear how far the proceedings against Trump will progress.
No matter how long it takes, it is clear that Sen. Moore's efforts will have an impact on how the former President is sentenced—or even if he is acquitted at all. This will be a story to watch closely in the coming months as more information and analysis come to light.
