Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a complaint asking for the disbarment of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her relationship with a prosecutor she hired for her Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

On social media, Greene said she was filing the complaint to disbar Willis "for her corrupt actions."

Willis "should've been removed from her political persecution of President Trump after it was revealed she went on lavish vacations with her lover Nathan Wade," Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

"The lover she paid HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars! Unfit to serve!"

I'm so sick of American drama. It killed my ability to give a shit about humanity.

As an American, so are we

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 63 points 3 months ago

That's RIGHT! FANI WILLIS is Corrupt for Dating her coworker but AILEEN CANON is VERY GOODLY even though Trump appointed her and she's literally REWRITING LAW to Help him!

From everything I've read/heard about this, it does sound like a bit of a nothing burger. Overblown for political ends. But I think saying "coworker" is a bit intellectually dishonest. A big part of the allegation is that they were involved, and then she hires him. Concerns of abuse of power, misuse of funds, and conflicts of interest. The judge's ruling seems fair. To opponents, dismissing it in this way has the appearance of strawmanning. If you already have a strong argument, you only hurt your position long run

Don't feed the troll. MTG that is.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 months ago

That's offensive to trolls everywhere.

[-] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It's how she got popular in her district

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 8 points 3 months ago

The district of under the bridge?

[-] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 7 points 3 months ago

That is an apt description of her district.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

In a van down by the river

[-] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Too right! I still remember her before she got to her current position, when she was harassing AOC through the mail-slot on her office door. I remember thinking "Why do her constituents love this?" It's been a long, weird road

[-] ech@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I bet she doesn't even have Regenerate. Such a poser.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

One way to test it

[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'm all for science, but I don't want to risk her coming back. The safest plan is to use fire and acid. I don't know if it's necessary, but fire and acid will finish off all manner of villains.

Every time I want to see something about Magic The Gathering, I just get disappointed.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 27 points 3 months ago

I'm glad it's MTG so I don't have to worry that it might be a serious matter to concern myself about.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

I move to just drop MTG somewhere in the Gaza Strip and hopes she gets hit by a Jewish space laser.

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Nah, drop her in the Serengeti. She'll get recycled properly.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Not even Hamas or IDF would want to assault her.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Maybe... We have what we need for peace. Ceasefire or MTG.

[-] Marthirial@lemmings.world 12 points 3 months ago

Why Democrats don't make this clown the poster child of the last throes GOP is puzzling.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

If they win too many seats they won't be able to justify how gobsmackingly ineffective they are.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

Sometimes I wish the CIA would lower their standards for targets.

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 6 points 3 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Republican congresswoman wrote in a complaint filed with the State Bar of Georgia on Wednesday that she was "requesting an investigation of Fani Willis, her suspension, and her disbarment," Bloomberg News reported.

Wade offered his resignation hours after McAfee's ruling, saying in a letter to Willis that he was doing so "in the interest of democracy, in dedication to the American public and to move this case forward as quickly as possible."

Defense attorneys alleged that Wade was paid large sums for his work on the case that Willis improperly benefited when he used his earnings to pay for trips for them.

Greene's complaint is yet another effort by Trump allies to discredit the most sprawling of four criminal cases against the former president, who is now the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 election.

The original article contains 546 words, the summary contains 208 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

She nears, folly's dance,
Feet with no toes, our leaders,
Lacking in advance.

[-] youngGoku@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

MTG is so toxic.
