Georgia DA Fani Willis Blindsided - Republicans Just Crushed Her Plans

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and it looks like

former President Donald Trump and his Republican friends in Georgia have a big move up their

sleeve if they can pull it off. That might really mean that DA Fannie Willis is doing all of this for nothing

So Nicole Wallace of MSNBC was beside herself, as was the good Reverend Al Sharpton, who

never met a case he didn't think was something he could profit off of

So they were talking on MSNBC and they were just, what's the word, they were horrified

They were horrified at the idea that Republicans are looking to change the rules for pardons

in Georgia because that would prevent DA Fannie Willis from putting Trump behind bars

And you know, those Democrats, they do hate to change the rules late in the game

Oh no, wait, that's the time in 2020 where they changed the rules on

You know what, never mind. Let's take a look at this. ...then change and break the rules

Clearly unable to argue the actual merits of Donald Trump's conduct as laid out in the

indictment in Georgia. Republicans there are now seeking to stop, by any means possible, District Attorney Fannie Willis

One state senator yesterday sent a letter to Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp

demanding he convene an emergency special session for, quote, the review and response

to the actions of the DA. There have also been calls for a literal change to the state's rules as they relate to pardons

specifically the governor's ability to absolve Trump of his crimes should he be convicted

by a jury of his peers. As anti-democratic as all those steps would be, the good news is, at least as we sit here

today, it is very unlikely that any of those measures would be successful

But again, that we're talking about them at all tells you everything you need to know

about Trump's guilt and Trump's party. Joining our panel, president of the National Action Network and host of Politics Nation

here on MSNBC, the Rev. Al Sharpton. Rev, to me, there's something so clear in this tell that I don't know if they intend

or just it's a default setting that they know he's not innocent because many of the crimes

he's now been charged with committing, he committed in full view or in the case of the

Raffensperger call on a call that was being recorded. What do you make of the fact that as as one of the two major parties in the country, there's

no consequence for changing the rules? I think that it is something that is extremely troubling that the

Now in Georgia, you have to understand the governor doesn't have absolute pardon power

not like other states. He can't just pardon you because you apply for a pardon

You can't even apply for a pardon until you serve the minimum portion of your minimum sentence

So it's different. There's also a board that has to meet and recommend the pardon

It's a whole big thing. Whether he's a Republican governor or not, and even though it's Brian Kemp who has his

issues with Donald Trump, it would probably still be good politics for him to issue the

pardon if he could. But this to change the rules, unlikely to happen, unfortunately, because they're going

to need a good portion of Democrats and some anti-Trump Republicans to actually get on

board with this to change the rules. And even if that happens, they got to get anti-Trump Governor Brian Kemp to sign that legislation

So that could be a big, big roadblock for this whole case

Folks, let me know what you think about it. Should the rules be changed

Should Trump be pardoned? Is this just a witch hunt at this point

Let me know in the comments. Also, please remember to like, share, and subscribe, because that really helps us out
