Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said that the “political theater” of a special session to potentially impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will not occur, despite the strong desire on behalf of some statewide conservative officials.

Willis led the investigation that recently resulted in the fourth indictment of former President Donald Trump, who, along with 18 other allies and associates, has been charged with conspiracy charges related to Georgia’s electoral results in the 2020 election. Trump faces 13 of the 41 total charges, including a purported violation of the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, commonly used to prosecute crime gangs.

Earlier this month, Republican State Senator Colton Moore called on Kemp to declare an emergency session to investigate and potentially impeach Willis directly in relation to her approximate 2-and-a-half-year investigation that he claims could ultimately spark a “civil war.”

“We have a law in the state of Georgia that clearly outlines the legal steps that can be taken if constituents believe their local prosecutors are violating their oath by engaging in unethical or illegal behavior,” Kemp said on Wednesday.

    Oh cool, so now Kemp is black balled too. Who’s the next yes-man meat head loser the GOP will hoist up to run Georgia? The cracks are already showing, it would be entertaining if they didn’t take everyone else down in their BS.
