Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis tore into House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday in a searing letter accusing the Ohio Republican of trying to obstruct her criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

“There is no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter, as you attempt to do,” Willis wrote in the nine-page retort to Jordan, whose committee last month launched a probe into the district attorney’s prosecution of Trump.

    “Here is another reality you must face: Those who wish to avoid felony charges in Fulton County, Georgia — including violations of Georgia RICO law — should not commit felonies in Fulton County, Georgia,” Willis wrote.

    Damn.

      ‘Moreover, “investigations conducted solely for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to ‘punish’ those investigated are indefensible.”’

      man, I dunno if she’s gonna get a conviction, but this is definitely going to be the Watergate of this century, the defining political shitshow for a generation. And it’s gonna be fantastic to watch.

        The only way this doesn’t end in a conviction is if a Magat ends up on the jury.

        Fuck, that’s pretty likely, isn’t it?
