Georgia Republicans are trying to undermine a community’s ability to elect its local prosecutors by giving the Republican-dominated state government the power to fire any elected prosecutors at its will, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Shitting their pants after a special grand jury likely recommended indictment for state GOP leaders as well as national criminals like bumbling archvillain Rudy Giuliani, Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and career criminal Donald Trump.
With Fulton County District Attorney, a Black woman who holds the fate of the 2024 hopeful in her hands which must piss off the Old Boy network of the Georgia GOP to no end, likely to drop indictments soon, Georgia Republicans passed a bill through the state house and state senate that would establish a five-person board with people appointed by the Republican governor, the Republican lt. governor, the Republican Senate leader, the Republican House leader, and some guy, probably Black, so Repubicans can claim its legitimate. The Party bosses will then appoint their lackeys to fire anyone they think is getting too close to their political friends, fundraisers, or fundraising activities. It also has the added bonus disenfranchising Black voters further, because only the people the white Republican board members approve of may sit in a seat of power.
