Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is playing hardball with any of the 19 racketeering defendants in the 2020 election fraud trail.  She’s filed a motion asking the court to hold all the defendants in the trial to the deadlines set for the “speedy trial” date of October 23rd Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee set for Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro.

Willis is pushing the defendants to make up their mind:  If they want a speedy trial, they’ll all have to adhere to the schedule set for the Chesebro case and they will all be tried together considering none of them has yet made a motion to sever their cases from each other or from Donald Trump.  Even if they don’t request a speedy trial, Willis appears to want the court to order all the defendants to adhere to the filing dates for the Chesebro trial.

“Further, if the Court’s intention indeed was to sever Defendant Chesebro’s trial from the other Defendants, because Defendant Chesebro has not filed a motion to sever and because the Court has held no hearing on a motion to sever, the State of Georgia respectfully requests that the Court set aside its Case Specific Scheduling Order entered on August 24, 2023, to the extent that the Order states, ‘[a]t this time, these deadlines do not apply to any co-defendant.’ The State of Georgia further respectfully requests that the Court set a deadline for any Defendant wishing to file a motion to sever, allow the parties, including the State of Georgia, sufficient time to brief the severance issue, and hold a hearing on any filed motion to sever so that the Court may consider the factors set forth in Cain and its progeny, as required by Georgia law.”
