And it's entirely unconstitutional for Congress to be meddling in the criminal case brought by a state under its own state laws.
"Collusion" LOL
It's called "sharing evidence of crimes", and it happens routinely between federal and state entities. As well as local enforcement entities.
@CharlieKirk was pitiful. The guy who bussed in terrorists.
This could go in many threads, but Kenneth Cheesebro is making the rounds. He's been in Nevada, and in Arizona.
LOL at all the MAGA scum. The lawyer is flipping on you. Have fun in prison while he's working for some Federalist think tank.

Hard to believe a woman who did PR work for Kanye and R. Kelly is crazy enough to violate a bond agreement.
Mark Meadows had a bad day in court. His appeal to move his trial to federal court was denied.
The opinion was 3-0, and written by Mark Pryor, a very conservative judge.
The appeal was denied on the very next business day after it was filed.

Trump is playing on of his favorite victim cards. The, "I'm a victim of racism", card.

Willis can't open her mouth without trying call someone racist at this point.
Don't **** your help, seems simple. Don't pay for your help to take trips on tax payer dollars while f.ucking them. Seems easier. That dumb bitch cooked.
No she isn't. She won't be removed from office because the Governor and other republicans are wanting her to complete the case against Trump. Trump pushed hard in Georgia, and its one of the few groups of Republicans that are truly pushing back. Trump is not doing well in any of his cases. Maybe he can win 1 or 2.
The big issue is when are these going to be decided. If they aren't decided before the election and he wins, then can't he just get rid of the charges?
The irony of MAGA world losing their minds over the allegations levied against Fani Willis coupled with claims that DT Barnum is, yet again, a "victim" is awfully rich.
How is he going to get rid of State convictions if the governor is unwilling to pardon him?
The governor of GA has no power to pardon him.
That power is held by an independent Board.
Whichever state you are in, you are either looking at the governor or other set up. What was discussed before is Trump could just pardon himself. That wouldn't occur in the case.
And, any of this outside stuff, not good if true, has no effect on the evidence and charges in the case. nothing, nada, zilch.
A Reality Check on the Fani Willis Scandal
Is Trump’s Georgia prosecution about to get derailed?Some prosecutors respond to allegations of misconduct in court. Fani Willis responded in church.
That is just one of the many deeply strange elements of a burgeoning scandal concerning the Fulton County district attorney, who rose to national prominence last year after filing state criminal charges in Georgia against Donald Trump over his efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results. Willis is now fending off salacious allegations of impropriety by a Trump ally that threaten to derail the proceedings temporarily — and perhaps, in a worst-case scenario, even permanently.
In a recent appearance before Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, Willis barely addressed the substance of the allegations — more on those shortly — but chose instead to frame them largely as a racially motivated attack. The judge overseeing the case recently directed Willis to respond to the allegations in a court filing by Feb. 2, with a hearing scheduled on the matter for Feb. 15. Meanwhile, many of Willis’ once-very-vocal legal and political supporters appear to be going easy on her — largely staying quiet, keeping their heads down as the silence grows increasingly awkward and perhaps hoping (wrongly) that this will all somehow go away.
The technical legal phrase for the situation is “a mess,” and Willis’ handling of it is making it much worse.
At a bare minimum, she owes her constituents and the American public a much more direct and fulsome explanation of the facts than she has provided in the weeks since the allegations emerged. In today’s choose-your-news world, here’s the reality: It’s far too soon for Trump supporters to claim victory, but if you are someone who is eager to see the former president face accountability in a Georgia courtroom for his alleged election subversion, you have good reason to be worried.
The allegations are far from clear-cut, but here are the basic outlines: Earlier this month, a lawyer for Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants in the case, filed a motion claiming that Willis and lead prosecutor Nathan Wade have been having a romantic relationship. Willis hired Wade, a private sector lawyer who appears to have limited experience working on complex criminal matters, and he has reportedly been paid more than $600,000 for his work on the prosecution.
The motion asserts that Wade and Willis have been taking vacations using the fees that Wade has been paid and argues that Willis and Wade have been “profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.” The motion also claims that the two may have committed federal crimes, citing a law known as the honest-services fraud statute.
As a lawyer, I feel compelled to note before we go further that this filing itself was extremely unusual and arguably ran afoul of some serious ethical rules and professional norms itself. For one thing, the motion did not provide factual support for key claims — even in the form of declarations from witnesses, which could have been filed under seal. These circumstances alone suggest that we should be careful about simply taking all of the claims at face value, though of course that is what some in Trump world have already been doing.

Attack the DA. Their only defense... which isn't suprising when you did illegal things.
It’s irrelevant to Trump’s and others’ cases, but she’s an idiot for thinking this was ok.
Sure but of course they put all their energy here. Poor judgement but a nothing burger to the case.
Yep when clearly guilty of said crimes for sure.
Trump 101, smear the other side, and Roman seems to have learned this well. If the facts are going to send you to prison, make it about the black lady lawyer.
His argument is the stretch of all stretches.
But let’s not pretend Willis didn’t royally screw up here.
