Coup plotters in Congress?

  Prosecuting Trump is the priority of special counsel Jack Smith. But when Trump’s trials are over, the DOJ should investigate Chuck Grassley and other senators and representatives who appeared to be “in the know” about the plan to replace Mike Pence with “Chuck Grassley or another senior Republican.”

          Indeed, the efforts of the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee to “investigate” (read: interfere with) the Georgia prosecution and defund special counsel Jack Smith may be driven by the fear of other members of Congress that their complicity in the coup will be exposed. The GOP Chair of the Judiciary Committee has asked for documents from Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis and special counsel Jack Smith.

          D.A. Fani Willis sent a scathing response to Jim Jordan on Thursday. See The Hill, Willis accuses Jordan of ‘illegal intrusion’ into Georgia Trump prosecution in scathing letter.

The original letter is here: 2023-09-07 Ltr Willis to Jordan.
