Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday nixed a request by congressional investigators for documents related to her office’s correspondence with special counsel Jack Smith.

The denial is the latest indication the Peach State prosecutor intends to move forward with her racketeering (RICO) prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump. In fact, in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan, Willis says she is still committed to the long-stalled effort targeting the 45th and 47th president.

Earlier this month, in a letter dated Dec. 4, the Ohio Republican gave the Georgia Democrat a tight deadline of Dec. 9, to turn over documents related to her and her office’s discussions with various federal authorities about criminal investigations into Trump. That deadline has now, of course, whooshed right on by. And Willis, for her part, does not seem too concerned about missing the cutoff.

“In that letter, you once again request information related to an ongoing prosecution for violations of Georgia law,” the prosecutor’s response reads. “After consultation with legal counsel, I wish to once again state my position, which has remained unchanged after a year of thoughtful correspondence between our offices. I cannot disclose documents that would compromise an ongoing investigation and prosecution by my office. Therefore, I cannot produce the documents requested by the House Judiciary Committee.”

1. You go, Fani!!!

[Buns_of_Fire]

2. "Therefore, I cannot produce the documents..." is a nice, tactful way

of saying "Go pound sand, fuzznuts."

3. I still love the time that Willis pointed out the Gym Jordan is not a member of the bar

DA Fani Willis has responded to Gym Jordan's request for information. Gym never passed or took the bar exam even though he is the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. This shade really made me smile

4. Look who's applying to be Trump's hatchet man.

He'll run whatever he can find to Elon like a Golden Retriever fetching the paper.
He's not done trying to find evidence that they can use for retribution. Good boy!

5. Love you, Fani!

6. ball's in your court now Gym

I'm quite sure he's going to be slinking off for a while to read that RICO book and avoid further embarrassment.

8. And she handily won re-election in November

(against a Trump attorney, no less), so she’ll be in office until at least January 2029. 😎

9. "VIOLATES CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES"

Brief Summation of Trumps Reign for the next whatever.

10. Good for her

In this climate, her bravery and refusal to roll for lawless enablers is remarkable!

[KS Toronado]

11. Can Willis move forward while he's president

or will she have to wait until he's out of office?

[BumRushDaShow]

12. I guess that's up to the courts

(state and/or federal)

I think she plans on moving forward until ordered to stop.

"the ethical obligations of attorneys generally and prosecutors specifically." "
