The beat goes on. A Republican Georgia state senator Colton Moore wants to impeach the Atlanta area district attorney for bringing charges against the former president. I sent the following email to the Senator.

“As an independent and former Republican voter who went to Georgia State University and whose parents grew up in Georgia, your position to try to impeach Ms. Fani Willis is highly disappointing.

With the latest and perhaps most detailed charges against the former US president and eighteen of his collaborators, I am long past weary of too many Republican elected officials telling their constituents that the system is out to get Donald Trump. There is only one constant in this equation – he is the guy who has earned this scrutiny. He is the guy who looks back at the former president from the mirror when he shaves.

I have shared the following theme with staff of several of these elected officials. The message they need to impart is simple. ‘These are serious charges against the former president. We must get to the bottom of this.’

The other message I add to the staff is if we find the former president guilty of any of these charges, we cannot have him in the White House. Full stop. It truly matters not what party he is in.

Your constituents may not like this, but that is what this independent and former Republican thinks.”

We must get to the bottom of this.*

*Note: Since I put this post together this morning, I saw where some of the more extreme followers of the former president have threatened violence against some of the grand jury members for daring to try to hold the former president accountable for breaking the law. This is simply dangerous and asinine. I called the Georgia governor Brian Kemp, who did say earlier this week Trump lost in Georgia in 2020, to beseech him to condemn the violence and reiterate what I said above. Let me speak plainly – the lack of accountability and responsibility of the former president has led us down this path. He is not adult enough to admit he lost. His petty whiny behavior has endangered Americans. As his niece Mary said in November, 2020, her uncle “would burn it all down to avoid losing the election.” How many people have to go to prison for his followers to see what is obvious. Not only is Donald Trump an election loser, he is “sore loser.”
