Trump works every angle
Whatever else, Donald Trump is relentless. He works every angle, tries every door knob and checks every window for an opening no matter how remote the chance:
ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court shot down Donald Trump’s attempt to derail the 2020 Fulton County election investigation in a unanimous dismissal Monday.
The justices wrote that Trump failed to prove the circumstances were extraordinary enough to warrant their interference. The court also ruled that the former president’s legal team didn’t provide the “facts or law” necessary to mandate the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
“(Trump) is asking this Court to step in and itself decide the motions currently pending in the superior court,” the order reads. “This is not the sort of relief that this Court affords, at least absent extraordinary circumstances that (Trump) has not shown are present here.”
But that doesn’t mean he won’t embarrass his attorneys by making them try, spend others’ money and waste still more people’s time.
The two Fulton County grand juries that could hear evidence in the election investigation were sworn in last week. The first grand jury began hearings Monday.
Willis has previously said that potential indictments will come before Sept. 1., but she’s previously hinted that charging decisions will likely happen between July 31 and August 18.
Tick, tick, tick, Donald.
Trump’s feral instincts must be working overtime to get out of the trap. Will he gnaw his own leg off, too?
