Well, it’s about time. Thanks to Republican Senators in Georgia, a new state law designed to reign in rogue prosecutors is being utilized as grounds to file a compliant against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. This decision comes after Willis has pursued an indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 other co-defendants over the 2020 election.
This group of eight Republican senators in the state have taken aim at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis by filing a complaint against her under a new state law. The law is designed to rein in rogue prosecutors, and the complaint accuses Willis of pursuing “improperly cherry-picked cases to further her personal political agenda”.

The Senate Bill 92, which was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp this past May, creates the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission that can impose sanctions or remove district attorneys for various offenses including willful misconduct and persistent failure to follow the law.
In addition to Majority Leader Steve Gooch and State Senator Jason Anavitarte, who chairs Georgia’s majority caucus, six other GOP senators filed the complaint on October 1st – hours after it took effect.
The complaint does not specifically mention former President Trump’s case but it does refer to Willis’ decision to empanel a special grand jury “to investigate her political adversaries” as well as an increase in deaths at Fulton County Jail – both of which are linked to her decision regarding Trump’s case.
Meanwhile Governor Kemp – who has become a fierce rival of former President Donald Trump after the 2020 election – stated that while he hasn’t seen any evidence of misconduct on behalf of Willis yet. He believes that questions about timing remain valid: “It may be a political action she’s taken in some ways, with timing and other things, but it doesn’t mean it’s illegal,” said Kemp according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution report.
