from the article:
During a news conference at the Georgia state capitol, Kemp said he does not have the authority to call a special session and he will not back efforts to reprimand Willis.
Kemp also said that until up to now, he has not seen any evidence that warrants any action by the prosecuting attorneys oversight commission. He also said that not only would calling a special session to remove Willis would be unfeasible, but it would also likely be unconstitutional.
"As long as I am governor, we’re going to follow the law and the Constitution, regardless of who it helps or harms politically," Kemp said."
Kemp also said, "In Georgia, we will not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment. We will do what is right. We will uphold our oath to public service. And it is my belief that our state will be better off for it."

Isn't it such a relief and pleasant surprise when a Republican actually acts like a decent human being? It's a sign of how low the party has fallen.

He’s waived arraignment and pled not guilty.
For all the hyperventilating about how this is making him stronger, I’m just not seeing it.
It was never going to make him stronger, which is why his supporters were breathlessly insisting it would. Desperation, you see.

I guess 9:30 am on Wednesday wasn’t a very convenient time for him.

It also undermines Trump's "advice of counsel" argument. Eastman seems to be saying that he didn't counsel Trump and Pence to simply reject the electors from PA, AZ, MI, GA, etc. Instead he is saying that he counseled them to "send it back." But Trump tried to get Pence to just reject them so he didn't even follow the crazy advice Eastman was giving him.
It’s everybody for themselves now. The finger pointing is going to be epic.
But at the end of the day, they are a bunch of sniveling whiners and I hope they are beginning to regret the magnitude of their despicable actions.

DP: The fact that the judge asked is what would make him hopeful, if not happy. But it seems Colorado v. Symes, 286 U.S. 510, 520 (1932), answers that pretty clearly. He has to be able to show that "his relation to the transaction growing out of which he has been indicted ... was confined to his acts as an officer.” The transaction for which he was indicted was not confined to his acts as an officer if all but one (whatever that might have been) were not under the color of that duty.
In any case, as he conceded all of his activities were political, then by definition and by law, none of them were related to his federal office.
Just my quick thoughts.

Really!?!
What can he say? How can he possibly justify this?
And didn’t he refuse to testify in congress? Executive privilege, etc.
As the Miranda warning goes, anything he says can be used against him in a court of law.

Meadows will find it hard to argue his official capacity involves advising the president to call Georgia when he stated on the record that he knew Trump had lost.
How dumb is Meadows? What can he be thinking here? Is he about to flip?
