Oh what a tangled web this is turning out to be. My apologies, of course, to Sir Walter Scott, but can you think of a better quote, that is not filled with profanities to describe our current politics. First, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis files a ton of RICO and other charges against President Donald Trump and 18 others within his sphere. Then, this morning Georgia State Senator Colton Moore has begun the procedures to impeach D.A. Willis. You’re a braver man than most, Colton Moore. Apologies to Rudyard Kipling.
Two days ago:
State Senator Colton Moore is an Auctioneer, Commercial Truck Driver and runs his family’s trucking and bulldozing business. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a double major in International Affairs and Political Science. At age 24, he qualified to run for District One of the Georgia State House. Not too shabby.
D.A. Fani Willis is potentially, allegedly a hack working against justice at the behest of the Democrat/Media Industrial Complex:
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE
Speaker Newt Gingrich joined me this morning and shared a remarkable story. If true, someone from DC called Fani Willis and demanded she indict Trump on Monday. Why? To cover up for the Weiss "screw up."

I totally believe this. Out of nowhere, putting down his auctioneer’s gavel, comes our hero, Colton Moore. From Newsweek:
Georgia Republicans are calling for an emergency legislative session to review the latest indictment against former President Donald Trump.
State Senator Colton Moore asked Governor Brian Kemp in a Thursday letter to call for a special session, urging him to bring Georgia legislators back to the state Capitol to investigate the Trump charges brought on by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Both Moore and Kemp are Republicans. Willis is a Democrat.
Citing the state constitution, Moore told Kemp that “an emergency exists in the in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under [Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b)], for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis.”
Apparently, right after Newt Gingrich, Colton Moore appeared on Charlie Kirk’s show. According to the Washington Examiner, here is the conversation:
Moore, speaking on the Charlie Kirk Show on Thursday, said Willis’s indictment of Trump was “disgusting” and that he would not stand by to allow her to “persecute her political opponent to the tune of the death penalty.”
“We’re in a dire situation. After these indictments came out, I woke up, ate my biscuit, and I was like, ‘Is there a hair in my biscuit?’ I mean, this is disgusting. We have a district attorney using taxpayer money, using her government authority, to persecute her political opponent to the tune of the death penalty,” Moore said.
“I will not be a sitting senator in this state and potentially have the former president be executed in the state of Georgia,” he added.
When asked if he believed other state senators would push to investigate Willis, he said they would join him once they heard from their constituents.
Georgia Men will not tolerate a hair in their biscuits. The letter sent to Georgia Govern Kemp:

Again from the Washington Examiner:
Kemp has remained mostly quiet on Trump’s indictment in the Peach State, opting only to deny the former president’s continued claims of widespread voter fraud in Georgia’s elections in 2020.
Brian Kemp doesn’t want his hands any dirtier than they are, does he? Colton Moore must be extra careful for sticky traps:
I.
“Will you walk into my parlour?” said a spider to a fly;
” ‘Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy.
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many pretty things to shew when you are there.”
“Oh no, no!” said the little fly, “to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”
II.
“I’m sure you must be weary, with soaring up so high,
Will you rest upon my little bed?” said the spider to the fly.
“There are pretty curtains drawn around, the sheets are fine and thin;
And if you like to rest awhile, I’ll snugly tuck you in.”
“Oh no, no!” said the little fly, “for I’ve often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!”
III.
Said the cunning spider to the fly, “Dear friend, what shall I do,
To prove the warm affection I’ve always felt for you?
I have, within my pantry, good store of all that’s nice;
I’m sure you’re very welcome – will you please to take a slice?”
“Oh no, no!” said the little fly, “kind sir, that cannot be,”
I’ve heard what’s in your pantry, and I do not wish to see.”
IV.
“Sweet creature!” said the spider, “you’re witty and you’re wise.
How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I have a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you’ll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself.”
“I thank you, gentle sir,” she said, “for what you’re pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now, I’ll call another day.”
V.
The spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew, the silly fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner, sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the fly.
Then he went out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
“Come hither, hither, pretty fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple – there’s a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead.”
VI.
Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little fly,
Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue:–
Thinking only of her crested head, poor foolish thing! – At last
Up jumped the cunning spider, and fiercely held her fast.
VII.
He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlour – but she ne’er came out again!
– And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.[1]I.
People on the Right will overly praise Colton Moore. Those on the Left will demonize him. Both are spider webs waiting to entrap unsuspecting flies. This needs to be done with precision.

This looks like political revenge. And the sad part is that a lot of people will scream bloody murder because of that – and not all of them for cynical purposes. But there’s no way to stay “above the fray” given the clearly partisan prosecutions against a lot more people than Trump. /sigh/
As the song says, “You’ve got go through hell before you get to heaven.”
Kemp is not about to call a special session. It would run the high risk of the legislators developing the balls to go after the RIGHT target for impeachment – himself.
He would then be replaced by his Lieutenant Governor, who would have a great incentive to clean up the pigsty – seeing that he’s being attacked in the “Michigan Way” – for daring to be a Trump elector.
