Fulton County, Georgia, District Lawyer Fani Willis secretly colluded with the one-sided, Democrat-run January 6 Committee to acquire ideas that will assist her prosecute Donald Trump — and tried to maintain it out of court docket, and public view, utilizing a procedural trick.
The revelation may upend the prosecution of Trump and 18 co-defendants as a result of the proof was hid to maintain it away from discovery necessities that will permit protection legal professionals to see what was shared, and the extent of the collaboration.
Politico reported Wednesday:
Committee employees quietly met with legal professionals and brokers working for Fulton County District Lawyer Fani Willis in mid-April 2022, simply as she ready to convene a particular grand jury investigation. Within the beforehand unreported assembly, the Jan. 6 committee aides let the district lawyer’s group evaluate — however not maintain — a restricted set of proof that they had gathered.
…
The committee aided Willis’ nascent probe even because it rebuffed the Justice Division’s requests for materials within the separate federal prison probe of Trump’s election subversion. On the time, one purpose the committee was extra inclined to cooperate with the Fulton County group than with the federal prosecutors was that federal prosecutors might need been required to reveal the proof in ongoing prison circumstances associated to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.
…

The legal professionals from the January 6 Committee shared proof with Willis when she was convening a “particular function grand jury,” previous to the prison grand jury. Since there have been no defendants, Politico notes, there might be no protection motions for discovery.
