What is the number one issue for you in this next election . We need to stop spending money on unnecessary excursion endeavors. What you mean .

Theres a lot of issues right now but the most important is the deep state just seeing ever since trump was elected in 2016 how adamant they been to go after him and political opponents.

Willis has been investigating trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. Her investigation appears to have quite a bit in common with the federal case being brought by Special Counsel jack smith in washington, d. C. The case in georgia may prove to be different than dak smith s case in one very meaningful way. To understand that, we have to go back to 1979.
