So Donald replaces the DA for Atlanta and by passes the career guy who is suppose to take over with another political flunky. Right after he commits federal felonies on tape and threatens federal legal action against the GA state officials. The FBI is gonna want to talk to the former DA, what did Trump ask him to do? Threaten state officials for him, a call from Trump and a call from the DA? Did he ask the AG or other DOJ officials to call and threaten other Georgia state officials?
Inquiring minds will want to know and some of those minds should be in the FBI, it's ok if they want to wait a couple of weeks before interviewing people, we understand...

Trump replaces U.S. attorney in Atlanta
Trump’s move came after the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, Byung “BJ” Pak, abruptly resigned Monday.
President Donald Trump has replaced the top federal prosecutor in Atlanta with another Trump-appointed prosecutor from southern Georgia, bypassing a top career prosecutor.
Trump’s move came after the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, Byung “B.J.” Pak, abruptly resigned Monday. Justice Department officials have declined to say whether Pak resigned voluntarily or was asked to do so.
U.S. Attorney for Southern District of Georgia Bobby Christine said on his office’s website that he was named as the acting U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Monday “by written order of the President.” Christine, a former state prosecutor and magistrate, has served as the senate-confirmed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, which includes the cities of Savannah and Augusta.
In tapping Christine, Trump bypassed the prosecutor who would normally take over on an acting basis in the event of an emergency or sudden vacancy, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Kurt Erskine.
A White House spokesperson referred questions about the shuffle back to the Department of Justice.
Trump’s installation of a new leader in the U.S. attorney’s office in Georgia’s largest city comes as he continues to rail against the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for failing to move aggressively against what he has baselessly alleged was rampant fraud in the November election in Georgia and in other swing states.
Georgia election officials have rebutted Trump’s claims in detail. In addition, former Attorney General Bill Barr said late last year that he saw no evidence of widespread fraud that could have affected the outcome of the election. Barr declined to appoint a special counsel to investigate such claims before he resigned last month.
U.S. attorneys are typically replaced following a change in presidential administrations and some do leave in advance of the formal transfer of power. Pak had been expected to stay on through Inauguration Day.
Pak’s resignation and Christine’s assignment were first reported by Talking Points Memo, which quoted an internal memo from Pak attributing his hasty departure to “unforeseen circumstances.” As of mid-morning Tuesday, the “Meet the U.S. Attorney” web page that used to contain Pak’s biography simply said “will be added shortly.”
Last June, Barr made an awkward attempt to oust the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Geoffrey Berman, and replace him on an acting basis with the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, Craig Carpenito, who was viewed as more of a Trump loyalist. While Berman was tapped by the administration to take the job on an acting basis, he was never formally nominated to the post.
The attempted reshuffle prompted outrage from prosecutors in Berman’s office, some of whom had investigated Trump, his companies and his allies over campaign finance allegations and other issues. Barr ultimately backed away from the plan to install Carpenito and allowed the career first assistant U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Audrey Strauss, to take the post on an acting basis.

delaying tactic, perhaps? Firing the prosecutor and installing somebody who will need time to get up to speed is a good way to do that. Assuming the FNG will even try, that is.So Donald replaces the DA for Atlanta and by passes the career guy who is suppose to take over with another political flunky. Right after he commits federal felonies on tape and threatens federal legal action against the GA state officials. The FBI is gonna want to talk to the former DA, what did Trump ask him to do? Threaten state officials for him, a call from Trump and a call from the DA? Did he ask the AG or other DOJ officials to call and threaten other Georgia state officials?

Best I can tell, Perdue and Loeffler are running slightly behind Trump in margin. We’re up to 107 counties that have reported 95 percent or more of their expected vote, and if you total up the votes in those places, Trump won them by 25.7 points in November. But Perdue is only up 25.3 points in those places and Loeffler is up 24.8 points. Plenty of votes left to count, but that’s not what the GOP wants, especially as many of these are Republican-leaning places.

Warnock has pulled ahead. Purdue leads by less than 500 votes with 97% reporting.

This shit is far more scary than it is funny. I just vomited into my mouth thinking long neck will get voted in and sign on with the other treasonous senators. You have to admit Cruz has a great strategy for any future presidential aspirations. The asswipe is going to pick up 75 million Trump supporters without even buying airtime.

Democrats won by the thinnest of margins. Stacy Abrams is a national hero. She got it right when she set up a campaign to register previously non-voters and funded a staff of lawyers to break legal barriers to them casting votes.

Most of the votes remaining to be counted strongly favor Democrats -- urban districts, mail in ballots, drop boxes and such. The remaining votes to be counted in Decalb contain enough democratic party votes to give Ossoff the win. Democrats have won. All that remains are Republicans crying that they were ahead before all the votes were counted, therefore fraud.
But Democrats won both seats today. Sweet.

I don't think so. trump has been losing a lot of followers since the election, his behavior towards the democratic process has been a deal breaker for many of his smarter supporters. To support trumps post election behavior is a career ender IMO. People will like him even less when he loses immunity from prosecution on the 20th.

Yes, I think that is the case. But I just heard they are going to stop counting for tonight. Will be tomorrow before we know for sure.
