Monday marks the opening of the three-week window Fani Willis set for a potential decision on whether former President Donald Trump should face charges over his alleged conduct after the 2020 election.

District Attorney Fani Willis warned Fulton County commissioners this weekend they should “stay alert” over the next month, according to emails obtained by CBS News.

    She pointed to a threatening email she received last week with a subject line reading, “Fani Willis = Corrupt N*****.” The body of the email said, “You are going to fail, you Jim Crow Democrat removed.”

    Willis said the message was “pretty typical” of what her office has been receiving and said she is aware of “equally ignorant voicemails” that have come into the county office and to her own office. She said she expects more over the next month. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported Wills’ warning to the county commissioners.

        They see their GEOTUS being held accountable for his crimes as a transgression against their race, and all the “wokeness” as just as much of a civil rights issue as when people were subjugated based on the color of their skin. Add in the fact that the Democrats were the racist party 100+ years ago, and you get the tortured logic that Democrats now are just as bad as they were then.

          Or maybe he’s living 1850s racism and considers Jim Crow racism too new and progressive.

          Or he’s just a moron.

        Exactly. Tolerance is a two way street. It is not a doormat to do whatever the fuck you want with my rights and I have to take it

                Out of an abundance of caution?

                The article doesn’t provide any such threat being made. I’m not saying there weren’t threats made, I’m saying I don’t know, because the article doesn’t provide that information.

                Why are you being a cunt? Does the article list any threats or does it not? Can you read?

                I’m not defending these assclowns. I don’t support racist idiots. I’m just pointing out that there aren’t any threats being made in the article, and the US has strong free speech laws - you’re allowed to call people racist names if you want to, it’s a protected right to do so. If any of these dumb fucks threatened the DA, then yes that is a punishable offense.

                  Just because you didn’t get to read it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t threatening.

                  Yeah, I’m being a cunt (your words) because you seem to be seallioning.

                  These are credible and you just seem to want to downplay it.

                  So glasses or a lesson in context clues?

                    I’m not downplaying anything lmao. You’re reading so hard into my comments trying to find something that isn’t there.

                    I was questioning what people would be charged for, because the quotes in the article are not chargeable.

                    I’ll say it again because you clearly are having a tough time comprehending - if threats were made, those people should be charged with a crime.
