Push Notification

CNN reports a federal judge blocked a grand jury subpoena for information about 2020 election workers in Georgia, which amounts to a hard rebuff to the Justice Department’s investigation into how the election was handled in the Atlanta-area.

But MAGA is furious at the legal drop-kick of one of the arguments buttressing Trump’s fragile claims of 2020 election tampering in Georgia.

“I’m not even surprised anymore,” posted one MAGA account with a history of racism.

“It never ends,” lamented another conservative X account speaking on the federal judges slate of Trump betrayals.

“This feels like judicial overreach,” complained another.

CNN reports The Georgia election “had been a frequent target of President Donald Trump’s election-rigging claims,” but US District Judge William Ray called the breadth of the subpoena seeking information about Fulton County election workers “staggering.” He said that the use of the subpoena power to investigate the 2020 election was not legitimate, given the statute of limitations for any potential crime.

“In this Court’s view, the DOJ does not possess a need to enforce the Subpoena greater than the burden of disclosure on Fulton County, and as such, the Court will not enforce it,” he said.

MAGA remains furious at the decision, however.

“The effort to hide what happened in 2020 continues,” another complained on X. “It’s all theater.”

Another roared: “Rogue judge who thinks he’s above the law,” while calling the judge a “POS.”
