DA suggests Georgia election interference case against Trump may continue

The DA's office urged an appeals court to reject Trump's immunity claim

 The filing argued that Trump's lawyers failed to demonstrate why a state prosecution would be subject to the Department of Justice memorandum prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting presidents -- which was cited by special counsel Jack Smith when he wound down his federal cases against Trump -- or impede Trump's duties as president.

 "Appellant does not specify or articulate how the appeal -- or indeed, any other aspect of this case -- will constitutionally impede or interfere with his duties once he assumes office," Fulton County Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney F. McDonald Wakeford wrote.

"The notice makes mention of these concepts without actually examining them or applying them to the present circumstances. In other words, Appellant has not done the work but would very much like for this Court to do so," the filing said.

The frequency with which this **** comes back to bite Yahoos is almost perverse...
