The judge declined to halt the Fulton County district attorney’s investigation into 2020 election interference.
A state judge in Georgia has rejected Donald Trump’s bid to derail his potential prosecution for attempting to subvert the 2020 election results.
In a nine-page ruling, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said it’s simply too soon for Trump or his allies to seek to prohibit Georgia prosecutors from continuing to investigate him — in large part because he hasn’t been indicted yet.
“[W]hile being the subject (or even target) of a highly publicized criminal investigation is likely an unwelcome and unpleasant experience, no court ever has held that that status alone provides a basis for the courts to interfere with or halt the investigation,” wrote McBurney, who spent a year overseeing District Attorney Fani Willis’ special grand jury investigation of Trump’s election-related actions.

The MAGA cult is already running around with King Trump signs.
Seriously it is just completely bonkers that a scary number of people actually want to live under a dictatorship.
Somehow they’re convinced he’s only going to hurt the “right” people.
I too wouldn’t mind living in an absolute dictatorship if my guy (or I) was the boss. (Actually even then I think I’d feel uncomfortable; I have too much empathy for my own good).
Trump has already laid out a plan to expand presidential powers if he wins in ‘24, so that might not be too far off in a future GOP platform
Well, you’ve got Bill Barr’s attention.
Anyone seen the unredacted Mueller report yet? That we should have? Anyone? Beuller?
