Commission, starting in October, will have power to sanction and even remove prosecutors
Fascists gonna fash.
The commission can’t even start processing complaints until next July, and the governor - who doesn’t like Trump at all - has a great deal of say over its composition. And it’s made up of former DAs (I think one of them also has to be a former / experienced judge) - they might well be able to find / appoint a couple of those who are willing to remove another DA from office for prosecuting Trump, but it’s not going to be easy.
I believe the main intent was to stop prosecutors from refusing to prosecute abortion-related crimes, not to stop Willis - it’s very well designed for that first job, but if they were trying to give themselves the ability to remove prosecutors for going after Trump, they would have made it start up a lot faster + staffed it with fellow politicians.
Can congress removes state prosecutors?*facepalm* I can’t read.It’s the state senate
