As has seemed inevitable for a couple of years, a court in Georgia has dismissed the absurd RICO case that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought against President Trump.
Willis was previously (and scandalously) removed from the case. The court dismissed it on the motion of what the New York Times describes as “the state’s nonpartisan prosecutor council.” Pete Skandalakis rightly pointed out that most of what Willis tried to criminalize as “racketeering” involved challenging the election results. Even if Trump went about this in a heavy-handed manner, it is not illegal to petition courts, legislators, and election officials to alter the outcome of an election. There is, indeed, a legal process for doing so.
