     One last quote, but then do read the entire letter, not only for more crisp nuggets but also to learn about separation of powers, state police powers, U.S. federalism, prosecutorial functions and ethics, and more.

     “As it seems you have a personal interest in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, you should consider directing the USDOJ to investigate the racist threats that have come to my staff and me because of this investigation.” — #FaniWillis, letter to Jim Jordan 6/6 #LawFedi
