[U, X2] Scott Johnson: Trafficking In Lies In Service Of Tangerine — And Racial / Sexual Ones At That — In Georgia.

Updated: January 21, 2024 — It is now clear (from Scott’s own linked updates) that the ex- of the junior prosecutor is simply angling for more money, in a no-fault divorce. And in any event, there is zero inference (even if what she alleges was true) that this in any manner affected the prosecution of any MAGAt, or Tangerine himself, for election fraud, in Georgia.

It is simply churlish, and sensational nonsense — to try to embarrass a prosecutor. And Ms. Willis has now labeled the ex-‘s attempt as “attempted obstruction” of a criminal proceeding. Ms. Willis is correct — and the ex- could easily be charged criminally before long, if she persists in this graymail. End updated portion.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigations has issued a press release earlier this week, to the effect that there is “nothing to investigate“. [These are, as a rule, GOP-leaning law enforcement officers in Georgia, btw.]

All there is (upon which Scott hangs about ten paragraphs)… is a MAGA GOP hack’s bare a$$ed lie (literally!), that there was a prior relationship between two adults in Georgia. A sexual one. PRIOR. That’s it — that’s the whole basis upon which Scott makes up… wildly libelous charges, as a would-be distraction from Trump’s INDICTMENTS in Georgia — on felonies, of tampering with elections.

His… election LOSS, to put a fine point on it.

And it now turns out that a two-year old, purportedly “no fault” divorce case — in Georgia, is where the MAGA operative (a lawyer for a Trump co-defendant) sourced this nonsense. The soon to be ex-wife seeks, for financial gain, to depose the sitting prosecutor — as a means to extract a higher divorce payment from her soon to be ex-husband. And the cringe factor of a GOP operative encouraging her, in this gray mail campaign… is pegged off, scale high. But Scott runs with it all.

Mr. Johnson should be concerned that under applicable US law, well settled, it is libel per se, to allege some sexual crime (even a vague one, based on a lie)… against a public official like Fani Willis.

Whatever his house is worth, he is risking it — by telling lies to support Tangerine in public, and obstruct and denigrate solid prosecutors’ efforts — to get to the truth.

What a putz.
