Lock him up.

14. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has opened that criminal investigation:

Willis' letter says the next Fulton County grand jury is due to convene in March, at which time "this office will begin requesting grand jury subpoenas as necessary." It makes note that there is "no reason to believe" any Georgia official will be investigated.

The district attorney says her office has jurisdiction in the matter because other state and federal agencies - including the Secretary of State's Office, Attorney General's Office, and U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia - were at various turns pressured by Trump in his campaign to have Georgia's election results overturned.

That, the letter argues, leaves the Fulton County DA's Office as "the one agency with jurisdiction that is not a witness to the conduct that is the subject of the investigation."

"This agency has jurisdiction over this matter because this judicial circuit is where the Georgia government entities that were contacted are headquartered, including the Office of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the General Assembly," the letter states.
