Rachel Maddow showed that Georgia Republicans are willing to destroy democracy to save themselves and Trump from prosecution.
Maddow said:
“And I don’t know, maybe this would be easier to see if it were happening in another country. And, you know, maybe the leader of their party is still going to face criminal charges in other jurisdictions where he’s under criminal investigation, like federally, or in New York state where he’s under criminal investigation. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. None of us know. But in the one place where he is under criminal investigation, and his party is in full control of the state government, they’ve just decided for the first time in the state’s history, that it is within their own power to remove prosecutors in the middle of their duties on their own say so. And, yes, this is a story about Georgia, and yes, this is a story about Trump, and the potential charges he’s facing. But this is a whole new step for us as a country. This is a new thing for us as a democracy.
This is not ranting against the investigators. We’ve seen that before. And calling people names, and even picking off individuals in the law enforcement system to try and turn them into enemies. As bad as that is, we’ve seen it all before. This isn’t just verbally and politically delegitimizing the entities. Those are bad things to do.
But this is more.
Sticks and stones, right? But this is dismantling the way the legal system works so it will no longer work against him. This isn’t a resolution denouncing a prosecutor who might bring charges against Donald Trump. This is giving Republicans, this is Republicans voting to give themselves the power to remove a prosecutor that acts in the way they don’t like as she’s on the precipice of potentially bringing charges against him. This passed the Georgia state legislature tonight and will soon be on its way to the governor. For Georgia, yes, but for us as a country, this is a benchmark moment.”
Easley: “The idea that Republicans in Georgia are going to give themselves the power to remove prosecutors who are elected officials if they do something that the Republicans don’t like…The Georgia GOP would rather destroy democracy than see Trump indicted.”
Rachel Maddow:
“Vote yourself the power over the person who is going to charge you.”
“Maybe it would easier to see if it were happening in another country.”

Another explosive Dominion doc dump uncovers an existential crisis at Fox News
In my opinion, these exhibits are powerful smoking guns.
By Katie S. Phang,
Tuesday brought another “document dump” in the highly watched Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News defamation case. The lawsuit is set to go to trial in April. But before a jury is even seated, the parties are racing toward a March 21 summary judgment hearing that could decide the case in Dominion’s favor without a trial. In preparation for that hearing, a judge has unsealed hundreds of exhibits, composed of thousands of pages of texts, emails, documents and correspondence, almost all of which seem (at least to me) to support Dominion’s claims that from the top of the corporation to the bottom, its owners, executives, hosts, anchors, producers and even fact-checkers knew that Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and that there was no credible evidence of election fraud.

Family of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, top Democrats lambaste Fox News and Tucker Carlson over Jan. 6 portrayal
The family of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died following the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, rebuked Fox News and host Tucker Carlson after he aired selected unseen footage of the attack to falsely claim the media and congressional investigators misled the public about the events, including the circumstances of Sicknick’s death.
In a statement provided to CBS News, Sicknick’s family said they are “outraged at the ongoing attack” by Fox News and accused Carlson of cherry-picking footage from the Jan. 6 riot that “supports his delusional views that” it was peaceful.
“Every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like Fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it,” the Sicknick family said.

Chief Thomas Manger sent an internal memo to U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday saying the commentary on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s program Monday night was “filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the January 6 attack.”
“The program conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video,” Manger wrote. “The commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during the less tense moments.”

Even McConnell agreed with the Capitol Chief of Police
BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just told the nation that Tucker Carlson and Fox News made a mistake in depicting the Capitol attack on January 6th in the way that they did:
Schiff: “Donald Trump is the original propagator. Donald Trump is the amplifier of the lies…Carlson acknowledges that it’s all a lie…just about the money, yet McCarthy entrusts him with 41,000 hours…”
imho, when ratings and cash and the Speakership are more important than rule of law, life, democracy.
