Fani Willis Calls for the Previous DA To Be Removed from Office for Doing Exactly What She Did

WILLIS: “You say, ‘Ms. Willis, Judge Willis, what law did he violate?’ A few, but let’s try this one on for size. O.C.G.A. 45115, extortion, subsection 8. As used in this code section, the term ‘extortion’ means an unlawful taking by public law officer, under color of his office, from any person of any money or thing of any value that is not due to him or more than is due to him. Any public officer shall be by himself, his deputy, or his agent, or other person employed by him, be guilty of extortion and receiving other and greater fees than by law are allowed him, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor — and repeat this part for me — and shall be dismissed from office. Not may be — shall be dismissed from office.”
