that there are text messages, emails, documents, that will be the roadmap for this committee to hopefully begin public hearings sooner rather than later and inform and educate the american people exactly what was going on in the oval office. as the former president over turn tried to overturn the election. let s turn to the investigation in georgia, which maybe the investigation with the most direct criminal liability for donald trump or he s on a recording asking for votes to be created. in that election. the atlanta journal-constitution is reporting that the district attorney willis team is also examining the abrupt resignation of a u.s. attorney bjay pack, and november 2020 call from senator lindsey graham to brad raffensperger, we knew that already, and the false claims made by rudy giuliani during a hearing in front of the georgia senate and there s a particular georgia state law about false
the american people exactly what was going on in the oval office. as the former president over turn try to overturn the election. let s turn to the investigation in georgia, which maybe the investigation with the most direct criminal liability for donald trump or he s on a recording asking for votes to be created. in that election. the orlando journal-constitution is reporting that the district attorney willis team is also examining the abrupt resignation of a u.s. attorney jay pack, and november 2020 call from senator lindsey graham to brad raffensperger, we knew that already, and the false claims made by rudy giuliani during a hearing in front of the georgia senate and there s a particular georgia state law about false statements made in those governing settings. daniel goldman, let s go to that point about the sudden resignation of the u.s. attorney which mystified all of
the results in georgia had been undermined by voter fraud, the person said. resigning would preempt a public dismissal, and quote. b. j. pak as the third government official to testify in front of the committee about donald trump s efforts to abuse the justice department for his personal gain. that s not good for the former president, but it s also frustrating because once again we hear about something that sounds like criminal behavior by donald trump, and so far he has not been held accountable for that behavior which goes to a bigger point on accountability in the wake of the 2020 election. trump told his supporters to attack the capital on january 6th, he used his election lies, lies that he wanted to be jay pack and others to spread to propel those protesters to action, to incite an insurrection. more than 550 people face federal charges for invading the capital, but are those charges actually enough to prevent another interaction?
totally separate track, one of the participants in that meeting, the deputy attorney general sends an email to be jay pack in georgia, to the u.s. attorney in georgia at 10:09 pm, eastern time, this is after the oval office showdown and he tolls tells him to call him asap. by 7:41 the next morning, be jay pack had resigned as u.s. attorney, and within a few hours richard donahue sent him in email thanking him for resigning and calling him a class act for doing so. why was donahue thanking him first of all why did pack resign? first of all why did he get all this urgent call from the number two official that led to his resignation? why did that happen after the oval office meeting? and why after the governor signed did he get flanked by the number two official in the doj. when someone resigns you think for it if you did it at your request? why would he have asked the u.s. attorney to resign?
