Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis tore into House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday in a searing letter accusing the Ohio Republican of trying to obstruct her criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

      man, I dunno if she’s gonna get a conviction, but this is definitely going to be the Watergate of this century, the defining political shitshow for a generation. And it’s gonna be fantastic to watch.
