"SNIP.....

Atlanta Journal Constitution: “Brian Kemp and his aides publicly accused the Democratic Party of Georgia of trying to hack into the voter database in a failed attempt to steal the election. The announcement added last-minute drama to an already contentious campaign. More important, it also pre-empted scrutiny of the secretary of state’s own missteps while initiating a highly unusual criminal investigation into his political rivals.”

“But no evidence supported the allegations against the Democrats at the time, and none has emerged in the six weeks since, the Journal-Constitution found. It appears unlikely that any crime occurred. … That examination suggests Kemp and his aides used his elected office to protect his political campaign from a potentially devastating embarrassment.”

Now everyone has to agree to forget about it until the next time a timely lie is convenient. So let us not start or encourage and scurrilous talk of impeachment for abuse of power just because Brian needed to baselessly impugn his political rival so he could win the race for governor. Like that's even wrong!

running his own election. Forget about it. A mere trifle.

Abrams should be governor. Hope he gets his comeuppance as trump is about to.
