One of the Democrats' lawfare goals in their coordinated campaign of criminal and civil cases against President Donald Trump over the last eight or nine years has been to make it so costly for him that he'd walk away.
The "fraud" case brought against Trump by leftist New York Attorney General Letitia James, in which the "victims" said they lost no money and would like to do business with Trump again, is a case in point.
That case resulted in a penalty, from a leftist judge whose family ties to the issue never have been resolved, of a penalty of nearly half a billion dollars, despite there being no damages in the case.
That's on appeal at this point. Meanwhile, James has come under federal investigation for possible fraud herself.
But now a Courthousenews report confirms that Trump might be able to recoup the legal expenses that one case cost him.
That would be the Georgia case in which leftist officials accused Trump of interfering in the 2020 elections.
The report confirmed that Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed two tort reform bills into law that were supported by the general assembly's Republican majority and business leaders from across the state.
"Senate Bill 244 allows criminal defendants to recover attorney fees and legal costs if the prosecutor of their case is disqualified for misconduct and the case is dismissed," the report noted.
In the "interference" case, a panel from the Georgia Court of Appeals decided that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office should be removed from prosecuting the president's case.
There's no current activity in the case as Georgia Supreme Court has been asked to take up an appeal by Willis.
"If the high court upholds the disqualification of Willis — which was ordered due to an 'appearance of impropriety' stemming from her relationship with the case's former special prosecutor, Nathan Wade — the costly reimbursements would fall on local taxpayers' pockets," the report noted.
Its cause would further be traced back to Willis' case, and the actions she took regarding her lawfare against Trump.
The report explained Kemp's signature also set up a new process for people who have been exonerated for crimes they did not commit, calling for administrative law judges to rule on wrongful conviction compensation cases.
The reported noted Trump's campaign spent about $2.7 million in the case in which he was wildly accused of racketeering and a long list of other felonies.
The Georgia Republican Party also reportedly paid $2 million in fees for Trump's co-defendants.
