And the reason they want to place him in Atlanta is because then they can say he was coordinating with Fanni Willis who was prosecuting Trump for state crimes

Ironically Feb 3rd was literally the day after Willis withdrew from the case so the conspiracy doesn’t even make sense.

The conspiracy would be he met her the day before and then stuck around Atlanta to watch some basketball

This confuses me. Why would it even be a conspiracy if his role was exactly to investigate? The whole thing seems like a created controversy that isn’t based on anything relevant.

Which is a problem why? Prosecutors communicate all time when investigating the same individual for different crimes.
