State Senator Colton Moore is calling on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to have a special session of the Georgia General Assembly.  But Governor Kemp says that isn’t going to happen. 

In fact, there was really no chance that Moore’s call for a special session would ever happen.

Moore wants to to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for seeking to indict former President Donald Trump.  Kemp said in statements this week that while he might not agree with Willis’ decisions, he could not she that she had done anything illegal and will not be calling a special session.

Senator Moore’s Republican colleague Senator Bo Hatchett, (R-Cornelia), said Republicans do not have the three-fifths majority in both the state House and the state Senate to call a special session. However, the lawmaker indicated while he and many other Republican lawmakers agreed with the essence of Moore’s push, he sees Moore’s call for a special session as a theatrical, fundraising effort.

Hatchett said, “Republicans agree with the basic desires that Colton Moore expresses about D.A. Willis, but we refuse to sell a false reality to voters about what we can do about it. I guess for some the fundraising opportunity was just too attractive.”

Moore represents Chattooga, Walker, Dade and a portion of Floyd County in the State Senate.
