Responding to attempts this week to get charges in the Georgia racketeering case dismissed, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Wednesday that motions filed by co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro are "unsupported," "improper" and demonstrated a "fundamental misunderstanding" of the law, The Messenger reported.
Willis said Chesebro's motion, in which he claims his two months of work was not long enough to constitute a racketeering scheme under Georgia law, "demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding" of legislation and "like many of the motions filed by the defendant to this point, cites to no law in support of its position."
Chesebro, a former Trump lawyer, is considered the architect of the fake electors plan to declare Trump the victor in the 2020 election.

In another filing, Willis says Chesebro's motion to have his case dismissed, is "based on novel, flawed, and unsupported misapplications of federal and state law and the Supremacy Clause.
He claimed the charges should be dropped because he was acting "in his capacity as a lawyer."
"The Defendant's argument for immunity is not immediately clear, nor the legal basis of his motion readily apparent, beyond that he asks the Court to dismiss the indictment against him and that he, in passing, refers to the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution," Willis wrote.
