Fulton County, Georgia saw a steady stream of both high profile and lesser known associates

of Donald Trump sweeping in and out of the county jail this week to be booked in the

election interference case brought by district attorney Fanny Willis.

she doesn't have venue over the Capitol riot that could not be brought as a crime in

Georgia because it didn't have any factual connection to it.
