Listen to the last episode:

On this week's second edition of Political Breakfast, the conversation continues from news earlier this week about special prosecutor Pete Skandalakis being appointed to investigate Georgia GOP Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones. The case is over Jones' role in former president Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. In 2020, Burt Jones signed on as a fake elector for Donald Trump, after Joe Biden's victory in Georgia. Prosecutors allege this was part of a plan to overturn Trump’s loss. Jones claims he did nothing illegal. Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia, appointed himself after Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified from taking the case. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican Strategist Brian Robinson break down the politics surrounding the case with host Lisa Rayam.
