The 91-year-old former attorney general of the United States during the Ronald Reagan administration chimed in Saturday on the Georgia racketeering (RICO) prosecution of former DOJ assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark, calling the case a “major affront to federal supremacy.”

Edwin Meese III, in a declaration filed before U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, the Barack Obama appointed jurist who has been handling challenges of the RICO prosecution under the federal removal statute, wrote that he was not impressed with Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ (D) case.
