The former federal prosecutor, Andy McCarthy, argues that the case brought by district attorney Fannie Willis is ill-conceived and an attempt to turn the federal and political investigation of the January 6th committee into a state-level case. He points out that there is no unifying crime that can be charged, and the alleged criminal organization does not meet the legal criteria for racketeering.
