6. I saw Kemp approve that commission out of the corner of my eye

...and it's a sure bet they try to make up some standard that doesn't yet exist in Ga. law to apply it to Fani Willis.

There's still a lengthy process for them to go through before even considering taking some action against her, and DA Willis is joined in defense against the presumed authority of this particular commission by many other DAs.

But I agree that this judge did his best to give them a pretext to sanction her.

I would note that republicans jumped the gun and recommended action against her just weeks after Willis’ office indicted Donald Trump and 18 others. It was a clear bastardization of the law which established the commission with it's clear political complaint about prosecuting the ex-president.

Moreover, Gov. Kemp spoke at length about his rejection of plans to use the commission against state prosecutors. State republicans on the committee have a 'lookey here' plan to make a new complaint based on the gratuitous, contradictory language he included in his finding of no material harm to the defendant.

So yeah, there's that.
