Georgia DA gearing up to prosecute Trump for 'criminal solicitation' and 'election fraud': report An indictment in Willis' probe, according to reports, could come sometime in August. The Guardian's Hugo Lowell, in an article published on July 25, reports that two Georgia sources "briefed on the matter" say the charges could include "criminal solicitation to commit election fraud and conspiracy to commit election fraud, as well as solicitation of a public or political officer to fail to perform their duties and solicitation to destroy, deface or remove ballots." Lowell reports, "The district attorney is also seeking to charge at least some of the Trump operatives who were involved in accessing voting machines and copying sensitive election data in Coffee County, Georgia, in January 2021 with computer trespass crimes, the two people said. The outcome of deliberations, as well as the manner in which the statutes might be enforced, remains unknown." The Guardian reporter adds, "For instance, prosecutors could charge under certain statutes individually, fold them into a wider racketeering case of the kind that the Guardian has previously reported, or do a combination." Lowell notes that with a criminal solicitation charge, Georgia prosecutors "would have to show that Trump persistently requested another person to engage in certain illegal conduct that are 'likely and imminent' as a result of the solicitation." "The statute for soliciting a public officer to fail to perform duties could apply to Trump when he pressured the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to 'find 11,780 votes,' as well as his phone calls to chief investigator Frances Watson and House Speaker David Ralston," Lowell explains. "The threshold question there is whether Raffensperger would have failed to perform his duty as the state's top election official if he had done what Trump wanted, according to the Brookings Institution — for instance, if he actually went and 'found' 11,780 votes to reverse Trump's loss."
NBC reports that Trump’s attorneys have completed their meeting and were told to expect an indictment.
In terms of appearances, it's kind of a shame the wheels of investigation and justice take the amount of time they do, but I definitely don't want to live in a country with slapdash prosecutions. If you're a die-hard Trumper reading his "Truth" (sic) "Social" (sic) feed, you can totally digest all of these new indictments as arriving only b/c he's "ahead in the GOP polls." Correlation is not causation, but who am I to deprogram cult members.
Why New York AG Letitia James is probably Trump's biggest worry right now (not Jack Smith, Fani Willis or Alvin Bragg) If James gets her way at a $250 million civil fraud trial that starts just three months from now, a Manhattan judge will permanently pull The Trump Organization's license to operate as a New York business. And Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump would further be banned from ever running a business anywhere in the state. In other words, the man who introduced himself on the pilot of The Apprentice by crowing,"I'm the largest real estate developer in New York," would be run out of town on a rail, corporately speaking, and his progeny along with him. The financial and psychic toll to being a mogul in exile would be great. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-biggest-worry-is-still-letitia-james-2023-7 I think what would eat at him even more, would be that a black woman ran his crooked family businesses out of NY.
More winning, as Trump-appointed federal judge has thrown out DJT's $400M+ defamation suit against CNN for labeling his election claims "The Big Lie." Trump was concerned this made his sound like Hitler, LOL. Play stupid, lie-filled games, and win getting called a stupid liar. BBC story.
And here is mtg attempting to prop up those that tried to answer trump's call to overturn the election and commit fraud in the process.
I'm so sick of the current Republican party. They are the worst set of people this country has ever seen holding office. They act like juveniles, and are pure trash mouth bullies, propaganda spreaders, and liars. There are so few of them who treat anyone outside their party with respect or human decency. They fight against progress, all in the reason to watch Biden fail, or stick it to the Dems.
