I think I'm going to be a politician, then I'll break some laws, THEN I can say since I'm a politician that me being prosecuted for breaking those laws is just politically motivated. Henceforth, we should just let politicians break any law they want and get away it. It's like I'm on an ostrich farm with how many people have their heads buried in the sand. JMO

I don't believe anyone will take a plea on this one because it is so obviously politically motivated it truly disgusts me. I'm an Independent voter.

If anything, it is going to help Trump raise money and it won't surprise me if he is the Republican nominee. smh.

I honestly don’t care if it’s politically motivated or not. He quite clearly broke the law. Should he not be held accountable?

Rudy Giuliani, who pioneered the use of RICO when he was a US attorney, just got indicted on RICO charges

Giuliani went from RICO charge prosecutor to a defendant in Fulton County DA Fani Willis' RICO case over Trump's alleged 2020 election interference.

Rudy will take the case all the way to the Supreme Courtyard Marriot.

(I stole that from a tweet I read this morning.)

So does he really still believe this election was rigged? There's no way he is this blatantly oblivious and obtuse.

It honestly reads like something The Pillow Guy would say.

Probably all of them. That would be my guess.

I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to throw any of them under the bus to save himself.

He wouldn't even have to think twice about it.

I just had a thought. Have I posted this in the correct thread ?

There are so many Trump ones now I suddenly became unsure.

Quoting my own post.

So he can get someone to "lean" on them.

Maybe belongs in the 1/6 thread? But I think it shows his state of mind when it comes to these cases in general. Another forum that I belong to has four different threads for the different cases, labeled "Episode 1", "Episode 2", etc... which makes me giggle since DJT is a former reality TV host. The GA thread is "Episode 4 - The One With the Perfect Phone Call".
Also, good morning, y'all!

Fact check: Debunking Trump's dishonest attacks against Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis | CNN Politics
Trump has repeatedly accused Willis of refusing to investigate the supposed theft of the 2020 election.

He wrote in a social media post on Sunday: “The only Election Interference that took place in Fulton County, Georgia, was done by those that Rigged and Stole the Election, not by me, who simply complained that the Election was Rigged and Stolen. We have Massive and Conclusive Proof, if the Grand Jury would like to see it. Unfortunately, the publicity seeking D.A. isn’t interested in Justice, or this evidence.”

Facts First: Trump’s claim of a rigged and stolen election is a lie. The 2020 election was free and fair, in Fulton County and in the rest of the country, and nobody rigged or stole it. Joe Biden’s victory over Trump in Georgia was confirmed by three counts of the ballots and certified by Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. More than two and a half years after his defeat, Trump has never presented anything remotely resembling proof that he was the rightful winner of Georgia or the presidency. Instead, he has deployed false claims that have been thoroughly debunked by Raffensperger and many others, including Trump’s own senior Justice Department appointees.

For example, Trump has continued into 2023 to claim that Fulton County election workers were caught on video stuffing the ballot box – even though this claim was debunked in 2020 and even though top officials from his Justice Department have testified to Congress that they had personally told him in 2020 that the video did not show any wrongdoing.

Georgia’s final ballot count found that Biden beat Trump by 11,779 votes. In a January 2, 2021 phone call with Raffensperger, Trump pushed the secretary of state to “find” enough votes to give him a one-vote victory over Biden in the state.

Is it time to have a dedicated 45 degree corner of WS? Tho he'd probs want to charge for the branding.

State charges = no prez pardon power at least. Even if the delays stretch on for years.

Sooo with all of this amazing proof, he should be ready for trial and there shouldn't be any delays, correct?

Kanye's publicist indicted. Hopefully some justice for Ms. Freeman and her daughter.

Kanye West publicist pressed Georgia election worker to confess to bogus fraud charges

Weeks after the 2020 election, a Chicago publicist for hip-hop artist Kanye West traveled to the suburban home of Ruby Freeman, a frightened Georgia election worker who was facing death threats after being falsely accused by former President Donald Trump of manipulating votes. The publicist...

Just you wait until Monday when he breaks out his UNDENIABLE PROOF>

ETA: Sorry, but if I had RICO charges hanging over my head and I had proof I don't think I'd wait a week to unveil it at my golf course. JMO
