GA - Ex-POTUS Donald Trump and others indicted, 13 counts in 2020 election interference, violation of RICO Act, Aug 2023 *4 guilty* #3

[MrsWatson]

I get why they went with the plea, since the more ammunition the better, but agree with those who doubt SP's ability to testify truthfully to the time of day, let alone her beached Kraken plotting.

Isn't she also facing disbarment elsewhere?

Not sure any of this will matter to the armies of believers but good to see another addled domino toppling I guess.

I worry about her safety from the armies of believers. I hope she is in a secure location with guards 24/7.

I've spent a lot of time wondering if she had a legit serious mental health problem, but with her plea, I'm wavering a lot on that.

But I was promised a kraken!!! Where's my kraken?!!

I think this IS the kraken.

imo

I see the news articles all say the jury selection starts tomorrow, 10/20 - but I looked again and the judge only has 10/23 for Chesebro jury selection to start....

I guess they do not look at the Judge's calendar schedule....

In first Trump election trial, a high-stakes sprint to seat a jury

It will be a race against time.

Ah, so I think Chesebro's hubris (and plan with his lawyers) is to delay/drag things out until after Nov. 5.

From the linked article in the quote:
"Under Georgia law, a jury has to be seated – and sworn into service – by the end of the speedy trial deadline. In Fulton County, that’s two terms of court, each of which are about two months long. That means the deadline is Nov. 5.

If the jury is not sworn in by then, Chesebro will be deemed to have been denied his right to a speedy trial and the charges against him must be dropped. The Fulton County criminal cases against him will be dismissed, although the state could appeal such a ruling."

Low key, it always makes me laugh when he puts "SAD!" after things. He's certainly the person I go to when I need someone to tell me what emotions I should feel.

So guessing the RICO charge got dismissed than.

and thanks for the info!

I read somewhere, but can't find it now, that the RICO felony carries minimum mandatory 5 years in jail. Can anyone confirm this or did I dream it? My guess if so is why they negotiated misdemeanors instead, so she could get out of having to serve time.

Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act - Wikipedia

"Violation of the act is a felony, which provides for a prison term of 5–20 years; a fine of three times the amount of money gained from the criminal activity, but no less than $25,000; or both."

"Some PEOPLE say, 'SIR, she drinks Dr. Pepper' (SAD) and everyone knows I DRINK COKE. The most popular soft drink EVER for the MOST POPULAR president in AMERICAN history. I never met her, don't know her".

There, I fixed it for you.

From the link:
"'It undermined people’s faith in elections but undermined people’s faith in each other. There are families ripped apart by this. I don’t know how you measure that,' [Secretary of State] Sterling said."

Absolutely. It's unacceptable to make up stories about election fraud. People still believe the lies, even from the lady who said her own claims were absurd.

I do not where these reporters are getting their info.

The Judge's schedule runs from 10/13 to 10/23 - which on 10/23 IS the start of jury selection for Chesebro...

and from the court site - this the only new add to the docket.

for Chesebro:

Events & Hearings:
10/18/2023 ORDER
Comment: Order on Motion to Exclude Communications [DENIED]
