Team Trump sees Georgia as ‘a road map’ for putting Trump’s heads-I-win-tails-you-lose philosophy of elections into practice

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION this year will come down to seven states — but there’s one that Donald Trump and his most committed lieutenants see as a blueprint for corrupting future local and national elections: Georgia.

"I didn't knowingly know I was threatening anybody..." Good grief!

He loves this publicity. I wish his fans would learn that he's just a conman & a criminal.

Fundraising ad says former President Donald Trump was ‘tortured’ inside Fulton County Jail

The ad is charging $47 for a mug with Trump’s mugshot on it.

www.wsbtv.com

Former President Donald Trump claims he was tortured inside the Fulton County Jail as he was booked on charges that he conspired to overturn the 2020 election here in Georgia.

At least that’s what a new fundraising ad says.

The ad, which is selling things with his now-infamous mug shot, says “I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what? I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!”

and

In total, Trump was in and out of the Fulton County Jail in less than 15 minutes.

“The Secret Service was with him. We had a few individuals that were really stationed to make sure we were very fluid in what we did,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat told Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne. “He did come in through the back. So his motorcade came in, he ultimately came out, very intentional about making sure we had the right people in place to both take the mugshot and complete the fingerprint and background as we do everyone else. He was then escorted back to the actual motorcade where his bonding paperwork was brought to him. He didn’t have to languish here.”

I think people who have suffered actual torture would like to have a word.

Judge says Rudy Giuliani bankruptcy case likely to be dismissed. But his debts aren't going away

A judge says he is leaning toward throwing out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case after lawyers for the cash-strapped former New York City mayor and his biggest creditors agreed this was the best way forward.

apnews.com

A judge said Wednesday he was leaning toward throwing out Rudy Giuliani ‘s bankruptcy case after lawyers for the cash-strapped former New York City mayor and his biggest creditors — two ex-Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him — agreed this was the best way forward.

The case has been roiled by allegations Giuliani is flouting bankruptcy laws and potentially hiding assets. A dismissal would end his pursuit of bankruptcy protection, but it wouldn’t let him off the hook for his debts. His creditors could pursue other legal remedies to recoup at least some of the money they’re owed, such as getting a court order to seize his apartments and other assets.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane said he plans to issue a decision by the end of the week. He scheduled a hearing for 1 p.m. Friday and could make his ruling at that time. Lane ruled out converting the case to a liquidation, as Giuliani had recently requested, saying that doing so would not be in the best interest of people and entities he’s indebted to.

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

July 12, 2024 CNN online article by Katelyn Polantz entitled ‘Judge dismisses Giuliani’s bankruptcy case, allowing creditors to try to seize his assets’. Quoting from the article first paragraph:

“Rudy Giuliani is no longer entitled to bankruptcy protection, a judge decided Friday, making it possible for creditors to immediately pursue his assets within days.”

I’ll defer to lawyers on this activity, and whether the individual is likely to appeal the ruling if that is permitted. MOO

New Georgia appeals court order makes Trump Fulton County verdict before election day virtually impossible

The appellate court scheduled oral arguments for December

www.11alive.com

A Georgia Court of Appeals order late Tuesday afternoon made a verdict in the Fulton County election interference case against former president Donald Trump before election day all but impossible.

The order, shared by former president Trump's lead attorney Steve Sadow, granted requests by eight defendants in the case, including the former president, for oral arguments in their ongoing appeal seeking the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case.

Most significantly, the appellate court scheduled those oral arguments for December 5 -- nearly a month after the presidential election. A trial cannot move forward until the Court of Appeals reaches a decision.

I don't think there is a thread for AZ fake elector cases, but if there is, please direct me to it and I'll post this update there. But I'm plopping it here as it has a connection to the GA case as they both involve fake electors.

"One of former President Donald Trump's so-called "fake electors," Loraine Pellegrino, pleaded guilty to a single "reduced charge" in the Arizona 2020 election case, according to the online docket. Her attorney said in a statement she was sentenced to unsupervised probation and community service....

The guilty plea comes after another defendant in the case, ex-Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, on Monday reached a cooperation agreement with law enforcement."

Another election interference violation update, this one from Colorado:

"Tina Peters [was found] guilty of four felonies on Monday... related to her role in helping a man gain unauthorized access to voting equipment during a secure software update in May 2021. The county’s voting machine’s passwords and copies of its hard drive were later posted online by people trying to undermine the validity of the election system."

My summary of the article:
Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of this indictment. It gives an overview/recap of the case and delays so far, plus opinions from people (local political attorneys) saying even without the appeal (not to be heard until December), most likely a trial with a verdict would not have happened before November elections, largely because jury selection will take a long time.

Also, this update:
"Oral arguments on the disqualification appeal are currently scheduled for December before the Georgia Court of Appeals.

However, that date could be pushed back to 2025.

In a filing last month, Steve Sadow, former president Trump's lead defense attorney, asked the court to reschedule the oral arguments to January over a pre-scheduled international trip."

Thanks a bunch for that! I was so hoping they would have a hearing in December, but looks like not....
Unfortunately since the hack on the Fulton County court site - I can no longer get into it & see what motions have been filed.

"Former President Donald Trump, in a court filing Wednesday, asked the judge overseeing his Georgia election interference case to dismiss two more counts against him.

The first charge relates to the so-called alternate elector plot ....

The second charge accuses Trump and attorney John Eastman of filing a document that included "materially false statements" .... "

Trump asks judge in Georgia election case to dismiss 2 more counts against him


As a reminder - initially, trump had 13 counts against him. 3 of them relating to Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer were dismissed in March. Now he wants the two above mentioned charges dismissed.
