John Dean on Giuliani in Georgia indictment: ‘Rudy is going to get destroyed by this’

John Dean, the White House counsel to former President Nixon, predicted a grim fate for former New York City mayor and Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, who faces mounting legal fees in addition to what Dean said looks like an “overwhelming” case in Georgia and unresolved issues at the federal level. “I...

Sheriff Labat said that the mugshot is waiting for DJT at the jail lol.
No special treatment according to him.

Hope Rudy won't be sweating off his hair color!

Georgia law enforcement probe threats after Trump grand jury identified online

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Law enforcement officials are investigating threats related to former President Donald Trump's election interference investigation in Georgia, after names and addresses of grand jury members were posted online, a sheriff's office said. "Our investigators are working...

An indictment in Georgia that is available as a public record includes the names of grand jurors but not their addresses or any other personally identifiable information.

A woman from Texas was charged this month with threatening the federal judge overseeing Trump's separate criminal case in Washington about the 2020 election.

Reports by Advance Democracy, which conducts public interest investigations, this week found posts by users on at least four social media websites targeting the grand jurors that "often included violent rhetoric."

"These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," one report quoted a poster as saying.

The software is also used successfully throughout Canada. I have read quite a lot about it. It is actually quite a ‘tried and true’ system, despite the conspiracy theories. imo

I find it an awful shame that a reputable company has been trashed just because DT lost the election.

I don't know that it is just because Trump lost the election but then, I never voted for Trump and my state doesn't use Dominion.

I find it unacceptable that any state would know about existing vulnerabilities for two years, do nothing to address it and refuses to do anything before the 2024 election.

Georgia election officials have been aware of existing vulnerabilities in the state’s voting software for more than two years but continue to insist the system is safe and won’t be updated until after 2024, according to a report that was unsealed this week as part of a controversial court case in Georgia.

The report’s findings focus on weaknesses in software for certain Dominion Voting machines. Those weaknesses were previously verified by federal cybersecurity officials, who urged election officials across the country to update their systems.

I know. And Fox News lost to lawsuit by Dominion...as evidence was provided that Fox knew they were lying. They knew there was no election fraud. Hence they paid $875 million dollars, and more importantly, took a massive his to their reputation to settle.

And yet people still argue that the election wasn't valid (thanks to planted falsehoods). It's shameful.

Georgia Mugshot Laws and How They Impact the Criminal Justice System | The Reputation Attorney

In recent years, the state of Georgia has passed several laws regarding the public availability of mugshots. These laws have created a lot of controversy and confusion in both criminal law and civil law, as they can have an impact on individuals’ rights to privacy, protection from reputational...

Every system used in every election has had it's vulnerabilities. But those vulnerabilities haven't been significant enough to doubt the election outcome.

No system is perfect.

But that's not the point as the margin of error would not affect the election outcome. And every legal analysis of the election says there was no fraud. Certainly not enough Fox News knew there was no fraud and they knew that Trump lost fairly....and they paid for lying. And yet Trump keeps saying there was fraud. He keeps manipulating his followers. He's a lying narcissist. And the people around him lie to curry his favor.

I am not getting the same impression as you have from that article.

They took some measures a year ago, and the likelihood of problems is negligible and not far reaching (is what I am reading in the article).

I wonder why the DA didn't move to seal the identities of the grand jurors. Jack Smith had them sealed in the Florida documents case.

The software is vulnerable, but Raffensperger is refusing to implement the necessary protections prior to the 2024 election.

In my opinion, the Curling lawsuit absolutely has bearing on this thread. An election worker in Coffee County who was just indicted was concerned the system had been hacked in the 2021 election and she did report it and was ignored. She was subpoenaed to testify in the Curling lawsuit which is at the federal level. It shocks me that she has been indicted for trying to do her job.

We'll agree to disagree.
JMO

Even if she truly believed the system had been hacked, she did not have the legal right to allow unauthorized persons--including Sydney Powell representing Trump--access the voting machines and the data they contained. Which is what she is charged with.

That was most definitely not part of her job description.

I certainly wish the DA would have.

I hope they find every one of those responsible for issuing threats against these grand jurors and hold them to account for their actions and threats. No citizen doing their civic duty should be subject to this by anyone - under the veil of anonymity or not.

It's standard procedure in Georgia.

We might see trump strike a photo pose, with what he seems to see as a "manly" jutting jaw.

Or it might be a pout. A ducky mouth pout.

It’s shady to me that they want to wait until 2025 to do the security patches. If there are no security weaknesses why do the patches at all. This defies reason and logic. moo

Actually, this does not defy reason and logic. Every tech company makes continues improvements.

It seems that certain groups are trying to turn normal procedures into 'nefarious acts' to create lack of trust in the system.

All of the reports and investigations thus far have revealed there was zero manipulation of the system in Georgia during the 2020 election.

THE FACTS: A grand jury in Georgia on Monday indicted Trump as well as 18 others for their alleged efforts to overturn the results of his 2020 election loss in the state.
