A Political Prosecution in Prime Time
"It's just the next chapter in a book of lies with the purpose of framing President Donald Trump and anyone willing to take on the ruling regime. They lied about Russian collusion, they lied about Joe Biden's foreign bribery scheme, and they lied about Hunter Biden's laptop hard drive proving 30 years of criminal activity. The real criminals here are the people who have brought this case forward both directly and indirectly."

Link to Quote: Live updates: Trump, 18 others charged in sweeping indictment in Georgia election probe - ABC News (go.com)



Last night the nation was treated to another bit of theatre from those who are part of the political prosecution of Donald Trump. Last night a Fulton County grand jury indicted former President Trump and 18 others on charges related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The indictment could have been more easily have been handed down today, but that would have lacked all the drama we had last night as the Fulton Court House was kept open late and the nation was kept on the edge of its seat.

It was an incident that happened earlier in the day which captured the attention of the more attentive observers:

"On Monday afternoon, the Fulton County Court’s website posted a document listing the same charges included in the indictment released late Monday night. Reuters first reported on the document, before the Fulton County Court quickly removed it from the website."

Later a Fulton County Clerk declared it to be fake and that people should look for the Fulton County Court letterhead. However when the indictment finally was released late into the night, because the grand jury supposedly rendered its verdict at around 8:00 PM the two documents appeared to be identical. How can that be? It seems every one of these prosecutions turns up another piece of questionable actions on the part of the prosecution.



The prosecution in this case is Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and she responded to questions about the odd circumstance with:

"No, I can't tell you anything about what you refer to," Willis said. "What I can tell you is that we had a grand jury here in Fulton County. They deliberated till almost 8:00, if not right after 8:00, an indictment was returned. It was true billed. And you now have an indictment."

Willis delivered her presentation at around 11:30 PM EST last night before the entire nation.

"Former President Donald Trump was indicted for the fourth time, this time in Georgia, on Monday night along with 18 others who authorities say were involved in illegal efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.

In addition to Trump, who is facing 13 counts in the latest indictment, the  18 other people charged  for alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia are:

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, lawyers John Eastman, Ray Smith III and Robert Cheeley, former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, former Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, former members of Trump legal team Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell, ex-Trump staffer Michael Roman, former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party David Shafer, Georgia state. Sen. Shawn Still, Illinois police chaplain Stephen Lee, Black Voices for Trump executive director Harrison Floyd, Publicist Trevian Kutti, former Coffee County Republican Party in Georgia chairwoman Cathy Latham, 2020 Fulton County Republican poll watcher Scott Hall and former Coffee County, Georgia, election supervisor Misty Hampton."

The Trump hating Willis cut her teeth using the RICO statute, so it is something she feels comfortable with. Her 98-page indictment contains 41 counts, 13 of which Trump faces, and alleges that Trump made 13 false statements in his effort to overturn the election results. For those who want to read the indictment, it can be found here:

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz


"Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, speaking to Fox News Digital, criticized the pending indictment, calling Trump’s actions  "very similar" to that of Al Gore’s legal strategy in the Bush v. Gore case that decided the 2000 presidential election. 

"We challenged the election, and we did much of the things that are being done today and people praised us. I wrote a bestselling book called ‘Supreme Injustice. Now they're making it a crime," Dershowitz said."

Dershowitz slams GA indictment, says Trump used same tactics as Al Gore in 2000: not a ‘crime' (msn.com)



Harvard Law Alan Dershowitz noted that the use of the RICO Act was one of the quickest/easiest ways to gain an indictment yet was also one of the most vulnerable to being overturned on appeal. Usually, such cases take a few years to adjudicate, thus Fat Fani Willis wanted to get the indictment out there last night. Right now, she is enjoying her minute of fame in the eyes of the radical left. However, these ideological prosecutors have done irreputable damage to our legal system. They have bastardized American law and anyone who is not a radical leftist can see it.

I can't help believing that there are independents out there who had no intention of ever voting for Donald Trump, now saying to themselves "hey, wait a minute...why are they coming after this guy this way?"

the wannabe dictator is going to spend his last months of freedom traveling from one courtroom to another, burning thru the cash gathered from his legion of suckers, while attempting to stall his inevitable incarceration with bogus legal maneuvers, only to wind up in government housing without the benefit of a camera pointing at him and no access to to a cell phone. this isn't the last state or federal indictment coming down the pipeline...

Coming from someone that supports the Democrat Party that is pure hypocritical BS. Equal justice under the law means the law applies equally to everyone.

Hillary and her crew were let off the hook by Comey for mishandling classified documents over a private server; destroying government property; and destroying evidence by bleachbitting her server hard drives; and smashing government cell phones and tablets. Guess Comey was keeping in step with Bill Clinton being allowed to keep tapes containing information that was deemed classified.

Obama kept classified documents in an unsecured warehouse for 3 years- no FBI raid to reclaim them; and no charges from the DOJ. 

Brandon has classified documents in unsecure locations since he was a Senator; and continued the practice while he was VP. The only thing coming from the Special Counsel Garland appointed is they are no where near ending their investigation. I am sure they can slow walk it for another 4 or 5 years before letting it die on the vine.

Let's not forget Hunter- who had the most serious charges against him have the statute of limitations run out; and the gun charge dropped in a sweetheart plea deal by a Federal DA stooge Brandon kept on- who was just named Special Counsel by Garland as a reward for slow walking and playing ball with the DOJ. Given how slow charges were brought on Hunter- expect something around 2027 or 2028.

Either the law applies to everyone or no one.

Democrats/leftists will be screaming the loudest when it applies to no one.

The fact that the document was released to the media before Trump's legal team is also illegal. Guess Willis, or one of the Fulton County Clerks, wanted to get a jump on the proceedings. Don't expect anyone to be held accountable. Democrats never are.

You have a pattern of ignoring all the details and recasting Trump's indictments in simplistic innocuous terms.

Few people are dumb enough to think that all Trump did was question election results.   So who do you think is buying the bullshit you are peddling?

Trump engaged in specific acts and many of those acts were illegal.    If a court finds that Trump did indeed act as alleged, he faces legal consequences.

Surely you can see that engaging in a lying campaign to coerce officials to take illegal / unethical actions and organizing fake electors in an attempt to steal an election is not simply "questioning election results".

No. The charges were written before the grand jury voted. That’s how it works. That’s how it has to work. Otherwise, there’s nothing to vote on.

The grand jury is just folks. They aren’t lawyers. They don’t sift through the evidence and figure out what to charge. The prosecutor, who is a lawyer, is the one who does that. The grand jury just deliberates, and then votes yes or no.

Prove that statement. You do realize that under American law we don't prove innocence. A prosecutor has to prove guilt. I will gladly give you the counter side (below) to the indictment but be careful with what you declare as bullshit. Everyone can clearly see that all of this is political, just like the non-investigation of Joe Biden is political. It stinks to the point that, as I said, those who would never vote for Trump might now consider it.


Surely you can see that engaging in a lying campaign to coerce officials to take illegal / unethical actions and organizing fake electors in an attempt to steal an election is not simply "questioning election results".

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, who worked with Al Gore during the 2000 recount read the indictment. This is what he said:

"When I read the indictment, I said to myself, 'Oh, my God. I did some of those things during Bush vs Gore.' I did everything possible to try to get a recount. I called people and said, 'Look, it's only 600 votes. Can't we find 600 votes that were not properly counted?'"

"This RICO indictment could have been applied to us Democrats who challenged the Bush v. Gore election in Florida," Dershowitz said. "It could have been used against Thomas Jefferson in 1800. It could have been used in the Tilden Hayes election. It could have been used against John F. Kennedy's people in Hawaii. Election challenges are a central part of America."

Some of the charges that Trump and others such as Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani are facing include allegedly making false statements to officials and false statements in relation to voting machines and "false electors." 

Trump is also receiving backlash due to a 2021 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where he asked him to help him "find 11,780  votes ."

Dershowitz said that that conversation was exculpatory, but not incriminating. 

"You listen to that conversation from beginning to end and you read the transcript," he said. "It's clear what he was doing. He wasn't saying to manufacture or make votes. He was saying 'there are votes out there that haven't been counted. We have to find those votes.'"

"That's what I said in Florida in 2000," Dershowitz continued. "'We can find 600 votes-the butterfly ballots, the hanging chads. Come on, let's get to work. Let's find 600 votes and turn this election over to Al Gore.' I didn't do anything wrong, and certainly he didn't do anything wrong in this conversation. There may be more that we don't know about."

Dems could have been indicted for Bush v. Gore by Georgia DA's standards: Dershowitz | Just The News



And btw, Dershowitz never voted for Donald Trump.

Prove that statement.

My position is that Trump broke the law.   For me to be wrong, Trump would have to be found not guilty on these indictments.   Legal determination is the result of a court of law.   That is when the proof comes.   Right now we operate on the evidence.   There is no question in my mind that Trump engaged in many specific acts (e.g. attempted coercion of Raffensperger, attempt to suborn Pence to table certified votes) that were wrong and we have indictments that map those and other acts to laws.  

Is it your position that Trump did nothing wrong ... that he will be found not guilty of all the current charges?

See, Vic, you are whitewashing this situation.   You are trying to spin reality to make it look as though all Trump did was question the election.   That is such bullshit.   Do you actually think you can get people to believe that all Trump did was question the election?

"When I read the indictment, I said to myself, 'Oh, my God. I did some of those things during Bush vs Gore.' I did everything possible to try to get a recount. I called people and said, 'Look, it's only 600 votes. Can't we find 600 votes that were not properly counted?'"

If Trump has simply done what Dershowitz described I am confident he would not be facing indictments.   I personally would not consider this wrongdoing.   But in reality Trump went way beyond the pretty picture painted by Dershowitz.   Trump did not stop at legal actions and recounts and instead sought to coerce officials to deliver false results and take unconstitutional / unethical / illegal actions.  (That is my position, proof comes from the lawsuits.)   Gore engaged in legal and ethical acts (e.g. recounts) to challenge the election results because they were indeed razor thin and he did win the popular vote.   But when Gore's practical legal challenges were exhausted (and I have always felt he went too far even though it was his right to do so) he conceded the election and moved on.  

There is no comparing Gore's collective actions with Trump's.   And the fact that Dershowitz is trying to compare Trump with history back to Jefferson (where history has no conclusion of corrupt attempts by Jefferson in the election) illustrates the tactic.   

In other words:  

Trump did far more than simply "challenge the results of an election".

Your attempt to recast reality in such simple and inaccurate terms will not persuade anyone who looks at this objectively.


Finally, is my question for you @13 too probative?

Well, I hate to sound like a democrat, but where is the "evidence?'  Maybe you are just giving an opinion, which is fine with me, except when I do that I get called "hyper partisan."

That is why I posted the Dershowitz piece.


See, Vic, you are whitewashing this situation.   You are trying to spin reality to make it look as though all Trump did was question the election.   That is such bullshit.

Actually, I didn't argue the merits of this case, nor Bragg's case, nor Jack Smith's case. My position has always been that none of this should be connected to Biden's DOJ. From the day Trump was elected this has been going on. What you don't seem to understand is that there is a price to be paid for corruption and the blatantly partisan acts of DOJ/FBI which amounts to malfeasance, right from the beginning, discredit anything done now. Talk about bullshit! Do you think the American people don't know that all these prosecutions of a political candidate are anything but what they appear to be?  You are easily going to get a conviction in left leaning shit holes like "Fulton County" GA or NYC or DC.  None of it will matter to the general public, many of whom are wondering why this is all being done to a political candidate and former President.


If Trump has simply done what Dershowitz described I am confident he would not be facing indictments.  

I absolutely disagree. Some of the prosecutors in these cases ran on getting Trump.


Gore engaged in legal and ethical acts (e.g. recounts) to challenge the election results because they were indeed razor thin and he did win the popular vote.

That's debatable too. You know he only contested ballots in heavy democrat districts and even tried to get military mail in ballots tossed if they weren't perfectly signed & certified. (Military ballots were regarded as heavily Republican). Think of how mail in ballots were treated in the last two elections.



But when Gore's practical legal challenges were exhausted (and I have always felt he went too far even though it was his right to do so) he conceded the election and moved on.  

But then again, many democrats haven't conceded losses, Stacey Abrams being most notable.



Finally, is my question for you @13 too probative?

Ahh, no, educators must take all questions.

Do you think this indictment is without merit?

Do you think the documents and Jan 6th indictments are without merit?


The answer to the former is most likely and to the latter is totally without merit.  The indictment that hasn't come yet may be closest to the mark. Unfortunately, the actions of the government both federal and state have "nullified" any and all verdicts of juries. One of those Simpson jurors might be able to explain what that means.

What, specifically, are you asking for?   There is an abundance of evidence in public domain and then there is evidence that will only be delivered in a trial.

Irrelevant.   What matters is what Trump actually did and how that relates to the law.

I absolutely disagree.

There is no way that someone would indict Trump for merely questioning the results and calling for a recount.   No court would allow such a frivolous lawsuit and only a moron would attempt to bring it.

But then again, many democrats haven't conceded losses, ...

Who cares?   Focus on what we are talking about.

The answer to the former is most likely and to the latter is totally without merit.  

Explain why you think the latest indictment most likely has no merit.   You realize that you are stating these are frivolous lawsuits.   That Trump did not engage in the stated actions.   That the accusers  invented actions by Trump.

There you go again. The burden isn't on the accused. You want to argue that he broke the law. Some might say make your case. I say the deep state has pulled too much shit already. They haven't faced any consequences. One that the American people can deliver would be a nullification of all verdicts via the ballot box.


Explain why you think the latest indictment most likely has no merit. 

Because it conflates the questioning of an election with trying to overturn it.

The Constitution allows people/candidates to question election results :

Explaining how Congress settles electoral college disputes | Constitution Center  

In 2016 there were democrats who did anything they could to change the outcome :

House Dems who challenged 2016 election results escalate fight with Republicans behind 2020 challenges | Fox News

Do I think Trump asked GA officials to manufacture votes? Of course not.

The Constitution allows people/candidates to question election results :

The law requires that when you make complaints to the government about, well, anything, that you do so honestly - in good faith.

Think, for example, about filing a police report. We hear this kind of thing all the time. Filing a false police report is a crime. If you claim you’ve been wronged, when you know you haven’t, that’s a crime.

When there is a form involved, it typically has a place for a signature right under the words:

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of [jurisdiction] that the foregoing is true and correct.

Or words to that effect. Hopefully, you get the idea. You can’t just jerk government officials around with bullshit hoping to make things go your way.

There is substantial evidence that Donald Trump made multiple claims of election fraud that he knew were false. That’s a crime. There are other allegations, of course, like conspiring to produce false electors, but when you say he “questioned election results” these phony claims of election fraud are what we are talking about.

No shit, Vic.   I asked you to be specific and you engage in a strawman trying to make it look as though I have suggested that the burden of proof in a lawsuit is on the accused.   Intellectual dishonesty.

Because it conflates the questioning of an election with trying to overturn it.

The indictment does not charge Trump with questioning the results of the election, it charges him with trying to steal it.    You keep doing this.   Instead of being honest about the indictment you pretend it has no merit ... you falsely misrepresent it as charging Trump with merely questioning the results of an election.

Why engage in such obvious intellectual dishonesty?   Do you think readers are so stupid that they actually will believe that Trump was indicted merely because he questioned the results of an election?    And if you think this is the case I suggest you read the indictment before typing another word.

Do I think Trump asked GA officials to manufacture votes? Of course not.

It wasn’t released to the media. It appeared on the website, probably accidentally, and only for a brief time before it was caught and taken down.

Guess Willis, or one of the Fulton County Clerks, wanted to get a jump on the proceedings.

How would that work? The bill can’t issue until the grand jury votes on it, and they were in court while this was going on, not watching TV. Regardless, all the document contained is the very charges they voted on. They were hearing about the charges at the same time it was “leaked.” It didn’t change anything.

Don't expect anyone to be held accountable.

Accountable for what? A harmless clerical error? What kind of accountability would you like?

From the transcript of the "perfect" phone call:

Trump:   Well, you have to. Well, under the law you’re not allowed to give faulty election results, OK? You’re not allowed to do that. And that’s what you done. This is a faulty election result. And honestly, this should go very fast. You should meet tomorrow because you have a big election coming up and because of what you’ve done to the president — you know, the people of Georgia know that this was a scam. And because of what you’ve done to the president, a lot of people aren’t going out to vote and a lot of Republicans are going to vote negative because they hate what you did to the president. Okay? They hate it. And they’re going to vote. And you would be respected. Really respected, if this thing could be straightened out before the election. You have a big election coming up on Tuesday. And therefore I think that it is really important that you meet tomorrow and work out on these numbers. Because I know Brad that if you think we’re right, I think you’re going to say, and I’m not looking to blame anybody. I’m just saying you know, and, you know, under new counts, and under uh, new views, of the election results, we won the election. You know? It’s very simple. We won the election. As the governors of major states and the surrounding states said, there is no way you lost Georgia, as the Georgia politicians say, there is no way, you lost Georgia. Nobody. Everyone knows I won it by hundreds of thousands of votes. But I’ll tell you it’s going to have a big impact on Tuesday if you guys don’t get this thing straightened out fast.

"On Monday afternoon, the Fulton County Court’s website posted a document listing the same charges included in the indictment released late Monday night. Reuters first reported on the document, before the Fulton County Court quickly removed it from the website." Later a Fulton County Clerk declared it to be fake and that people should look for the Fulton County Court letterhead. However when the indictment finally was released late into the night, because the grand jury supposedly rendered its verdict at around 8:00 PM the two documents appeared to be identical. How can that be? It seems every one of these prosecutions turns up another piece of questionable actions on the part of the prosecution.

Of course, the problem with all of that is that you sometimes encourage people to make stuff up to save their own skins. As a matter of fact, Paul Manafort was a guest on Hannity last night and he said that is exactly what the Mueller team tried to get him to do: lie about Trump.

That is another issue. Is it really Constitutional?  Guilt by association? Why was it so hard to figure out how to use it, Guiliani being the first?  Why was it only used against the mob in the beginning?  Why is it allowed to be used so broadly in the state of Georgia?

First, show me the charge for Tweeting. Reproduce the allegation that says he violated the law by Tweeting. You said it. You can support it.

Additionally, the indictments (all of them in multiple jurisdictions) are matters of public record and available for you to read online. As with any criminal complaint, they detail specific actions the defendant took and tie those actions to specific and real criminal codes. 

Please stop with childish bullshit like claiming they want to put him in prison for Tweeting. Holy shit, that’s stupid.

That's actually the law in Georgia.  It's all public record.

After a grand jury votes to charge someone with a crime, the presiding judge then reveals the indictment in open court. When an indictment becomes public, jurors’ names will appear on the document.

Georgia   code   provides a form specifying the format of indictments, including a line to list grand juror names. That’s not the case in federal indictments, which sometimes include just the name of the grand jury foreperson.

In Georgia, grand jurors who are not present for a vote are crossed out. How each grand juror voted is not listed.

Why Georgia grand jurors’ names are made public and what else to know as Trump investigation comes to a head – WABE

There’s no reason that would have mattered. Perhaps if it had been released days before and discussed in the media, that might have some influence on the jury. But these people seem to have been in court when this happened, and they were already hearing the list of charges from the prosecutor, along with his evidence and arguments in support.

So do you hold that this indictment has merit or is without merit?

I'm still waiting for the Dems to start indictment proceedings against Trump for tying his left shoe first instead of his right shoe in the mornings, or for putting his left leg into his pants first instead of putting the right leg in, or for not eating as much ice cream as their faulty leader, or using an ink pen versus a ballpoint pen with an eraser.

I tell ya - it's gotta happen. Those are some pretty damning crimes - purely 'cause Trump does them?

Your comment suggests that you think the indictments are without merit.   You compare the serious charges in these indictments with tying shoe laces improperly.   That type of hyperbole accomplishes nothing.

Make a case 1st.   It gets old watching people make vacuous, hyperbolic claims.

Illustrate based on the contents of the indictments, facts that are publicly known, evidence publicly known, and the ties in the indictment to US code that the indictments are, predominantly, without merit.

If you cannot do that, your eating ice cream level comments just illustrate that you are making emotional rather than factual claims.

Judge Scott McAfee

Superior Court of Fulton County

"McAfee was appointed to the court by Gov.   Brian Kemp   (R-GA) this year after serving as inspector general in the Georgia Office of the State Inspector General,   according to   the county court's website. He has experience as a prosecutor and in the county where the case resides, having served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia and a senior assistant district attorney in Fulton County in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit.

The Georgia judge will play a prominent role in the racketeering case, notably by picking the date when it will begin. Fulton County District Attorney   Fani Willis   said in a Monday night press conference she is seeking a trial "within the next six months," but it will ultimately be McAfee's decision. Trump has already   slammed a proposal   by special counsel Jack Smith in a separate case against him for that trial to begin early next year, stating it would interfere with the 2024 Republican presidential primary."

On Monday afternoon, the Fulton County Court’s website posted a document listing the same charges included in the indictment released late Monday night.

Well, sure. Of course. Grand jurors are not the authors of the indictment. The prosecutor is. So, of course, the document existed before the grand jury voted on it. The prosecutor writes out the charges, and the grand jury votes on it. 

Unless this somehow corrupted the grand jury process - and I’ve heard of no evidence that it did - this is really a non-issue. Honestly, I don’t even know how this could corrupt the process.

Very straightforward question that goes to the heart of this article yet no thoughtful reply.

One can argue that this and other indictments are strictly politically motivated.   But to do that one must establish that the indictments are without merit.  

Can you show that the charges in these indictments have no basis in evidence?   That they are frivolous?

If so, let's hear your sound argument.

If not, your claim of political prosecution is bullshit.

What Comey did wasn't "done to" candidate Hillary it was "done for" president Hillary.  Comey knew the material on that laptop existed since the end of August or early September that year, he waited on it to keep it from doing too much damage to Hillary's campaign and then exonerated her again before the election to keep president Hillary from facing possible impeachment hearings from a then hostile congress.  Comey was in the bag for Hillary and using his position in the FBI he did what he could do to protect her AND everything he could do to harm Trump.

  • Some live in their own reality and firmly believe that Trump did nothing wrong and they will not let facts change their minds.   Confirmation Bias.
  • Others cannot admit Trump did wrong because they feel the need to defend the GOP.   Dysfunctional partisanship.
  • Others know Trump did wrong but cannot admit it because they are going to vote for him (as the most likely GOP nominee) because they cannot vote for a D.   Blind partisanship.
And would they be totally cool with Joe Biden doing the exact same shit?
