Trump, and 18 #MAGAllies indicted on #RICO charges in Georgia: This is much bigger than Watergate.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is giving all 19 defendants until Aug. 25 to voluntarily surrender.
This one is all extensive and there is no pardon able to be given for this one since it is a state charge. The indictment handed down has 41 counts including Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act which is reserved for people in organized crime.
Also charged are Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, Jenna Ellis, and Sidney Powell; former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows; former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark; a number of so-called fake electors, who signed certificates saying Trump won Georgia and that they were official electors, and which included former Georgia Republican Party Chair David Shafer. They now have until the end of the month to voluntarily turn themselves in.
Meanwhile, there are now calls for the former guy to drop out, from opponents who are reacting to his fourth criminal indictment.
“As someone who’s running for President against Trump, I’d volunteer to write the amicus brief to the court myself,” Vivek Ramaswamy said.
In 2020, District Attorney Fani Willis unseated her former boss, Paul Howard, securing 73 percent of the vote in Fulton County Georgia in Atlanta.
In 2021, Willis announced plans to probe Trump on his efforts to subvert the will of Georgia’s voters, including his campaign’s plot to assemble a slate of fake electors and Trump’s phone call to Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, asking him to “find 11,780 votes”, which would make him the winner over the democratically elected President Joe Biden.
In her first term as DA – and amid ongoing conversations about criminal justice reform in Georgia and beyond – Willis has not only prepared to face off with a former president and his legal team but she’s also been tough on crime in several other ways, too.
Since running for office, the Democratic official has made no apologies for being a liberal with conservative-leaning views on criminal justice or the fact that she was endorsed and received funding from a police union during her campaign. As DA, she’s indicted Grammy-award-winning rapper Young Thug and his music collective under Georgia’s racketeering statute, fought appeals from teachers she previously prosecuted during a high-profile standardized test cheating scandal, and sought the death penalty for a man who murdered four women during a shooting spree that targeted Asian spas in metro Atlanta.
Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act was enacted in 1980, a decade after the federal version, which has a notably narrower scope. The federal statute, for instance, requires that prosecutors show proof that there is a threat of ongoing racketeering activity. In Georgia, only two related acts are needed to prove a pattern.
Meanwhile, the former guy was most definitely insolent and infuriating as a toddler and continues to be worse today than yesterday.
