Georgia Indicts Trump, Giuliani, Meadows, Powell, et al.

Better thread title? Release the Crackers!

[LuFins Dad]

Seriously though? The Georgia thing always had the sense of being the most serious and problematic if they had evidence beyond innuendo. It still is. Unfortunately, the NY crap over Stormy Daniels, the highly partisan Documents indictment, and the January 6th indictment really dilute this. It makes it look like so much bullshit.

And the grand juror really did hurt the perception of this whole thing.

I guess technically we have the potential of a President serving his term from prison.

Would tickle the feces out of me.

Then, maybe the Demoncratic Socialist Party doesn't go down this road again.

I think realistically they’d have to declare him incapacitated under the 25A for the duration of his incarceration.

Just remember...If the silliness succeeds goes unprosecuted, this is how the game will be played from now on.

To not prosecute his coup attempt would effectively legalize the tactics they employed.

When Trump tries to steal an election, it's because he genuinely believes he won, which makes it ok.

[jon-nyc]

I suppose that’s ultimately why his people are ok with it.

But that just means they never gamed out what things would look like with such a norm.

In such a world elections would be merely opening bids, to be ultimately decided by whichever party controls the right state and judicial machinery.

I imagine Kemp is having a helluva week.

Georgia is what it comes down to. Can the prosecution provide the evidence that Trump (not co… Trump) illegally interfered.

[jon-nyc]

I’ve read they have recordings of calls between Trump and Rafensberger besides the one the public has heard.

Coup attempt!

Are you out of your rabid-ass mind?

[jon-nyc]

Ok replace with “attempt to overturn an election” and the point still stands.

So...what happens when all those guys are removed?

[jon-nyc]

I don't know - the charges would be different under federal law, one presumes. Do they need a new grand jury? Does a USADA take over? I don't know.

I think it only applies to three of them out of the 18.
