Wonder how many other States can and should bring similar charges.

Actually, I don’t. We know all six of them.

Somehow I doubt that this is what Sidney Powell had in mind when she foretold legal fireworks in Georgia. Krakens, indeed.

There needs to be a thorough investigation. We likely only know about a fraction of the effort to overturn the GA election results. If crimes occurred, they need to be prosecuted to prevent other attempts from occurring in the future. Why did they make election fraud laws if they aren’t going to enforce them? Collect the information, prosecute if crimes occurred, and let everyone know what happened here.

these headlines are starting to get to me.
the maybe’s, weighing in, possibly, could be, might be etc.
it’s a pretty well known fact what the criminals have done.
fill in the paperwork with the known facts then arrest and prosecute.
start with trump on the 21st and he will give you all the names you need, as if we couldn’t guess them already.

That is an interesting point. You know if his tail is in a sling he will roll on anyone to get out of it. Wonder what that might materialize. Or Junior. In that case, holding him for 24 hours might produce results if he partakes as people indicate.

It’s a textbook case - plain as day. If they can’t or refuse to prosecute - because of intimidation and MAGA’s continued influence - then all the laws are worthless and the cult will have won.

One thing, maybe the only thing, trump is good at is blaming others. He will sing like a bird.

Mentioned in the article are Board of Elections member David Worley and local prosecutor Fani Willis. Both are serious people.

Not in the article is this:

ā€œIf you took the fact out that he is the president of the United States and look at the conduct of the call, it tracks the communication you might see in any drug case or organized crime case,ā€ said Michael J. Moore, the former U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Georgia. ā€œIt’s full of threatening undertone and strong-arm tactics.ā€

TPM got some ink here…

"The online news site Talking Points Memo, which first reported Pak’s resignation, said it obtained a memo dated Monday in which Pak said ā€œunforeseen circumstancesā€

All roads lead somewhere.

Trump and, one hopes, Lindsey Graham, will soon suffer criminal legal jeopardy in Fulton County, Georgia. This is the very beginning of a world of hurt from many jurisdictions coming for Don the Con and his lackeys soon.

Republicans investigating and prosecuting Republicans! It’s the only way this thing has any credibility, given the polarization of Republicans in general.
