Georgia prosecutors considering racketeering and conspiracy charges in probe of effort to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss, source says

Atlanta-area prosecutors are considering bringing racketeering and conspiracy charges in connection with Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

Investigators have a large volume of substantial evidence related to a possible conspiracy from inside and outside the state, including recordings of phone calls, emails, text messages, documents, and testimony before a special grand jury.

Their work, the source said, underscores the belief that the push to help Trump was not just a grassroots effort that originated inside the state.

The special grand jury met for roughly seven months in Atlanta and heard testimony from 75 witnesses, including some of Trump’s closest advisers from his final weeks in the White House. It recommended issuing multiple indictments in their final report, according to the jury foreperson who spoke out in a media blitz.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could make decisions on charges this spring, the source said. Willis will bring her charging recommendations to the regularly seated grand juries, who each serve two-month terms. Two regular Fulton County grand juries were seated in early March, and the next batch of two are scheduled to be sworn-in early May.

Investigators have at least three recordings of Trump pressuring Georgia officials, including a phone call that he made to the Georgia House speaker to push for a special session to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in the state.

There is also a recording of Trump’s call to a top investigator with the Georgia Secretary of State’s office in December 2020, while they were looking into quashed allegations of irregularities with signature-matching in Cobb County in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

As a Believer, I have always had a hard time accepting the theory of Evolution. However, I now believe that Democrats are descended from pond scum and are the product of the infinite negative mutations that had to have taken place. Since mutations create biological defects in a species it stands to reason that Democrats are dumber than pond scum. Which is why we need to drain the swamp.

source with knowledge of the investigation.

Kind of sounds familiar, doesn’t it? RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.

“Former and current officials” “sources familiar” “Sources with knowledge”

IE - fake news....

If Trump is elected and he selects the RIGHT kind of prosecutorial staff - and he should replace ALL US prosecutors - and they conduct an HONEST investigation of the ENTIRE deep state AND selected Congressmen and and Senators, he will have to build a NEW federal prison a la El Salvador - with a GERIATRIC wing.

AND THEY KNOW IT AND FEAR him.
The Deep State from the Pentagon and USAG offices on down are FILLED with traitors and criminals.

Everyone knew many things the Trump campaign was hearing and seeing and believing about the 2020 election in Georgia. They aggressively pursued legal remedies and a publicity campaign.

Unless Trump knew it was all BS, it’s hard to make the case to me. I can absolutely believe people telling Trump what they thought he wanted to hear. He was desperate to achieve victory but I don’t believe he really believed he lost and tried to bully his way back into the oval office.

I expect Fulton will see what NY does and how that goes. The extent a political enemy would be targeted using the legal system in modern times is insane.

Equal justice under law doesn’t mean impossibly high standards for Trump and almost no standard for others. Trump is not a lawyer and depends on lawyers to help him achieve goals within the law.

So where are Florida, Texas and other GOP states in prosecuting Democrat officials - current and former - for crimes committed in their states?

Notice that “sources” or those “familiar with someone’s thinking” are always ready to leak info regarding Trump to CNN, NYT, and WaPo, along with a couple other reliably leftist sites. No info is every leaked regarding Biden, and any articles from conservative sites that cite reliable named sources are ignored by the same leftist media.

He cheated at Scrabble. I kept telling him “Kovfefe is not a word!” and he’d just smile and spell it a different way. It is a felony to cheat at board games in Zimbabwe, and we were passing over it on his plane. He paid me five bucks to keep my mouth shut. I returned it to him in shekels, so I could have him prosecuted in Zimbabwe, because Orange Man Bad./parody that will shortly become real
