Georgia grand jury hands up 10 indictments in Trump 2020 election investigation
New York Post ^ | August 14, 2024 | Samuel Chamberlain

Posted on 08/14/2023 6:21:39 PM PDT by Reno89519

The Georgia grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the Peach State handed up 10 indictments Monday night.

After approximately 10 hours of hearing testimony and voting on potential charges, the bill was presented to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who signed off on the charges shortly before 9 p.m.

Hours earlier, the court clerk’s office appeared to prematurely post the potential charges Trump was facing in the case.

The prematurely posted docket included 13 counts against the 77-year-old former president, including violation of the Peach State’s anti-racketeering law, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office.

It was unclear when the actual indictment would be unsealed by the clerk’s office, nor was it immediately known whether Trump or his key allies like former Mayor Rudy Giuliani would be charged in the case.

And how is Trump going to serve all these eleventy thousand prison sentences? Will he be in New York prison or Georgia prison or DC prison? Who will have dibs on him? Maybe there will be a time share arrangement? A yearly lottery to decide who gets to hold him? Or maybe he could deputize some proxies to sit in for him at various places?

Everything is so complicated in our new Clown World...

Good questions.

I have no answers, since they’re making it up as they go.

She wants to try all 19 together. Good luck with that.


She definitely won’t get her way on that one! cv

Did she say she has tried over 12,000 RICO cases? Follow-up question should have been: How many have been overturned on appeal? And that’s assuming she’s won many or any of those cases.

I think all of the trials will get delayed until after the November 2024 election. Democrats will rue the day the sought all of them as now it will be too many to try, just the lawyers wrangling could take years.

I agree, Trump is facing a lot right now. With only half of Republicans still strongly supporting him, and probably even less in Congress, he’s got an uphill battle. I hope he can pull it off, but the odds are certainly against him. But his loss, is not a total loss, for all conservatives or Republicans.

Trump did what he wanted, too many times, ignoring the advice of everyone, especially on things like J6, which gave the Democrats all the momentum that’s led to where we are now. Trump split the party and his support on that day. All the witnesses against him are his own former staff, including the VP, AG, and Chief of Staff.

So it’s not the grand battle of all D vs all R that you’re making it out to be. It’s Trump, and his supporters, against mostly D’s, but a lot of R’s as well. As I said, I hope he can somehow win these cases, else all Republicans will be smeared forever from here on. But that’s another reason I think a lot of Republicans still supporting him will start cutting their losses as well, to help the Party survive.

We are going to have to starve these people out.

If the capitalists that finance America would pull their woke heads out of their asses, and redirect capital out of the coastal urban areas that have made a killing during the era of globalization.

This current hateful political monstrosity can be handled in a humane fashion.

AMONG THOSE INDITCED IN GEORGIA:
- Donald Trump
- Sidney Powell
- Mark Meadows
- Rudy Giuliani
- John Eastman


Sidney Powell? Really? I find it hard to believe that Sidney Powell will surrender by noon tomorrow. If there was ever an example of an arrogant idiot, it is Fani Willis.

one corporation runs New York City...

At the top level, UNITED STATES INC runs the United States (since we switched from Common law to Maritime law). Like subsidiaries, but corporations nonetheless, are the 'State of XXX', fill in the xxx with your state. Under each state, are the corporate cities and towns. My small town was incorporated in the early 1700's, and their ubiquitous seal has the year of incorporation. Furthermore, some or all of the original colonies that became states started off as corporations - like Mass Bay Colony, a corporation under the crown. AFAIK, there was no change to this corporation when Mass Bay Colony transitioned to being called 'State of Massachusetts'. It is my understanding that all the corporations of government have CUSIPs and can be looked up in Dunn & Bradstreet (I once looked, but you had to fork over $'s to become a member first, to do so).

Georgia is one of 3 states where the governor has no power to pardon, pardons are handled buy a Pardons and Paroles Board, 5 or 7 members, appointed by the Governor.

Sorry, she is not bright enough to have concocted this on her own. She had help from DOJ.


Clearly! She is the DOJ’s perfect useful idiot.

That's a completely different argument. If that's what Trump, or his supporters wanted, then he should be running 3rd party right now. But he can't, because a Republican win is his only chance at a full pardon.

What we should be terrified about is simply the outright and intentional overreach. They don’t even try to hide their corruption of the law anymore, in fact, they are making a game of it.

True, I am a non-Trumper, will likely vote for someone else in the primary, BUT WILL CRAWL ON BROKEN GLASS TO VOTE FOR HIM IN THE NOVEMBER GENERAL IF HE IS THE NOMINEE.

We should be, but they found the perfect prey in Donald Trump. Too many on the right, are relieved, if not supportive of what is happening. And not all of those people, are bad people. I know of many, some in my own family, who are very religious, and very moral and principled, who simply do not like Trump based on his behavior, and lifestyle. They don't care about the minutia, because they don't like most politicians to begin with.

From where I’m sitting the republican party doesn’t survive this. And I’m going to take it a step further. I don’t think our political system survives this. What happens when one of the parties in a two-party system totally collapses?

At this point many republican voters will permanently abandon The GOP. They don’t fight for their voters, they don’t fight for America, they can’t even protect their presidential candidates. They are either powerless or enemy collaborators. I actually hold greater contempt for people like Mitch McConnell than I do Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi.

No, I don’t buy your analysis. I think all of these proceedings will be a death knell for the republican party. There’s been a growing dissatisfaction with the republican party for a while now. That’s how we got Trump in the first place.
