Signs grow of Trump subpoenas and indictments in New York and Georgia
Washington Examiner ^ | 05/17/2021 | Paul Bedard

Legal experts are picking up “signals” that the Trump team is bracing for subpoenas or indictments in the New York City and Georgia investigations into the former president.

Washington, D.C.-based public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, who prompted the election interference investigation in Georgia, said the case is heating up. He noted that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is struggling for documents from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who is said to be “lawyering up.”

Meanwhile, Willis has hired a special prosecutor who had a role in the Whitewater case against former President Bill Clinton.

Banzhaf also noted that in New York, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. has added a forensic accountant in his investigation of old Trump financial deals and taxes.

In both cases, the political geography doesn’t favor former President Donald Trump. In New York, said Banzhaf, Vance is not running for another term and “just might want to end his already-illustrious career with a bang.”

And in Georgia, Banzhaf said that Willis “is a Democrat in a heavily Democratic county. Therefore, most members of a grand jury, and of any criminal trial juries in this county, are likely to be very unfriendly to Trump, especially now that he has lost a lot of his clout and his ability to reach out easily on social media with most of his followers.”

Over the weekend, Banzhaf also pointed to other legal troubles potentially for Trump, with the General Services Agency agreeing to turn over records requested by House Transportation Chairman Peter DeFazio on the Trump International Hotel lease of the Old Post Office Building. And Trump’s former White House lawyer has agreed to appear before a congressional investigating committee.

“So there's ever-growing evidence that the noose is tightening around Trump, and that a criminal indictment against him

“Noose tightening”

This is continuing the coup and unconstitutional political war that the GOP will NOT defend.

The Democrats are fomenting a full on insurrection of this nation and turning us into a communist state.

Big talk, but the truth is, they can push as far and as long they want, because they know there ain't anyone who will push back.

Nothing but a smear campaign. Another invented/contrived set of allegations assembled from hearsay, false witness and edited documents. This is round 2(round 1 was the deep state impeachment attempt after Trump left office)... to knock Trump out of the ring and unable to run again for POTUS.

The Democrat propaganda complex and George Soros operatives are is in high gear.

They stole a presidential election. And got away with it (so far). I think we are already a communist state.

They’ll figure out something. Doesn’t need to be real (and it won’t be). The purpose here is not to serve justice against a criminal, but rather to make the bad orange man suffer. They want to distract him from his work, take away his money, and steal the time he has left on this Earth keeping him tied up in nonsense process.

Anyone bringing an indictment against him for a bunch of nonsense should immediately be sued for prosecutorial misconduct and abuse of authority.

Or what exactly?! People won't do sh*t if Trump is indicted on what appears to be bogus charges,

It’s just what fascists do.

Soft fascists harass their political enemies, even when they are innocent.
Hard fascists shoot their political enemies, even when they are innocent.

I guess we’re lucky that we’re still in “soft fascist” mode. At any rate, none of this can be done without a fawning and compliant press. And that’s exactly what we’ve got these days.
