Grand Jury Returns Indictment In Georgia Election Case Against Trump, Allies | Eastern NC Now

    A Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury returned a 98-page indictment on Monday night in the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    The 41-count indictment charges 19 individuals, including Trump, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Ken Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Jenna Ellis, Ray Stallings Smith III, Robert Cheeley, Mike Roman, David Shafer, Shawn Micah Tresher Still, Stephen Lee, Harrison Floyd, Trevian Kutti, Sidney Powell, Cathleen Latham, Scott Hall, and Misty Hampton.

    Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pursued charging individuals under Georgia's RICO Act which allows prosecutors to "string together crimes committed by different people toward one common goal," Axios reported, which makes it very difficult for defense attorneys to implement a "coherent trial strategy."

    The lengthy prison sentences that come with being convicted of RICO violations are "a major incentive for co-defendants to seek deals in return for new evidence," the report added.

    In the state of Georgia, the governor does not have the ability to pardon convicts, that power rests with a Board of Pardons and Paroles, which "requires that a sentence be completed at least five years prior to applying for a pardon," the report added. A U.S. president would not be able to pardon Trump in the case.

    The case can also be broadcast on television so the public is able to witness all the evidence that is being presented.

    The Trump campaign released a statement that called Willis a "rabid partisan who is campaigning and fundraising on a platform of prosecuting President Trump through these bogus indictments."

    The statement claimed that Willis "strategically stalled her investigation to try and maximally interfere with the 2024 presidential race and damage the dominant Trump campaign" and that the accusations contained in it were "fabricated."

    The statement blasted the indictment as "election interference or election manipulation" and said that Trump used his First Amendment rights to challenge what he has claimed was a "rigged and stolen election that the Democrats do all the time."

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?

  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.

  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.

  Who cares? It's Trump.
