Grand jury that will probe Trump on Georgia election meddling is seated
CNBC ^ | May 2, 2022 | Dan Mangan

The special grand jury that will help investigate former President Donald Trump for possibly criminal meddling in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election was seated Monday after a selection process that took less than 90 minutes.

The probe employing the grand jury, seated in Atlanta, likely represents the biggest threat of criminal prosecution that Trump currently faces.

While still president, and waiting for Congress to confirm President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory, Trump in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him enough votes to overturn Biden’s victory in that state.

That call, and contacts other people made with the state’s attorney general and a top federal prosecutor in Georgia, are being eyed in the criminal investigation. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is overseeing the probe.

Grand jury selection began Monday morning in the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta.

A total of 200 potential grand jurors were summoned for the selection process. Out of that group, 23 jurors and three alternates were quickly picked for the panel, which can meet for up to one year.

The grand jury, which will have the power to subpoena testimony from witnesses and to obtain evidence, will not start taking testimony until next month. The lag will give jurors time to arrange their schedules and to wait until the May 24 primary in the state, where Raffensperger and other potential witnesses are on the ballot.

Discovery into what actually happened in the election is what i would go for.
Find because there was cheating. Find, not change. Big difference. Open the door to factual allegations of cheating...

They won’t find THAT info; they’re only after TRUMP’s evidence and conviction.

Show them the movie "200 Mules" about election fraud, particularly in Georgia.

Video. Phone tracking evidence.

Investigating the call that had fifty eleven attorneys on the line. Yeh, I’m sure they all let Trump commit a crime. 😅

If they are going to investigate former presidents now, why aren’t they investigating Obama for spying on Trump? That seems like a lot bigger deal to me. What happened to the selling of Uranium by Hillary? So many dem crimes to investigate, but they all want to concentrate on Trump. Hmmm..

Hey.... Dinesh DSouza found the votes Trump was looking for. Boxes and boxes of them. Strange the Georgia GOP couldnt.

Maybe the Grand Jury should watch 2000 Mules

I fail to see how asking the SoS to quickly investigate fraud constitutes a felony.

Our MAGA President, his family and associates are the most persecuted people on earth.

Meanwhile, the Biden and Clinton crime families wallow in kickbacks, pay-to-play, and skimming cash.

Sad.

Will the CA phone banks being paid by RATS pushing GA be included as evidence?
I know someone who worked the phones as she told me.
