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.

Trump didn’t lose.

The investigation of racketeering should be for those who stole the election

Trump must have been a much larger existential threat to the financial interests of the corrupt powers that be than we can ever possibly know

Fraudulent election. He asked about it. That’s a crime to call out their treason.

Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election

He was not trying to "overturn" the election, he was trying to expose the fraud.

Atlanta; what a cesspool.

One hundred thousand Confederate soldiers died on the battlefield trying to prevent this very thing.

And twice that from noncombat death.

As far as the big corps go, agreed.

Both AT&T and Comcast relentlessly attacked Trump through their respective MSM properties. Both are telecom
