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.

“Who is next????? New Jersey, Kaliforniastan, Oregon, WA state, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, and other Communist Dimocrat controlled states.”

I’m surprised a Berkely California grand jury hasn’t chimed in yet.

Black precincts gave the election to Biden through mail in fraud etc

Now Soros backed black prosecutors are abusing their power to try to thwart Trump

Do any of you stupid nevertrumper lackeys here wonder why that is?

It is not about cheerleading the Republicans and hasn’t been for years

We have been thoroughly corrupted and they will do anything to stop out majority electoral power

And they are winning

So get your heads out of the sand at la playa ignoramus

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

The way the title was written, I actually thought that’s what it meant.

racketeering and conspiracy charges in connection with Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia????

When all Republican voters are wanting the truth also?
Then that’s a lot of racketeering and conspiracy charges for millions of Americans, because WE WANT THE TRIUTH!

Unlike DeSantis, Cruz was spot on.

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's “political persecution” of former President Donald Trump as “utter and complete crap.”

“The case from the Manhattan District Attorney, if they bring an indictment and charge him, is utter and complete crap…It is flimsy. It is weak,” Cruz said on his latest Verdict podcast episode. “It has been rejected by prosecutor after prosecutor after prosecutor. And it is obviously political retribution and a political persecution.

“[Bragg] hates Donald Trump. Now he has a right to hate Donald Trump. But he doesn't have a right to abuse and corrupt the justice system to persecute his political opponents. And that, sadly, is exactly what he's doing here,” the Texas senator continued.”

I never thought that there would be Lilliputians in Georgia, though. Not Brobdingnagians, but at least decent menchen.

Give em time. Trump lost Kaliforniastan, so really nothing out there. All those communists griping about high gas prices and stupid laws, yet they keep electing the same mob. Shooting their own toes off. Probably don’t have any toes left.
