Grand jury that could soon decide on Trump charges is seated in Georgia

KEY POINTS

 

Grand juries that were seated in Atlanta on Tuesday could soon decide whether to charge former President Donald Trump and his allies over their efforts to overturn his loss in Georgia's 2020 election.

The criminal investigation into potential election interference began two-and-a-half-years earlier, shortly after a recording leaked of a phone call in which Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn President Joe Biden's victory in the Peach State.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the prosecutor who has led the probe, said she will announce her charging decisions this summer within the period starting Tuesday and ending Sept. 1. Willis further indicated that indictments could come in August: In a letter to court officials, she asked that trials and in-person hearings not be scheduled between July 31 and Aug. 18.

The two grand juries empaneled Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court will sit for a two-month term. Judge Robert McBurney presided over the selection process.

Willis could use either, or both, of the grand juries to seek charges in her criminal probe, NBC News reported. If she does, the grand jury members will have to vote to return indictments.

“a phone call in which Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the Peach State.”

FTA...
If he is charged in Georgia, Trump will be facing criminal prosecution in three separate cases as he runs for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Since launching his latest White House bid, Trump has been charged in Manhattan with falsifying business records and was hit with federal charges over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

He has pleaded not guilty in both cases, and currently boasts a wide lead in Republican presidential primary polls.

How is this a county thing and not state? How is it not thrown out due to standing?

In 2000, Al Gore’s minions spent a month trying to find enough votes in Florida to overturn George W. Bush’s election. But that was OK because Gore is a Democrat.

Trump will be charged in every case. This was planned a long time ago.

The chances of Trump getting indicted in Georgia are 99.9999% it’s pretty much guaranteed.

Besides the two current indictments, plus the impending indictment in Georgia, Trump will almost certainly be indicted in Washington DC by the same prosecutor that charged him in South Florida.

It’s entirely possible by the time the primaries roll around or certainly before the General Election in 2024, Trump will be a convicted Felon.

It is entirely possible the Republicans will nominate a candidate for POTUS that is a convicted Felon. I don’t know how that is even possible.

Ask yourself, will Trump receive a fair trial in any of the locations much less in Washington DC and NYC.

The entire goal is to take Trump out of race for POTUS.

Correct. And no matter the outcome in Miami. No matter the outcome in Atlanta - Trump will continue to face more charges, more indictments and more lawfare.

Trump is facing Death by a Thousand Cuts.

Beats me....it was hardly an order...same thing Comey pulled in regard to Flynn (I (Comey) took it as an order)...and Comey was sure it was a “gotcha” moment in the future impeachment fiasco.

My Scottish buddy chuckles at that. “Fanny” has a related by different meaning in Scottish slang. Which is even more apporoppos.

Instructions to grand juries:

In answer to your questions, no, absolutely not.

You cannot take a vote and declare Donald Trump guilty now. You must wait for opening statements, evidence and closing arguments from counsel. You’ll have to wait.🏛️⚖️

Look...Trump said...Tell xxxxxxxx to go to the Post Office. Someone will be waiting with a big box that contains my favorite “recipes”. Make sure the chef gets them. He’s been cooking up things that agree with me for years.
