Fani Willis Makes Huge Mistake, Court May Throw Out Anti-Trump Case before It Starts
SLAY ^ | August 14, 2023 - 2:50 pm | David Hawkins

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has made such a huge mistake in her case against President Donald Trump that the Georgia court may throw it out before it even gets started.

The court’s website briefly posted a document listing several criminal charges against Trump.

The document was then quickly taken down without explanation.

It appears as though Willis’s office may have accidentally posted the document online, putting her entire get-Trump case in jeopardy.

The Grand Jury is meant to be in session until tomorrow.

The document revealed there are over a dozen charges against Trump, including Violating the Georgia RICO Act, Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer, and Filing False Documents.

There are also multiple conspiracy charges.

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called on Trump to move to have the charges dismissed:

“Here we go again: another disastrous Trump indictment.

“It’s downright pathetic that Fulton County publicly posted the indictment on its website even before the grand jury had finished convening.

“Since the four prosecutions against Trump are using novel & untested legal theories, it’s fair game for him to do the same in defense:

“Immediately file a motion to dismiss for a constitutional due process violation for publicly issuing an indictment before the grand jury had actually signed one.

“He should make a strong argument on these grounds and it would send a powerful message to the ever-expansive prosecutorial police state.

“As someone who’s running for President against Trump, I’d volunteer to write the amicus brief to the court myself:

“Prosecutors should not be deciding U.S. presidential elections, and if they’re so overzealous that they commit constitutional violations, then the cases should be thrown out and they should be held accountable.”

You need some space on that flag for a kangaroo or two.

From other reports of the story it seems they put up a list of proposed charges the GJ would vote on later. It may have been presented earlier, or not. I noted one numbered item missing, so likely it was to show a deleted possibility, and got put on the wrong routing list.

The grand jury has to vote before the indictments are announced? What is this country coming to?

Does there have to be a trial, or can the judge just hand down a sentence right now?

Note that the Vice President certifying votes on January 6 has been presented to us as a sort of rubber stamp. Pure ceremony. Not in any way a meaningful action.

The Indictments by a Grand Jury? Pretty much a rubber stamp. Going through the motions. The DA has already made all the decisions.

What is theater? What roles have legitimacy and meaning? At this point in our history, it’s hard to know.

If it gets thrown out that means the Dems were just using it for hype fuel and will blame Kemp for “political intimidation, racism, and sexism.”

It will be hard for Trump’s team to file for dismissal. It would shut off their hourly billings.

It’ll have to travel upstream a bit for a federal court to do right

I think the circuit of appeals in Atlantrica is reasonable as far as federal courts go

Barack wants to push out Biden and force Michelle to run. He wants Trump out of sight because even Barack knows his BS doesn’t play anymore.

The deep state don’t need no Georgia Hillbillies on some grand jury.

Since your State of Tennessee is a known Haven for Hillbillies and

Sand Mountain is a sandstone plateau in northeastern Alabama and (to a far lesser extent) northwestern Georgia and southeastern Tennessee where the plateau is known as Raccoon Mountain and Elder Mountain,
I'm gonna let that pejorative epithet slide.

“+1 for viveck today”

More like +10, as saying what he did will ensure that he continues to pull away from the rest of the pack (which DeSantis has now joined).

I was speaking from a Beltway bureaucracy point of view. Maybe I should have included a sarcasm tag?

Not likely. The Kangaroo Court will proceed.

Love that. Another Proverb says those who do such “Are both alike an abomination to the LORD”.

I go to these two Scriptures pretty often:

“There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.”—Prov. 21:30

“The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.”—Psalm 33:10
