Willis’ indictment is the most outrageous, outlandish misuse of a RICO statute
ever seen, and it fails to establish even a credible threshold violation of the law.
DA Willis claims that the “Trump conspiracy” contained a
“common plan and purpose” to commit two or more acts of
racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia,
and......get this..... in “other states,” including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada,
New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.
Apparently, Fulton County DA Willis thinks she not only has statewide jurisdiction in Georgia, but also has jurisdiction over acts that supposedly happened in six other states and the District of Columbia.
I am sure the attorneys general of those states will be surprised to learn that.

Indeed Willis opened a can of worms for herself thinking she could pull of the scam with legal mumbo jumbo.
It’ll be like a teenager in a battle of wits with William F Buckley.
Willis manufactured this egregious “case” with seemingly unfathomable, unforgivable ignorance
of an American’s freedom to speak, to engage in political activity, and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances that is protected by the First Amendment.
By naming as alleged co-conspirators the lawyers who were representing Trump and providing
him with advice and counsel in the legal actions that were in the state and before legislators during
public hearings and in private conversations, Willis is also attacking the fundamental way our justice system works, wherein lawyers are tasked with vigorously pursuing the interests of their clients.
Under the crazy legal theories being pushed in Willis’ indictment, every lawyer in Georgia
who represents a defendant and makes statements that turn out to be wrong or legal arguments
that are ultimately rejected could be accused of conspiring with his or her client to commit a crime.
IOW, a lawyer could be charged with a crime for doing what the professional code of conduct
tells the lawyer he is supposed to do; represent the interests of his client to the best of his abilities.
What did I say earlier, they’re targeting only the 2020 swing states?
