The Fulton County judge overseeing the Georgia 2020 election case dismissed some charges against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, although other charges remain.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said three of the charges against Trump must be quashed, per The Associated Press.
Time to stop this Dung Beetle charade and move on. The 2020 election was stolen and that’s now history. We’ve had four years of the demented sh*thead destroying America and it’s too late to do anything about it. His buddy, Kenyan boy, is proud of him.
That’s about right. I’m looking for the Order filed with the Court. So far, all I can find is the story.
Krytens’ a lib?.....who knew 🤷
After he throws out the whole DA’s office the charges will be too miniscule for any reasonable new prosecutor to bother with....in a sane world.
Fox is reporting 6 charges were dropped not 3
I bet the GA Tourism peeps issued a “Save our seeking ship” plea.
6 inclncludes others......3 are trump specific
I'm not at all confident this RINO judge appointed by Never-Trumper Kemp is going to do that.
“Fox is reporting 6 charges were dropped not 3”
The judge quashed 6 of the charges...3 of them are against Trump.
Infuriating isn’t it? The deceitful scums of the left and complicit RINO’s stole the 2020 election yet Trump gets prosecuted for daring to challenge the process of it. Criminals prosecuting the law abiding victims is actually what it is. Prayers for divine karma because this system is corrupt as hades.

Why is Fani still on the case? She and Wade LIED under oath and profited from their lies.
“Some charges” should be ALL charges.
Ruling on that is expected, in days.

While the averments do contain a reference to the terms of the violated oaths, this Court finds that the incorporation of the United States and Georgia Constitutions is so generic as to compel this Court to grant the special demurrers. On its own, the United States Constitution contains hundreds of clauses, any one of which can be the subject of a lifetime’s study. Academics and litigators devote their entire careers to the specialization of a single amendment.
To further complicate the matter, the Georgia Constitution is not a “mere shadow[]” of its federal counterpart, and although some provisions feature similar language, the Georgia Constitution has been interpreted to contain dramatically different meanings. See, e.g., Nels S.D. Peterson, Principles of Georgia Constitutional Interpretation, 75 Mercer L. Rev. 1, 11 (2023).
This is in marked contrast with say, aggravated assault with a handgun, which can be perpetrated “in only a limited number of ways,” and an indictment that merely refers to a handgun is “not too vague” because it infers that “the weapon was used either as a firearm or as a bludgeon.” Arthur v. State, 275 Ga. 790, 791 (2002).7
The Court’s concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants – in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal. As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited. Kimbrough, 300 Ga. at 884. They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways. Id. at 882. Under the standards articulated by our appellate courts, the special demurrer must be granted.

a closer read would show 3 charges specifically related to trump.
remember there is a RICO case going on here with dozens of defendants.
