Georgia Investigating Trump: The Fulton County DA has Opened Criminal Case File

 

Trump Calling the GA SOS (January 2)  

(Trump’s criminal activities in his own voice) 

Excellent reporting here from GA vis-à-vis Trump’s effort get votes there so he could have won the state (which he did not) here from CNN with this headline:

“Timeline: What Georgia prosecutors are looking at as they investigate Trump’s efforts to overturn the Election”

Washington (CNN) – Prosecutors in Georgia are still investigating whether former Trump broke any laws when he tried to overturn his 2020 defeat in the hotly contested state.

The probe ramped up earlier this year, with a grand jury convening in Atlanta.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis said the criminal investigation includes potential: “Solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local governmental bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office, and any involvement in violence or threats related to the election’s administration.”

Months after the election, new information is still coming to light about Trump’s potentially unlawful effort to overturn the results.

Recent reports indicate that Trump considered installing a loyalist as the Acting DOJ AG: Jeffrey Clark – see my updated post on that same subject here. 

That would be after Trump’s plan to fire Jeffrey Rosen, the AG at the time who took Barr’s place after Trump fired Barr – why? 

Clark agreed with Trump’s false claims about voter fraud and he was prepared to pressure election officials in GA and elsewhere to overturn the results.

Trump all along has claimed he didn’t do anything wrong and that the state investigation is politically motivated. Willis, who is a Democrat, was elected to her post last year.

Noteworthy is the detailed timeline of Trump’s public pressure campaign at the end of the CNN article. It has serious issues there and a bookmark for sure.

A key part from that timeline is this critical piece of information detailing Trump’s forceful phone call to GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, who oversees the state’s election process that took place on January 2 wherein Trump said to him: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”  

Note: Biden beat Trump by exactly 11,779 official votes.

Also Note: CNN obtained the audio of that call from a source who was in on the call and who had direct knowledge of the conversation. 

That entire 1-hour phone call is [click] here.

Continue the full story and that detailed timeline at the main CNN link.  An excellent record.

My 2 Cents: This great article speaks for itself … I encourage everyone to bookmark it … worth the time. 

As for me, I hope the Fulton County DA nails Trump with his many criminal charges since there are plenty to choose from.

Stay tuned.
