Fulton Co. (Georgia) DA indicts Trump, 18 others for challenging election

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis obtained indictments against former President Donald J. Trump and 18 others Monday night. In essence, she accused them of racketeering in connection with Trump’s attempt to challenge 2020 election results in Georgia.

Why Fulton County?

Willis began her investigation in February 2021, over a telephone call Trump made to Georgia Secretaryh of State Brad Raffensperger. Allegedly, Trump said, “find me 11,780 votes” (Biden’s winning margin in Georgia), but Raffensperger would not help. And in January 2022, Willis asked for a special grand jury, one that would focus on only one case.

Fulton County, of course, contains Atlanta, site of the infamous Suitcase Scandal. Most Atlanta voters cast their votes at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Around midnight November 3, the Chief Officer of Election at the site announced that a water main had broken. That person ordered all election challengers (“poll watchers”) to leave. After they left, four OOEs (“poll workers”) reached under a black-draped table and pulled out several “suitcases” (election equipment and supply carriers) apparently containing pre-filled-out ballots in batches. Not only that, they started running those ballots through a scanner up to forty times.

WATCH: Footage of State Farm Arena in #Atlanta shows that after poll monitors and media were told counting was done, four workers stayed behind to count #ballots, at times pulling out suitcases containing ballots from underneath desks.

As an Officer of Election himself, your correspondent can attest: there is neither good reason nor excuse for such behavior. But the Trump legal team tried to get a hearing on this controversy, but the courts dismissed their challenge for lack of standing.

Hugo Chavez won his election on August 16, 2004 on national television and radio after 94% of the vote had been counted using Dominion Voting Systems. DVS was also used in the 2020 U.S. election.

Jan 6th was portrayed as an attack but growing evidence of government infiltration, restricted footage, and data so we must ask why was there so much slander if Republicans had Senate and Congress reps objecting the 2020 election prior to January 6 2021?https://t.co/QJG0ijgmZ1 pic.twitter.com/3u2YKF7Dny— Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) May 25, 2023

A mistaken post?

The 98-page indictment accuses not only Trump but 18 other people:

Mark Meadows, former White House Chief of Staff in the Trump administration,
Rudy Giuliani, attorney and former Mayor of New York City,
Jenna Ellis, attorney,
John Eastman, attorney,
Kenneth Chesebro, attorneyu,
Ray Smith, attorney,
Robert Cheeley, attorney,
Sidney Powell, attorney,
Shawn Still, Trump elector candidate,
Cathy Latham, Trump elector candidate,
David Shafer, Trump elector candidate,
Stephen Lee, pastor,
Misty Hampton, officer of election,
Trevian Kutti, publicist,
Jeffrey Clark, former Assistant, then Acting Attorney General,
Mike Roman, Trump campaign official,
Scott Hall, and
Harrison Floyd, leader of Black Voices for Trump.

In a still-unexplained event, the Fulton County Court published a list of thirteen charges before the grand jury finished voting. The clerk deleted them, but not before X influencer Clay Travis screencapped them and shared them:

The charges against Trump are the exact same ones that were accidentally posted to Atlanta’s Fulton County website ten hours ago, before the grand jury had even voted to indict. The same leak the court labeled “fictitious” a few hours ago. So pathetic. See for yourself. https://t.co/YY6s0CDeBD pic.twitter.com/tfzdoRkCRU— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) August 15, 2023

In fact, even rival Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shared his own screencap, together with this scathing commentary:

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,… pic.twitter.com/LOYkGcCgm5— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) August 14, 2023

State Senator Colton Moore (R-Trenton, Ga.) called this morning for a review of Willis’ actions in a special legislative session.

As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis.

Moore went further, calling for defunding the Fulton county D.A.’s office.

We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis.

I’m calling on patriots across America to join me in this fight.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Tuesday (August 15) that he, then representing Vice-President Al Gore in 2000, did the same things now charged in the indictment. “Now they’re making it a crime,” Dershowitz said, and lamented that in no uncertain terms.
