Asking to “create” votes may be illegal but asking to “find” votes could be attributed to every politician who’s ever run for any office anywhere. Yeah, "find" isn't equal to "illegally create." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Just now, Doc said: Yeah, "find" isn't equal to "illegally create." And as I said in my other post, unless Fulton County can prove that the same illegality was simultaneously being pursued in dozens of other critical counties at the exact same time then this case seems to be more about “look at how important we are” than anything else. This was NOT a local election. Finding votes in Fulton County would not have changed the outcome of a national election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was, some of the actions that the indictment alleges include trying to get the Georgia legislature to change the outcome for the entire state. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not arguing about ‘how it works’. I’m demonstrating what the defense will look like. 2. Which would not have changed the national election.

Thanks "This criminal organization constituted an enterprise as that term is defined in O.C.G.A. § 16-14-3(3), that is, a group of individuals associated in fact.

Does Fulton County even have standing to conduct and investigation in other states? (Honest question.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we have the Feds doing their own investigation. The Georgia investigation is built on violations of Georgia state law. While they cannot charge for the acts in the other states, they can present evidence of them occurring to the jury. The defense can try to explain it away and it'll be up to the jurors to decide who is more believable. For the RICO charge, they just need to prove at least two of the overt acts listed in the charge. They have listed 161 acts, so it would be quite surprising for them to be unable to prove 160 of them.

I find this case, surrounding a national election, to be patently ridiculous. It opens a Pandora’s box that should’ve remained closed. This has to be left to the federal courts. I’ll save you the response….we can agree to disagree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Trump supporters post names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online "The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned. *** The grand jurors have come under attack in the days since Trump's indictment, the fourth criminal indictment brought against the twice-impeached former president. “These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," read one post on a pro-Trump forum in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News." Can't say it's surprising. The first thing I thought when I saw the indictment had the names of the jurors on it was that they'd be doxxed and threatened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sympathy given how the commie left has done business for seven years. The GA system makes grand jurors names public. Too bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
