Ahead of former President Donald Trumps return to Georgia, legal experts with the Brookings Institution think tank published a detailed analysis Friday of the potential criminal investigation he faces in Fulton County linked to his outspoken efforts to overturn the states election results.
The 107-page report, written by seven legal analysts, concludes that Trumps post-election conduct leaves him at substantial risk of possible state charges predicated on multiple crimes. It was published a day before Trump is set to hold a rally in Perry to promote a slate of state Republican candidates.
Much of the report centers on the Jan. 2 phone call between Trump and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger first reported by The Washington Post and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. During that call, Trump badgered the GOP elections official to find enough votes to reverse his narrow defeat.
But it also outlines a host of other potential criminal infractions surrounding his push to invalidate the election, including direct calls to Gov. Brian Kemp and state Attorney General Chris Carr, and efforts by his attorney Rudy Giuliani to lobby state legislators to take extraordinary action.

IMHO they won't throw him in jail for this but could he be barred from a GA ballot in the future?

Id like to see his risk turn into successful prosecution.
Besides prison I would like TFG to have a gag order. Oh that would be so satisfying to know he wasnt allowed to speak about his case. It would be torture for him.
I can dream cant I?

That would be great.
