TFG Committed 'Multiple Crimes' With Georgia Election Interference, Analysis Suggests

Former President Donald Trump appears to have committed "multiple crimes" in his effort to overturn the 2020 Georgia elections results, a new legal analysis suggests.

In early January, The Washington Post reported leaked audio of a call between Trump and Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which the former president urged the Republican official to "to find 11,780 votes" in his favor to overturn President Joe Biden's victory in the southern state. Trump made a similar effort to pressure Georgia's GOP Governor Brian Kemp to illegally block Biden's win.

"We conclude that Trump's post-election conduct in Georgia leaves him at substantial risk of possible state charges predicated on multiple crimes," said the report released Friday by the Brookings Institution, a think tank in Washington, D.C.

"These charges potentially include criminal solicitation to commit election fraud; intentional interference with performance of election duties; conspiracy to commit election fraud; criminal solicitation; and state RICO violations," the legal analysis explained.

I doubt he will be held accountable by the DOJ or Georgia.
I think the powers that be decided they don't want to make a precedent by prosecuting a former president. Hopefully I am proven wrong..

We all know he’s a criminal so spare us these puff pieces. You can wake me up when they have him in handcuffs.
