POLITICS 1 HOUR AGO

Don't expect the process to be simple or quick.

At the time, the audio was shocking: President Donald Trump had been recorded pressuring Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes.”

On Monday, more than a year later, prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, will begin the process of selecting a special grand jury to gather information about whether that call, and Trump’s other actions in Georgia, violated laws against election interference.

The jury selection process will kick off amid recent reports that a separate grand jury in New York has fizzled after six months without bringing any charges against the former president.

1. Not expecting a conviction in Georgia

So the benefit is the process and making the voting public aware.

3. Not exactly convening, but selection to begin.

I don’t think the GJ is expected to actually convene and begin hearing witnesses until June.

Of all the crimes Trump could potentially be indicted for, the ones in Georgia have the best odds for indictment IMO.

4. Lordy, there are tapes.

The comment that "a separate grand jury in New York has fizzled after six months without bringing any charges against the former president" is fucking ridiculous.
These are not the same crimes. Not even close.

8. More importantly, it's not the same DA. Nt

5. The Trump apologists here,

tell me it's too hard to prove criminal intent against Trump because he actually believes he won the state of Georgia, even though his lawyers and AG have told him otherwise.

[Novara]

6. If he believed he won, why did he pressure the GA SoS to manufacture 11,000 votes?

Ask them that.

If he won, he wouldn't have pressured election officials to manufacture votes.

7. Great news
