One needs to just look at what Fanni Willis requested ...she sent letters to all the Judges to block out 2 weeks of Court dockets beginning 8/7/23.....One can ask, " How often dose this happen?"...

Putting 2 and 2 together...seems to sound highly possible for many indictments to soon be issued in Georgia.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis sent a letter Thursday sent a letter to county Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville indicating that she plans to have much of her staff work remotely for most days during the first three weeks of August and asking that judges not schedule trials and in-person hearings during part of that time. Copied in on the letter are 20 other county officials, including Sheriff Pat Labat, the court clerk and top leaders.

“Thank you for your consideration and assistance in keeping the Fulton County Judicial Complex safe during this time,” Willis wrote in the letter, first reported by The New York Times.... end>

Video and Multimedia forum. The part about Fani Willis asking the judges in Georgia to clear their dockets for 2 weeks in August starts at 7:28 in the video. Glenn Kirschner of Justice Matters explains that she did it in order to prepare for several indictments coming down in August.

Graham made phone calls to Georgia officials and Meadows made in-person visits (and moved to upstate SC about a year ago).

The gist was that people would be shocked by the level of criminality, and of course, since then Willis has expanded the investigation. This figure wouldn't surprise me.

but, with that said, it sure looks like Fani is going RICO and she did tell judges to keep their courts clear for 2 weeks, so we do know that there may be 2 weeks of indictments.

What an asshole! He just makes bullshit up as he goes along.

'It's been certified!"

"You're allowed to have a phony election?"

"People will never vote for you again!" (to Raffensperger)

The sound of his voice is like poison.

WHY has no one punched this motherfucker in his cavernous pie hole?

The Slobfather is a criminal lunatic who thought he could threaten and bully his way back to power.
I love when he starts screaming at Raffensperger near the end. You'll be respected if you steal this for me. Under a new count I win

Either buy or threaten, bully and intimidate.
Use the courts so your opponent goes broke paying lawyers.
If that doesn't work, there's always the other enforcement arm of capitalism: the mob.

This is what happens when a biznizman takes office.

The present and immediate future is frightening, and 2.5 years after they tried to overthrow the government, we've seen little or no consequences to the perps.

It only took 4 years to defeat the Confederacy on the battlefield, and they didn't manage to get their flag into DC.

phony claims? And then, after threatening Brad Rafensperger that he was in legal trouble, Trump resorted to saying that Brad and the governor were hated in Georgia for not giving the state to Trump. He even implied that they were dumb because he said that Stacey Abrams played him.

Trump switched around from desperate to whiny, threatening, and angry. And none of it worked.

You know why, I bet? Because if someone told him Stacey Abrams said HE'S dumb as rocks, he'd erupt like an apoplectic inferno.
