At least eight Trump electors have accepted immunity in Georgia investigation

At least eight of the 16 Georgia Republicans who convened in December 2020 to declare Donald Trump the winner of the presidential contest despite his loss in the state have accepted immunity deals from Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating alleged election interference, according to a lawyer for the electors.

Prosecutors with the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) told the eight that they will not be charged with crimes if they testify truthfully in her sprawling investigation into efforts by Trump, his campaign and his allies to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia, according to a brief filed Friday in Fulton County Superior Court by defense attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow.

Willis has said that the meeting of Trump’s electors on Dec. 14, 2020, despite Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s certification of Biden’s win, is a key target of her investigation, along with Trump’s phone calls to multiple state officials and his campaign’s potential involvement in an unauthorized breach of election equipment in rural Coffee County, Ga.

Georgia was among seven states where the Trump campaign and local GOP officials arranged for alternate electors to convene with the stated purpose of preserving legal recourse while election challenges made their way through the courts. Among the questions both Willis and federal investigators have explored is whether the appointment of alternate electors and the creation of elector certificates broke the law. Another question is whether Trump campaign officials and allies initiated the strategy as part of a larger effort to overturn Biden’s overall victory during the counting of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021.

1. Half of the 16 fake electors...that's impressive, imho.

Wonder how long the 8 hold outs have before they either make a deal with DA Willis or get the book thrown at them.

[maddogesq]

3. Immunity is like bird seed.

Give this flock enough and you betcha these crooks will sing, sing, sing.

This is HUGE!!!

[2naSalit]

4. When enough info...

Has come out of the ones already flipping, the rest will be SOL. Holdouts usually lose out because immunity deals have a very short shelf life, waiting can be a losing choice.

[erronis]

7. Classic prisoner's dilemma

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

I hate these types of choices - I'll always chose the wrong one. Like which check-out aisle in the grocery store.....

[2naSalit]

14. I do too.

And I think I can probably claim a 50% success rate, not quite good enough for me most of the time but when choices must be made...

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

41. Always use the checkouts closest to the ends

Or the one furthest from the exit.

They're invariably less crowded and faster.

If you really want to save time, shop in the morning, before 10 am, during the week, if possible. Lines will be just about non-existent.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Well allegedly someone among that group of 8

claimed one of the other fakes "committed crimes".

I know here in PA, there was a slate of fake electors who gathered but what happened was that in the fake docs that they sent in for tabulation, they included caveat language enough to keep our own (D) AG at the time (now Governor Josh Shapiro) from moving forward with prosecuting them. However other stuff that went on here was similar to AZ where a small county here in PA gave access to a 3rd party, of a Dominion Voting Systems machine (in a deep red county of all places), and then went on after being told "STOP", and their machines would not be decertified, brought in a 2nd nefarious "auditor". And just before they were about to bring in a 3rd "auditor", the state court brought the gavel down on them, and they just got sanctioned last month for that.

15. I can't read the article but does it say whether these 8 have new legal representation?

All of them had the same lawyer before, which I would say now has a big conflict. Do the 8 have the same lawyer or each have separate representation.

[Bev54]

16. Ooops I can read it, I thought the pull up said I couldn't but it said I had one free article.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. I put up a "no paywall" gifted link in the comments part of the OP

so that should work!

[Bev54]

18. TY

[BumRushDaShow]

21. YW

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. The other 8 may be out of luck

Unless they have evidence the others don’t.

[oldsoftie]

11. I wonder WHICH 8 took immunity? Soon to be labeled "RINO"s. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Exactly!

[peppertree]

2. "I hate flippahs!"

[erronis]

8. I think he hates everybody nowadays. Including his darling Ivanka.

His face could stand a few "tucks" - lots of sagging bags. Enough tucks and it would just be a picture of a sphincter on top of a neck.

[peppertree]

9. Sad, but true.

The man is alike a walking collection of every human foible, rolled up into one person.

Which is why, deep down, Republicans are so fond of him I suspect.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Well said!

[peppertree]

22. Thank you, Rihannon.

It is what it is.

[Rhiannon12866]

23. I still have no comprehension what the attraction is to this offensive blowhard

I couldn't wait until the 2016 election was over so we'd never have to see or hear from him again! *sigh*

[peppertree]

25. I can only guess - but I suppose part of it is aspirational

"Trump does what I wish I could do - and he does it in total excess, with gusto and no shame at all!"

As long as we have millions of people like that, there'll always be someone there ready to fill the role - or try.

But with apologies to Carly Simon, nobody does it better.

Makes me feel sad for the rest...

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Thanks! And I have no idea why anyone would vote for this aspiring Lord of the Realm either.

[Qutzupalotl]

43. Look at him. He even stands like an asshole.

Like if a doorstop became sentient and also somehow lacking self-awareness.

[peppertree]

44. That sounds like deSaster alright

If Joe Pesci's character in Casino and a Smurf could have a kid, we now know what it would look like.

[Captain Zero]

40. He's not going away until he fucking dies.

But that doesn't mean he has to be president again.
It could mean he goes to jail though if I may offer an option.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Sadly,,,,,,

the ‘bags’ are full of money that the rubes continually keep funding.
They ALL deserve to fail - BIGLY!!!!!

[3auld6phart]

27. Ugly indeed

That orange shit he powders his ugly face with has gone right into the skin pores, eh?
That throat wattle is indeed beyond description.

[peppertree]

47. And that photo's 5 years old.

He's been putting on weight again.

[erronis]

28. I forgot to add this one: "Is that your face, or did your neck throw up?"

I know, juvenile, but still...

[peppertree]

30. And that photo's 5 years old.

He has, as Orwell might put it, the face he deserves.

Cocaine, alcohol, and a garbage diet will take its toll.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

42. He's hideous to look at

Despite the coke, booze and garbage diet.

It's the ugly person inside that's made him such an eyesore. You can tell by looking at him that he's always been boiling with rage that he's not universally adored and sucked up to.

Remember when you parents said if you kept looking a certain way, your face would freeze into that look? Well, the evidence of it is all over that grotesque visage of his.

[HillbillyDaoist]

38. Rosenberg that traitor.

[appleannie1]

45. He looks like a spoiled brat that did not get his way.

[peppertree]

46. In other words, like what he is

And I think it says a lot about his voters - that they would see themselves reflected in such a man.

[ffr]

10. The other eight can't read, so that explains both sides of it from their standpoint.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. ...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Sucks to be you Donny boy

[BOSSHOG]

29. Is this anyway for Patriots to act?

To be a traitor to your cause and your leader. Gosh, loyalty is pretty shallow in the maga pond.

[DemocraticPatriot]

33. You forgot to use the "snark" and/or "sarcasm" tag...

[BOSSHOG]

34. I get caught every time

One of these decades I’ll figure it out.

[DemocraticPatriot]

35. I just didn't want our compatriots to think that you meant the word "patriot"

seriously, in this instance....

[BOSSHOG]

36. Thank You, and you are right

[ck4829]

50. Right?

[Lasher]

31. The wheels of justice turn slowly,

but grind exceedingly fine.

[DemocraticPatriot]

32. So they now realize they were wrong, and CRIMINALLY LIABLE....

MAGAts on their knees before justice is a delightful sight!

[MayReasonRule]

37. I Love The Smell Of RICO In The Mornings!!!

[ShazzieB]

39. Now I'm even more excited about the Georgia indictment!

This is getting really, really interesting!

[sarcoux]

48. Let them sing

Good.
