Rachel Maddow shares new reporting from the Washington Post that, like the fake elector scheme that appeared at first to be separate matters until a central role by the Trump campaign was exposed, the scheme to seize and corrupt voting machines in several states now appears to have had central coordination from the Trump camp. - Aired on 08/15/2022.

(7,017 posts)1. Why can't Trump and his gang who can't shoot straight
be arrested and charged for extortion in the plea to Ga. SOS to find votes. Then go one by one and as evidence is gathered charge them for the seeming hundreds of other crimes they have perpetrated over the years. Lot of work for new law school graduates. These folks need to start paying for crimes now.

Trump attorney Sidney Powell helped coordinate the effort, and she was billed over $26,000 by computer experts from Atlanta tech company SullivanStrickler, the records show.
The GBI confirmed Tuesday that it has opened a criminal investigation of the incident on Jan. 7, 2021, when the group flew from Atlanta to South Georgia and were given access by local election officials to equipment that was supposed to be kept secure from outsiders. Computer theft is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
The same team that was part of the voter data breach in Michigan and Nevada stole voter data in Coffee County, Georgia. The team was supervised by the Trump campaign, as Sidney Powell coordinated the effort to steal voter data as they were trying to prove voter and election fraud that would have provided Donald Trump with a pretext to carry out his coup and stay in power.
Trump is already looking at the possibility of being indicted in Georgia for election meddling. The theft of the voter data, and the nation should be honest by calling it theft, is a separate investigation.
It is possible that Trump could also be charged for stealing election data, although Sidney Powell is likely to be looking at criminal charges if the investigation uncovers wrongdoing.
