These news reports seem to be saying that Fani Willis is just starting to present evidence to the grand jury today.

Can that be right? What's she been doing all this time? (I know, investigating.)

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY THAT I DID NOT TAMPER WITH THE ELECTION. THE PEOPLE THAT TAMPERED WITH IT WERE THE ONES THAT RIGGED IT, AND SADLY, PHONEY FANI WILLIS, WHO HAS SHOCKINGLY ALLOWED ATLANTA TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, HAS NO INTEREST IN SEEING THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE AVAILABLE, OR FINDING OUT WHO THESE PEOPLE THAT COMMITTED THIS CRIME ARE. SHE ONLY WANTS TO “GET TRUMP.” I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHOW THIS INFO TO THE G.J.

He seems nervous.

U scared, bro?

She's following Jack Smith's lead. Patience here works. We are not getting anything from her. All the news media can do is speculate.

How Donald Trump tried to undo his loss in Georgia in 2020
By Amy Gardner, Kati Perry and Adriana Usero
Aug. 14 at 6:00 a.m.

Two days after Election Day in 2020, President Donald Trump’s eldest son traveled to the Georgia Republican Party headquarters in Atlanta to deliver a message.

The presidential race was still too close to call in the state and in the country. Georgia Republicans were scrambling to prepare for two runoff elections that would determine control of the U.S. Senate. But Donald Trump Jr. urged them to focus on another task: helping his father win the state by proving that widespread fraud had tainted the results.

If you do not support my dad 100 percent, we have a problem, Donald Trump Jr. told the group, a Trump campaign staffer familiar with the meeting testified to the House committee that investigated the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The state party chairman, David Shafer, emerged looking “like he had seen a ghost,” the staffer said.

The message was received. That evening, Republican leaders in Georgia held a rally-style news conference in support of Trump.

Most of this we know, but knew to me was the link to the Coffee GA caper:

The hunt for fraud

At Trump’s insistence, his allies launched a mad chase of every accusation of fraud they could find, big or small. Some of the more fantastical claims came directly from Trump and his allies, who amplified baseless accusations on conservative media and unleashed new waves of outlandish tips from rank-and-file Republicans.

They spread false claims that thousands of mail ballots should be discarded because of questionable signatures, that a mother-daughter team of election workers in Atlanta had triple-tallied counterfeit votes, that voting machines had been programmed to flip votes from one candidate to another.

One claim came from a local election official in rural Coffee County, Ga., named Misty Hampton, who said on Nov. 10, 2020, in a public meeting of her local elections board that machines made by Dominion Voting Systems could flip votes from one candidate to the next.

Sinners, under orders to look under every stone for possible fraud, got wind of Hampton’s remarks and emailed her the same day seeking more information. Although he would quickly determine that her claim and many others like it were bogus, that didn’t stop Trump allies from pursuing it, even arranging, with Hampton’s help, to examine the equipment in Coffee County — a violation of state law.

Heya ORLY ... it's looking like RICO

U.S. state of Georgia appears set to file charges against Donald Trump -court document
Reuters
Mon, Aug 14, 2023, 12:44 PM EDT

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-state- ... 21271.html

WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. state of Georgia appears set to charge Donald Trump with a variety of charges, including racketeering, conspiracy and false statements, according to a two-page docket report posted to the Fulton County court's website.

The Fulton County clerk's office could not immediately be reached for comment on the docket report, which is no longer available on the court's website.

[realist]

Even with the lower standards I'm concerned that RICO may be overreaching and overcharging, but in case it has not been posted, here's an overview of the GA RICO law. If it has been, my apologies.

"Unlike federal RICO law, under Georgia law prosecutors don’t have to prove an underlying “criminal enterprise.” They only have to prove that the defendants committed some illegal acts in pursuit of a single criminal goal. I’ll explain the difference in detail in a bit. For now, just understand that Georgia RICO is easier than federal."

Donald loves musicals, so from CHICAGO: "The name on everybody's lips is gonna be.. REEKO!"






Does T**** have Dr Orly Taitz Esq., America's Foremost Authority on REEKO, on retainer to help them? This could be the beginning of the new law firm Taitz, Dershowitz & Turley. (Taitz refused to do it without top billing.)

Not sure what you mean by "original source" in this case. The Reuters article is based on original reporting by Timothy Ahmann, a Reuters journalist. It cites the provenance of the document (posted to the docket on the Fulton County website, with a working link in the pdf), but notes it was removed. Unless the DA changes their mind and explains what it is and why it got posted, there's very little else we can learn officially about it.

My own thoughts are that it is the summary of what charges the DA is seeking to have the grand jury affirm this week (or whatever the proper wording for that is). It is entirely possible that the indictment will drop some of this charges.

Journalist George Chidi says he was asked to appear in court Monday
By Mariana Alfaro

Atlanta independent journalist George Chidi, who was subpoenaed to testify at the Fulton County Courthouse this week by prosecutor Fani T. Willis, said he’s going to court Monday.

“Change of plans,” Chidi posted at 1:51 p.m. Eastern time. “I’m going to court today. They’re moving faster than they thought.”

On Saturday, Chidi said on Twitter, now known as X, that he had been given notice to appear as a witness before the grand jury Tuesday.

Chidi’s post signals that Willis and her team of investigators may be closer to unveiling an indictment in the investigation of former president Donald Trump and his allies’ effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.

Don't know what to make of that errant purported docket entry. MAGAts are going wild about it, but they also go wild every election when invariably some media outlet accidently posts test data for election night coverage. Is that they're speeding up? Who knows. But I'm with Git... If it happens Tues or Wed it will blow Mike Lindell's Lindell Event off the map and that would be so, so tragic.

Hey Donald -- Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!

That, I would have no problem believing.

He seems skeered.

I just hope Republicans, and the people of our now failing Nation, see what is happening to our Democracy and Freedom. A sitting President has INDICTED, in many different forms and locals, his political opponent, who is substantially leading him in the Polls. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. OUR COUNTRY CAN NEVER LET THIS STAND!

Fulton county posted it briefly online, and quickly took it down. I think it was Reuters who grabbed it?

Realist, sounds like this qualifies:

In case of emergency, call 949-683-5411.

Give Dr. Taitz a call, she'd be happy to explain and answer any questions you have. Tell her Foggy sent you.
