If I were Donald Trump listening to the Georgia Fulton County prosecutor’s interview with @maddow, I’d be very, very, very worried.

drop the case, she'll have no choice but tol et it go. It's certainly not what she wants to do, but believe me, we have a whole lot of DT lovers here in this State and I'm afraid it will just get to be too ,much.

She is in Fulton County a heavily Democratic place and they have no jurisdiction.

elected & voter nutballs calling, emailing, threatening, bashing on social media, & anything other wsy they can think of, to force her to pull the case. She's human, and every human has a breaking point. There are a lot of crazy Pubs here, & remember, MT Greene is from here!

I assume they will come up with some reason that Trump cannot be arrested because of security issues.

Then they can just go to jail with him to protect him.
Simple solution.

He wanted a team he could trust and that he knew from when he was VP.

but I doubt he would show up. He would do something silly like say he has absolute immunity because he is still the president because the election was stolen.

Once again he will get off. He never actually said directly to commit fraud. Even asking for that specific number of votes is still not enough. At least 1 juror would say Trump just meant that he thought the votes were rigged against him so just find me that number of votes that were stolen from me.

The bastard always speaks in code and there is never irrefutable evidence.
