Are they going after TFG for conspiracy? Georgia D.A. is now working with the House 1/6/21 Committee

[Botany]

The Georgia district attorney running the inquiry is now also sharing information with the House committee investigating
the 6 January attack on the Capitol in Washington DC.

And the Georgia Sec. of State has Trump on tape asking for 11,780 votes, asking for the Sec. of State to just say
something like, "there is doubt about the election," and most damning they have Trump telling Georgia's Sec. of
State's lawyer, on tape, "that something big is going to be happening on January 6th."

Just saying.

Or am I

Thanx to DUer Mama goes logging for posting the piece below 1st.

Criminal inquiry into Trump's Georgia election interference gathers steam
Donald Trump is facing increasing legal scrutiny in the crucial battleground state of Georgia over his attempt to sway the 2020 election there, and that heat is now overlapping with investigations in Congress looking at the former president’s efforts to subvert American democracy.

A criminal investigation into Trump’s 2 January call prodding Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “just find” him 11,780 votes to block Joe Biden’s win in the state is making headway. The Georgia district attorney running the inquiry is now also sharing information with the House committee investigating the 6 January attack on the Capitol in Washington DC.

Meanwhile, a justice department task force investigating threats to election officials nationwide has launched inquiries in Georgia, where election officers and workers received death threats or warnings of violence, including some after Trump singled out one official publicly for not backing his baseless fraud claims.

Despite these investigations, Trump is still pushing bogus fraud claims in Georgia. Trump wrote to Raffensperger in September asking him to decertify the election results, which is impossible, and with an eye on the 2022 elections is trying to oust Raffensperger, as well as the state’s governor, Brian Kemp, and other top Republicans who defied his demands to block Biden’s win.

1. K&R...

2. While it sure sounds incriminating to us...

...I think it would be difficult to get a conviction on "something big is going to be happening on January 6th," because the prosecution would be unable to prove that TFG meant anything more sinister than "Congress will realize that the election was fraudulent, and refuse to certify the results."

8. I with great respect disagree

TFG helped to pay for the riot/coup
TFG publicly invited the rioters to come and do damage. He gave out the day, the date, the time, and the place for the violence.
TFG's chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney's niece filled out the paperwork for the pre-riot pep rally
TFG installed a new person as head of the DoD after the election in Christopher Miller who gave stand down orders to
the DC National Guard.
The DC police, the Capitol Hill Police, and the US Dept. of Interior's police were all hamstrung in responding to
the threat and in engaging the rioters.
TFG when told by Mike Pence and Rep. McCarthy of the violence refused to help or call the people off.

Too many things for this to be random chance.

12. Georgia can only convict him for breaking Georgia laws.

The insurrection didn't happen in Georgia. I'm sure there are many criminal counts he can be convicted of, connected with thinsurrection, under DC law or Federal law or both. GEorgia will get him on breaking election law.

But there's no reason someone in Georgia can't testify about that remark in a DC court or a Federal court, in person or by depositon or documents.

15. I never said that the any conspiracy charges would or should be brought up in Georgia.

However with his actions in Georgia and then with his actions in precipitating the riot/attempted coup
in D.C. on 1/6/21 the DoJ MIGHT HAVE a conspiracy case against TFG if they want to pursue it.

[lagomorph777]

17. Yes, evidence/testimony from GA can be useful in a Federal case.

If there is a Federal case. So far, it doesn't look like DOJ is terribly concerned about it. They're being chastised by judges for being excessively lenient to the insurrectionists.

3. I'm good with any harsh outcome. A traitor to the USA is a traitor to the USA.

The sooner his web of treasonweasels are exposed, the better for our country.

No healing without consequences for the traitors!

[dchill]

4. There's every reason they should...

...and no reason they shouldn't. It's obvious. Prima facie.

5. Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis

— so maybe, we’ll see.

[monkeyman1]

6. and the plot thick'ns !! the fur is starting to get ruffled & " MAN OVERBOARD" !

[Pepsidog]

7. Not to be a downer but for two years we hoped and prayed that Mueller would save us. Ain't doing

again with SDNY and Ga.

[C Moon]

9. That was depressing.

[calimary]

11. And don't forget back when we were all looking forward to "Fitzmas."

That didn’t end very satisfactorily either.

But when I start getting depressed about yet another bad guy slithering away without any accountability, I remind myself that nothing lasts forever including lucky breaks, and they did finally get Al Capone.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Between the two, I lost a lot of faith in justice. Oh and the torture report form Iraq that was

deep sixed. And the '08 meltdown with no jail time. And Guantanimo still open. And.. Aghhh

[calimary]

16. Yeah. No kidding.

The over-arching message is: “you CAN get away with it.”

There are ways to get away with it.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. that's for sure. All the Senators that were "visibly shaken" after the torture report just made

sure it never saw the light of day. Not sure if any copies remain. "We're No.1" Where's my foam finger??

[Ford_Prefect]

10. Koch money behind it if they look far enough...

[thenelm1]

13. Thing is, if he was ever to be brought up on charges in Georgia, what are the chances...

that a jury would ever actually convict him? It is Georgia after all. It only takes is one trumper on the jury to blow the whole thing up and nullify the proceedings, at which time you know the pity party whining about the persecution by the Dems of poor little Donnie would go into overdrive - primarily led by you know who. Grudgingly giving the devil his due, he does seem to have a knack of turning something like this to his advantage. Gawd knows how and Gawd forbid.

(And I wouldn't for second put trying to tamper with jury past this hump. It's how he rolls.)

18. Didn't Chump already throw Kemp under a bus?

Sometime this Spring or early summer, Chump got his panties into a twist because Kemp refused to say the election had been stolen. Or maybe he said it, but he didn't sound angry enough.

Whatever the reason, Chump started sending out nastygrams about Kemp and Georgia. He can't send actual tweets or FB posts any more, so that's all he has left. It sounds like Chump is ready to toss the entire state out, whenever he starts his new Confederacy.

Maybe that's where this thing is coming from?

20. Fani Willis has a very full plate prosecuting local crimes.

She just barely made the deadline to arraign 66 some murder suspects with charges.

She says it’s a backlog from the prior country prosecutor, but i would imagine her staff would be pretty upset when they’re working 60 hours per week and some group of prosecutors is not working on clearing the backlog.

I wouldn’t put a lot of faith into her teams contribution to any Trump charges.
