Former President Donald Trump could face his first charges for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election as early as this month.

On Friday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told the Associated Press that she expects to come to a decision on whether her office will charge the former president by June 30 for allegedly attempting to overthrow the results in Georgia.

This is huge. Finally, perhaps, the beginning of the end of our 7-year nightmare?

1. Fulton County, Georgia, the state's largest county and the home to over one million Georgians.

[Tetrachloride]

2. If the word "Newsweek" is replaced by "Fulton County DA", i would be happier

[brooklynite]

19. Never understood why people get so upset about the source of a story...

If the story is false, you have an argument. Otherwise, news is news.

3. Never happen

[NewsCenter28]

4. Oh, Ms. Willis is definitely indicting Trump

Of that, I have no doubt. The only question is timing, i.e., if she experiences significant delays in her investigation or not. She has integrity and is willing to do what it takes to save her country, unlike certain other spineless coward jellyfishes.

5. Either way, this is going to greatly hurt his political future.

13. not even a little

he would win the repub nomination from statesboro.

6. K sure

I'll believe it when I see Jesus drop down from the sky with tacos for everyone

[JanMichael]

12. Can I put in an order for veggie tacos? Galaxy foods makes a pretty mean TVP taco filling.

And I want Buddy Jesus too. I bet he has weed.

15. +1

Hold the side of beans on mine. The neighbors have been complaining.

[Thtwudbeme]

16. I'll order veggie tacos for you- GA might be the best state for this though-

I think they are the only state sitting on a recorded phone conversation with Trump asking them to "find more votes." If I recall, most of the other states that he was trying to turn had his toadies working for him on location.

Did they wait until the 01/06 hearings started to gather more evidence?

Note that the pillow guy has suddenly shut up also.

7. "Surprised this hasn't been splashed all over DU"

There was a thread yesterday - https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216786125

8. What if DeSantis won't extradite him?

What would happen in that case?

[Aviation Pro]

9. Believe Bloated Tick is holed up in NJ

As long as the obese parasite remains there when the indictment is handed down, he will be extradited. If he beats a cowardly retreat to FL, it will be more difficult.

10. Did they say which June ?

[MissMillie]

11. from Tribe's lips to God's ear...

"It wouldn't surprise me for Georgia to become the first jurisdiction to indict a former president on felony charges. I doubt it'll be the last. And I think the charges will stick," Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus of constitutional law at Harvard University, tweeted last month.

*********************************************

I think TFG knows that he's got a bunch of people that will believe him despite his record of lies, and he thinks that gives him license to break the law. He figures if someone tries to hold him accountable, he can always call it a "witch hunt" and the faithful will line up behind him.

14. We have to hope someone will

Since Garland and now the Manhattan DA aren't going to.

[malaise]

17. The slobfather sent people to kill anyone in his way

Throw him in a dungeon

[brer cat]

18. I would love for a black female DA to the the first to bring charges.

It would burn for a long time.

[Walleye]

20. If she doesn't indict, she'd better prepare to deal with the same shit next election.

[Hortensis]

21. Just to note, Newsweek has been reborn as a tabloid. The old journalists all left.

RIP to the once-great name. If only.
