One thing to keep in mind this week on the upcoming indictments (yes there will be indictments)

Up to twenty different people could be indited In Georgia. This is going to be a huge case & sitting a jury alone could take months. This will be anything but speedy.

I predict this trial will not happen till after the 2024 election. I know people don't want to hear that and if you can show me a path for it to happen sooner, I'm all ears.

Agreed. William769 Aug 2023 #2
If he is still out walking around after the election he really needs to be jailed as a flight risk. captain queeg Aug 2023 #4
He'll probably spend election night watching the returns ToxMarz Aug 2023 #6

Agreed.

And Trump, having failed to win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination and President Biden having won reelection, is a bitter, broken, pathetic old man, just another criminal defendant having become irrelevant and coverage of his trial blended in with other news of the day.

He ought to be now as far as I’m concerned but I suppose he’ll hang around and grift the rubes to build up a nice nest egg.

Our favorite DEFENDANT will just continue to have that title until he gets convicted of at least one of these many serious crimes and then he will be known forever as the CONVICT, which he so richly deserves.

You go Donny, the whole world ( with a brain) is laughing at you, not with you. Unless, of course, if he gets acquitted of all these crimes, then he will be known as the most successful ConMan, liar and a cheat with the title of Teflon Donny.

Sends a strong message that attempted tampering with votes has serious legal repercussions.

I expect to see many settlements without trial. The evidence is very strong including tapes of tfg's phone calls and video of the Coffee County intrusion.

He will kick off whatever campaign is necessary to continue grifting and portraying himself as a martyr and a victim. It is difficult to drown a snake.

that I believe includes the fake electors (there were 16 but 8 were given immunity), there will probably be close to that many, assuming they ensnare someone like Graham and add in the Coffee County machine tamperers.

But am wondering if the top state people will end up among them? Am thinking some GA GOP party officials (those who were fake electors) and obviously the Kraken lawyers.

With all the other trials being scheduled and this one being the last one in, agree that it will be awhile for this one. It's also possible that plea deals might happen with some of the folks (notably the electors who weren't granted immunity) and that would reduce trial time.

seems to me there is some value in taking at least some parts of her case, defendant #1’s part, and adding them to j6.
maybe if tfg isnt the center of the case, it’s easier for fani to convict the rest of them.
let the j6 case go 1st, and if the mango menace is convicted, this case becomes a slam dunk.

amirite?
