Former President Donald Trump and a long list of alleged co-conspirators were indicted late on Monday night on felony racketeering charges by a grand jury in Atlanta over Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.

In a 98-page document naming 19 different defendants (as well as roughly 30 unindicted co-conspirators, along with "others not named&quot , Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis outlined a large-scale alleged conspiracy to keep Trump in power through corrupt tactics following the 2020 presidential election. In addition to Trump, the indictment names well-known Trump confidants and advisers — including Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell — as well as several Georgia Republican officials allegedly involved in either the "fake elector" scheme or in breaching the voting systems in rural Coffee County...

According to The Guardian, Willis' investigation also included a phone call from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., in which Graham asked Raffensperger if he had the power to throw out absentee ballots in the state. Willis also investigated Trump allies' efforts to remove BJ Pak, a former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, after he rebuffed Trump's efforts to overturn the election.


Update: I've fixed the link & copied some text, in particular the Lindsey Graham mention. I'm speculating he is one of the unindicted coconspirators.

6. Only to Salon's front page

So soon people won't know what you were talking about (indeed, that's already the case - no use of "Kraken" there). Wouldn't the article be more useful, all round?

8. I tend to agree with you on Lindsey Graham. He is a glaring missing figure, so that makes sense

Jenna Elis included in the indictments FINALLY gives some possibility of justice to her and snarky corrupt arrogance. She faced the loss of her law license but was only censored in Colorado--sigh...
