Fani Willis puts violence front and center

Right up front, the indictment handed down Monday by a grand jury in Atlanta alleges:

Members of the enterprise, including several of the Defendants, falsely accused Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman of committing election crimes in Fulton County, Georgia. These false accusations were repeated to Georgia legislators and other Georgia officials in an effort to persuade them to unlawfully change the outcome of the November 3, 2020, presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. In furtherance of this scheme, members of the enterprise traveled from out of state to harass Freeman, intimidate her, and solicit her to falsely confess to election crimes that she did not commit.


The indictment describes defendants traveling to election worker Ruby Freeman’s home to mislead and intimidate her.

I appreciate that these 2 falsely accused people did not crumble from the attacks and threats of death.

But for the life of me, why didn't the Koch Bros just pay off a couple of people to take the fall and claim they did rig the election for Biden? Why not just pay them instead of threatening and abusing them?

Stupid fascist always use violence and abuse when money works so much better in a capitalist economy. They are too stupid to have so much control.

The more I admire Ruby Freeman and her daughter. It took such a tremendous amount of courage for them to stand strong!

I really think some lawyer should do a pro-bono for them to file a defamation case against TFG and all his cronies who repeated his lies, if it hasn't already been done. The damage done to their lives is incalculable.

They should win bug, if justice prevails. Which, of course, is not guaranteed, sadly.

It is beyond appalling what was done to them.

Their attacks on and harassment of this woman (and her daughter) was the bottom of the bottom of the pit.
