Georgia DA Says We Can Expect Indictments By December In Trump Investigation - Ring of Fire

The district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia - Fani Willis - said this past week that she expects to be issuing indictments by December of this year, presumably to avoid the appearance of interfering with the midterm elections. The investigation she's been conducting has centered around Donald Trump, but she did not make it clear whether the indictments would be against him or others involved in the scheme. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well folks this week, the Fulton County DA and the special grand jury that she has convened talking about Fanny Willis, of course they're going quiet for the next month. We will not hear a single thing out of Georgia about the ongoing investigation into Donald Trump's potential election interference. That is what they announced last week, saying, We don't wanna give the appearance at all that we are in any way interfering with the midterms. We're going dark. But before that happened, sources close to the investigation said things are gonna get wild very soon. In fact, they say, we can expect indictments as early as December. So what's going to happen right now is that again, they're going silent. We're not gonna hear anything. It's gonna be totally quiet and then all hell is gonna break loose when they finally release these criminal indictments. Now, it's important to point out, there's no indication about who these indictments are gonna go towards.

Obviously Donald Trump is the central figure in this investigation, but there's no indication right now that the indictments are coming for him. Right? The, the grand jury saw us, they hear from Mark Meadows. They have several other high profile people that have not yet come down to talk to them. So to think that Donald Trump is going to be the guy indicted in December, I think that's wishful thinking. What seems far more likely, however, are the people who went into that Georgia, the Coffee County Elections office, and started copying all that data, right? The people that were called on film doing these things. I think those are going to be, be the indictments that we see coming out in early December that makes the most sense. Obviously, these people were caught on camera. It's very obvious that what they did was illegal. That's low hanging fruit. So those are gonna be the first shoes that are gonna drop here.

But that scandal, by the way, does tie back into Sidney Powell, right? She was kind of the mastermind according to what we know so far of that entire scheme. So the indictments could be coming from Ms. Powell. That would certainly be a fun thing to watch. And we also know that Fannie Willis has taken a particular interest and actually brought on a couple lawyers who are experts in racketeering cases and the racketeering cases, uh, basically, let me just read this here. This from CNN. Willis has said she could pursue RICO racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations charges as part of our investigation. Racketeering charges sometimes used in gang related activity allow prosecutors to bring charges against multiple defendants. Willis could use the law to try to make the case that trumpet his allies were part of a criminal enterprise in their various efforts to pressure state officials, put forth fake electors and otherwise try to influence the election. And that also, of course, would go for those individuals in Coffee County, right? Not just about Trump and the people conspiring to pressure the officials, but also the copying of the data in Coffee County, if you can prove some kind of conspiracy there, you can na a ball, one quick shot, same charges for everybody, take 'em down with the indictments in December. To me, that seems the most likely whether they go RICO or not. But those are probably gonna be the indictments they, uh, they send out in December.
