Indictments Imminent As Georgia Finishes Investigation Into Trump - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

The special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia is officially done, and it will now be up to District Attorney Fani Willis about whether or not indictments will be issued. It is clear that there will almost certainly be SOME individuals getting indicted - Willis has teased that much for several months - the question is whether Trump will be on the receiving end. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Yesterday, the special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, was officially disbanded. Their work has concluded that special grand jury, thank you for your service. You are on your way home. You're done before being disbanded. However, the grand jury did vote overwhelmingly to release the materials that they had collected during the course of their investigation. There will be a hearing on January 24th about whether or not to release any of their findings to the public. Now, hopefully those do get released. I, I think everybody needs to know what took place there in the state of Georgia, but that's kind of secondary right now. The big question now is, is Fulton County da, Fannie Willis going to indict anyone?

Couple weeks ago I would've said, oh, hell yes, she is. And even today, I think, yes, there will be some indictments that come from this special grand jury. But here's the thing. Willis' office went dark, as they say in the weeks, the six weeks prior to the November 22 midterms. But right before they went dark, it was hinted at by her office that we could expect indictments in early December. That was like the last piece of info they gave us early December is when we plan to start issuing indictments. Well, I don't know if you've looked at a calendar recently, but we're now in almost mid-January and we still didn't get any indictments. That is troubling that, that is very troubling, right? When you tease that something was gonna come out six weeks ago, six weeks now pass and, and we don't have them. I'm not exactly as optimistic as I would like to be based on what we've seen from this special grand jury so far.

I had high hopes for them. Uh, I I no longer have such high hopes, but here's the thing. Indictments will come, but I don't know that we're gonna get him against Donald Trump. We know, of course we do have that one election worker on video, uh, Sidney Powell's, people allegedly Sidney Powell's people, uh, that she had paid for, went down to that Coffee County office, went in, copied all the date off the voting machines. The election worker was just standing there the whole time after she had said she wasn't even there when it happened. So likely perjury on her part, also illegally accessing the voting machines, giving people access. I I think that individual is probably going to be indicted. There's video evidence of it. So there's one indictment, but beyond that, who, maybe Sidney Powell, if you have the proof that she is the one that hired the people to go into that Coffee County office and do that. Maybe beyond that, I don't know. I would love to see

Donald Trump indicted for this, for his in, uh, interference, excuse me, in the Georgia election. And I, and I think based on what we know, it's pretty obvious that happened. But does it rise to the level of a crime that is what Fannie Willis was supposed to determine during that grand jury's tenure? Maybe she's made that determination. Maybe she's still mulling it. We don't know because no indictments have come down yet, and we may not even get anything, any news outta the office until after that January 24th hearing when they decide what to release, if they release anything at all. So there's a lot of question marks on here, but as I pointed out, they had told us we were getting indictments in December and those never materialized, which isn't a good sign for this investigation.

1. GA's "Special Grand Jury" does not issue indictments

They can issue a report and can refer to a regular grand jury to do that.

Georgia special grand jury investigating 2020 election finishes its work

January 9, 2023 / 10:58 AM / CBS/AP

The special grand grand jury in Atlanta that has been investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies committed any crimes while trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia has finished its work.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who was overseeing the panel, issued an order Monday dissolving the special grand jury. The order says the grand jurors completed a final report and that a majority of the county's superior court judges voted to dissolve the special grand jury.

"The Court thanks the grand jurors for their dedication, professionalism, and significant commitment of time and attention to this important matter," the order said. "It was no small sacrifice to serve."The end of the special grand jury moves the investigation one step closer to possible criminal charges against Trump and others.

Special grand juries in Georgia cannot issue indictments but instead can issue a final report recommending actions to be taken. It is then up to the district attorney to decide whether to seek an indictment from a regular grand jury.

Am not sure why those guys on ROF haven't researched this. I do know too that a number of top tier people resisted (in court) testifying, and that pushed the date back for completion (e.g., the bullshit excuses from Ghouliani and Graham), but ultimately the courts decided in Willis' favor and they did testify. Am glad to see that they are done and have what they have.
