February 16, 20241 yr 5 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: Three Georgia Republicans who falsely claimed to be electors for Donald Trump — and are now charged alongside him in a sprawling racketeering indictment brought by local prosecutors — say they took the steps they did because Trump, then the sitting president, told them to. In a series of court filings this week, those false electors, who became part of Trump’s last-ditch bid to subvert the 2020 election, said it was Trump and his campaign lawyers who urged them to sign the false documents, claiming they were necessary to preserve Trump’s flailing court efforts to reverse his defeat to Joe Biden. That exhortation from Trump’s campaign lawyers, they said, amounted to federal government permission to take the actions they did. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/24/co-defendant-georgia-trump-indictment-00112932 Oh great, 'the devil made me do it' defense.

And he cited a bunch of insane bullsheet that didn't ever happen to prove it. Does that change things?

They're all gonna testify against him (McDaniel might too now that she's been canned), and the jury will have to decide for themselves if Trump is merely a victim of the most carefully planned and well-coordinated conspiracy against a politician in the history of the world, or if he's the one who's lying.

A jury? Sounds like some invention of the liberal left. Fortunately the good state Republicans of Georgia will save Trump from something as corrupt as being judged by a jury in a court of law. I hear courts are so biased they bounced him 60+ times before he even had a chance to incite an insurrection at the Capitol.

Any jury that finds Trump guilty of a crime must clearly be in the pocket of George Soros.

February 19, 20241 yr Why Fani Willis Is Not Disqualified Under Georgia Law The key point is that regardless of whether the factual circumstances involving Willis and Wade give rise to separate ethical concerns with respect to his hiring, such questions do not affect the propriety of the prosecution against Roman and his co-defendants. Questions about gifts and related matters go to Willis’s and Wade’s obligations to the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, and have no connection to assuring the defendants a fair trial. These allegations are as irrelevant to the trial as allegations in other situations that prosecutors took office supplies for personal use, drove county vehicles for personal errands, or plagiarized portions of their student law review notes. All of those are legitimate issues—for prosecutors’ offices and those with oversight responsibilities to address—but such allegations do not bring criminal prosecutions to a stop or require that cases be transferred to a different office. Defense attorneys cannot use allegations of prosecutorial ethics violations, real or imaginary, that have nothing to do with a trial to delay or force prosecutors off of a case.

I think there's less of a chance of swimming with the fishes under Trump though. If we're talking about the Clinton's that is a different story.
