Trump Indicted by Georgia Grand Jury
It's been quite a day in Atlanta (and for scrambling Democrats) as former President Trump was indicted for the 4th time.
The events (detailed below) are summarized here in chronological order:
Before the Grand Jury's verdict, Reuters reported that a document was leaked earlier in the day on the Fulton County, Georgia court's website showing former president Trump being indicted on RICO charges (among many others).
The Georgia DA released a statement calling the document "fictitious".
Trump's team (and the entire internet) mocked this farcical comment: "This was not a simple administrative mistake."
The Grand Jury then handed down a 98-page indictment, against the former president (the jurors' names were unredacted)...
...claiming that he - and 18 of his allies - orchestrated a sweeping criminal enterprise, committing more than a dozen felonies, as he tried and failed to overturn his defeat in Georgia’s 2020 election.
Defendants include Rudy Giuliani, Mark Leadows, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman.
The charging documents also list 30 unindicted co-conspirators.
Trump faces 13 counts in the indictment. Here is the full list:
One count in violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
Three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer
One count of conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer
Two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree
Two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings
One count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents
One count of filing a false document
Two counts of false statements and writings
All of these charges were exactly as per the leaked "fictitious" document that was found on the courthouse website hours before the Grand Jury's decision.
The Trump team issued a statement blasting the Georgia DA as a "rabid partisan", adding that "all of these corrupt Democrat attempts will fail."
Statement from the Trump Campaign
Like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Deranged Jack Smith, and New York AG Letitia James, Fulton County, GA's radical Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis is a rabid partisan who is campaigning and fundraising on a platform of prosecuting President Trump through these bogus indictments. Ripping a page from Crooked Joe Biden's playbook, Willis has strategically stalled her investigation to try and maximally interfere with the 2024 presidential race and damage the dominant Trump campaign. All of these corrupt Democrat attempts will fail.
Combined with the intentionally slow-walked investigations by the Biden-Smith goon squads and the false charges in New York, the timing of this latest coordinated strike by a biased prosecutor in an overwhelmingly Democrat jurisdiction not only betrays the trust of the American people, but also exposes true motivation driving their fabricated accusations.
They could have brought this two and half years ago, yet they chose to do this for election interference reasons in the middle of President Trump's successful campaign. He is not only leading all Republicans by a lot but he is leading against Joe Biden in almost every poll. President Trump represents the greatest threat to these Democrats' political futures (and the greatest hope for America).
The legal double-standard set against President Trump must end. Under the Crooked Biden Cartel, there are no rules for Democrats, while Republicans face criminal charges for exercising their First Amendment rights.
These activities by Democrat leaders constitute a grave threat to American democracy and are direct attempts to deprive the American people of their rightful choice to cast their vote for President. Call it election interference or election manipulation—it is a dangerous effort by the ruling class to suppress the choice of the people. It is un-American and wrong.
They are taking away President Trump's First Amendment right to free speech, and the right to challenge a rigged and stolen election that the Democrats do all the time. The ones who should be prosecuted are the ones who created the corruption.
President Trump will never give up and will never stop fighting for you, as we all work to Make America Great Again in 2024.

Never forget - President Trump was leading Biden by 160,000+ votes on election night
Then a “water pipe burst” forcing GOP poll watchers out of the Atlanta counting center while Democrat criminals pulled out suitcases of ballots & ran them through the machines for hours… pic.twitter.com/f3PUuEiU1f

Another day, another indictment.
No amount of indictments will explain how 80%+ of bellwether counties voted for Trump yet Biden won (something that has never happened before).

Update (1830ET): Attorneys for Donald Trump on Monday criticized the Georgia Fulton County District Attorney’s Office over a report that a document listing criminal charges against the former president was briefly posted earlier in the day, then abruptly taken down.
“The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has once again shown that they have no respect for the integrity of the grand jury process,” attorneys Drew Findling and Jennifer Little said in a statement issued by the Trump campaign.
“This was not a simple administrative mistake,” the attorneys added.
“A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk’s office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. This is emblematic of the pervasive and glaring constitutional violations which have plagued this case from its very inception.”

Update (1820ET): Fulton County's Office of the Court Clerk has issued a statement claiming that the RICO docket against former President Trump which was posted to their portal and subsequently deleted - and which was tweeted and reported on first by Reuters (along with a link to the Court's portal), was "fictitious."
