Special Counsel Jack Smith has petitioned the Supreme Court to decide if former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution related to charges from his term in office, as detailed in indictments from January 6. Trump’s lawyers argue he was fulfilling official duties and is thus immune. Smith has requested an expedited review, which if approved, could allow a trial to proceed in March 2024. It’s the first instance of a president being charged with crimes during his term.
Tuesday, Oct. 24/25, two days in the life of the GOP in three cities, featuring Meadows, Cohen, Trump, Ellis, & Johnson take your pick. They selected an election denier and perpetrator of election fraud as the speaker. That’s the GOP of today.
None of these trials or indictments are witch hunts. It’s really a matter of which investigation you want to examine and the charges leveled at Trump. Trump faces legal battles in civil fraud cases, sexual assault allegations, of which he’s been found liable, classified document accusations, and election interference allegations.
In this post, I’ve reviewed each of the current cases.
I focus on Fani Willis: The Fearless District Attorney Taking on the Election Interference Case against Trump in this post.
Donald Trump and 18 others have been accused of knowingly and willfully joining a racketeering enterprise to unlawfully change the outcome of the election (in Georgia) in favor of Trump. According to the Fulton County indictment, the enterprise contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and other states.
Donald Trump, another strongman, made an imperfect phone call to the Georgia Secretary of State. This phone call could be essential evidence of crimes against Trump. Jack Smith criminally charged him in his 45-page indictment.
Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis uses the phone call in her criminal investigation of election interference. Georgia Republican elites, Trump’s attorneys and advisors, and others may be indicted.
