I won’t comment on why these traitors were not indicted. Just want to make sure everyone knows the names of these fucking traitors.

The nine-page report showed jurors recommended charges against 39 number of people, compared to the 18 who were charged along with former President Donald Trump. The names of those not indicted included Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of Georgia, former U.S. Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue of Georgia and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Lindsay Graham is from South Carolina, don’t blame us Georgians for him, we have two Dem senators at the moment.

Yeah, I copied that text straight from the article. But you are correct.

What is it with shitty editors in the news nowadays

Yes, I’ve noticed the quality of articles throughout many publications to have dropped. I dunno, COVID maybe took some senior editors out?

Perhaps it's a not indicted yet situation. Once circus at a time?

I think Lindsey has flipped, and several of the others, too.

These prosecutors aren’t fucking around, and these are serious charges. How many people are actually willing to go to prison for trump, who very obviously cares only about himself and will throw even his own family under the bus?

Lindsey famously said if the GOP backed trump, it would be their downfall. He’s not a loyalist, and he’s a proven coward – the exact type of person who would flip on trump.

I agree that it's likely Lindsey Graham may have flipped. I've long suspected Lindsey only fell in line with Trump because he's got dirt on him. The sniveling little weasel did a complete 180° on Trump after going golfing with him at one of Trump's properties. Something happened that turned a vocal Trump critic into one of his biggest cheerleaders in a single afternoon and I highly doubt it was the result of a policy discussion.

So is there a time limit in which the DA would need to indict before having to go back to a grand jury? Or is this something g that will always sit over their heads as something that could be charged whenever?

I believe it's 5 years for the statute of limitations on these particular crimes. They have plenty of time. Trump is the focus, and once that trial is either over, or well underway, indictments will come to the remaining unindicted.

I believe the judge doesn't think further indictments are likely:

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered the partial release of the report in February but declined to immediately release the panel’s recommendations on who should or should not be prosecuted. The judge said at the time that he wanted to protect people’s due process rights.

McBurney said in a new order filed Aug. 28 that the due process concerns were moot since a regular grand jury has indicted Trump and 18 other people under the state’s anti-racketeering law.

If he truly believes that not releasing the names of the unindicted protects their due process rights, then it only makes sense the reason he considers the issue moot now is because they will remain unindicted.

Idk but I see the logic of getting Trump convicted and then it makes it easier to go after the other big fish.
