Trump Lawyer Sydney Powell directed people to sieze and then break into a voting machine for its data. Trump asked Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” 11,780 votes and threatened repercussions if he didn't.
That's racketeering under Georgia law.
Remember- presidents cannot pardon state-level crimes. Even if he were elected, if he were found guilty here, he couldn't pardon himself.
Sure, but who is going to hold him accountable? The justice department can't do anything when the supreme court is willing to fold on constitutional law in favor of personal interest and partisan loyalism -- checks and balances only work when they're impartial and that's just not the case right now. I definitely wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for any Trump conviction to have any actual impact.
I guess it depends on whether or not he can be extradited to Georgia if found guilty. Otherwise all he has to do is just never go to Georgia.
Or any state willing to extradite him to Georgia.
Gavin Newsome will be keeping black bag teams on standby at every airport in California.
Yeah, but could they put a sitting president in jail?
Brian Kemp has been nose deep in Trump's orange grundle for years, the only delay he would have in pardoning Trump is because of all the orgasms he'd have while drawing up the paperwork.
The governor of Georgia does not have the power to issue pardons.
And he is not on Trump's side. He might be a right-wing asshole, but he doesn't like Trump.
TIL. And there are eight other states where this is true. Done with the internet today. Don’t want to learn too much.
Lot of GOP leadership used their positions to protect Trump’s racketeering, influence peddling, and criminal acts in an organized way. RICO the fucking GOP.
Yes. As bad as Trump is. It is only because he was allowed and enabled to be that bad.
If it's what you say, I love it, especially later in the summer.
"I dId NoThInG wRoNg AnD tHeY sTiLl iNdIcTeD mE! WHAAA."
What a loser.
Hang 'em high!
Who knew shakedowns could be part of racketeering? /s
This might be the exception to "it's never RICO"
No, it's likely not an exception. But a DA is going to DA and shoot for the moon, so that he can drift aimlessly in the vacuum of space when he misses.
