Scarlet Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/610 Any Trumpsters here like to spin this as not illegal? Or how this is in keeping with conservativism? Probably can't so you'll have to pull out the fake news card. 2 Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 On 2/9/2021 at 5:09 AM, Scarlet said: Unsurprisingly, it has now turned into a criminal investigation. The inquiry makes Georgia the second state after New York where Mr. Trump faces a criminal investigation. And it comes in a jurisdiction where potential jurors are unlikely to be hospitable to the former president; Fulton County encompasses most of Atlanta and overwhelmingly supported President Biden in the November election. The Fulton County investigation comes on the heels of a decision Monday by Mr. Raffensperger’s office to open an administrative inquiry. Ms. Willis has been weighing for several weeks whether to open an inquiry, after Mr. Trump’s phone call to Mr. Raffensperger on Jan. 2 alarmed election experts who call it an extraordinary intervention into a state’s electoral process. That call was one of several attempts Mr. Trump made to persuade top Republican officials in the state to uncover instances of voting fraud that might change the outcome. He also called Gov. Brian Kemp in early December and pressured him to call a special legislative session to overturn his election loss. Later that month, Mr. Trump called a state investigator and pressed the official to “find the fraud,” according to those with knowledge of the call. Former prosecutors said Mr. Trump’s calls might run afoul of at least three state laws. One is criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, which can be either a felony or a misdemeanor; as a felony, it is punishable by at least a year in prison. There is also a related conspiracy charge, which can be prosecuted either as a misdemeanor or a felony. A third law, a misdemeanor offense, bars “intentional interference” with another person’s “performance of election duties.” 3 Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Any criminal trial is going to be interesting. trump won't have complicit Republican Senators to hide behind. 3 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The Georgia criminal charge will be "YUGE" and is rightly needed and justifiable. The desperation to stay in office by Trump by taking so many risky actions(at the least) as well as criminal (most likely) - begs the question "What is he running from?" No sober, sane, intelligent and respectful person (granted Trump is neither of those but I digress) would take such action unless they are under great duress to do so. He surely didn't do it for the good of the country as he is a know narcissistic person. Does he still have some unpaid IOUs to Putin that he has to fulfill? 1 Link to comment

I was about to post the same thing in this tread. Perhaps a foretaste of trump's legal troubles and what will happen to his empire as a whole and hopefully his political movement. This is what the GOP should have done in the impeachment trial-- implode trump's political future. 1 Link to comment
