#georgia election investigation

A Georgia grand jury concluded that one or more witnesses in a probe into possible election meddling by former President Donald Trump may have lied under oath, and recommended a prosecutor pursue criminal indictments in those cases. The special grand jury also found no significant fraud in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election won by President Joe Biden, according to portions of the final report on its monthslong investigation unsealed Thursday.
But the panel’s conclusions on whether Trump, his lawyers and political allies committed crimes while pressuring state officials to overturn the election in his favor by making false claims of election fraud were not released Thursday.
Among other actions, the grand jury that was impaneled in May was known to be eyeing a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call by Trump, in which he urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes for him. That number of votes would have given Trump enough to win the state and its 16 Electoral College votes. Raffensperger refused to comply with Trump’s request.
The sealed sections of the report are expected to become public at some future date. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will determine whether to charge Trump or anyone else in the case.
In the unsealed sections, the grand jury said it received evidence involving more than 75 witnesses, most of which was delivered in person and under oath. The report noted that the panel’s extensive witness list included poll workers, investigators, technical experts and state officials, as well as “persons still claiming that such fraud took place.”
“A majority of the Grand Jury believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it,” the report said. “The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling.”
The grand jury voted unanimously in concluding that “no widespread fraud took place in the Georgia 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning that election,” according to the report.
The grand jury had 23 members and three alternates.
An attorney for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the unsealed excerpts of the report. A spokeswoman for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign posted a lengthy Twitter thread later Thursday criticizing the grand jury for apparently rejecting a variety of dubious fraud claims in Georgia’s election.
Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney on Monday approved the disclosure of three portions of the final report because they do not identify any witnesses. But he decided that disclosure of the entire report “at this time is not proper,” citing due process concerns.
Georgia was one of several key swing states that gave the Democratic nominee Biden his margin of victory in the Electoral College over the Republican Trump.
Trump after Election Day falsely claimed that he had won the popular election both nationally and in the swing states, arguing that he was denied victory in the Electoral College because of widespread popular ballot fraud. Trump said the election had been “rigged” against him, citing a plethora of unfounded conspiracy theories.
Multiple lawsuits filed in late 2020 by Trump’s campaign seeking to overturn state election results were almost entirely rejected in the courts.
After Raffensperger, who is Georgia’s top election official refused Trump’s request to find him enough votes to reverse his loss, the stage was set for Congress to confirm the results of the Electoral College on Jan. 6, 2021.
But on that day a violent crowd of Trump’s supporters, spurred by his false election claims, invaded the U.S. Capitol, causing lawmakers to flee for safety. Hours later, after the mob left the complex, a joint session of Congress confirmed Biden’s victory in the election.
Trump was impeached in the House on a charge of fomenting the riot, but later was acquitted in the Senate.
Willis, the Fulton County DA, in February 2021 opened a criminal investigation into Trump’s call to Raffensperger.

The Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season is just getting started. 
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the official who stood up to Donald Trump’s attempt to fraudulently reverse the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, testified before the House January 6th Committee on Tuesday.
It’s probable that Sec. Raffensperger is one of Trump’s least favorite Republicans. Perhaps only Mike Pence gives him any competition.
Raffensperger recently defeated a Trump-endorsed challenger in the Georgia primary. That probably infuriated Trump. And seeing Raffensperger testify live this week must have made Trump’s blood pressure skyrocket. 
Trump hates Raffensperger so much that he once claimed that the latter’s brother works for China. But The Wrap pointed out there’s a major problem with that allegation.
“Now it turns out that Brad R’s brother works for China, and they definitely don’t want ‘Trump’. So disgusting!”
“What if I told you Brad Raffensperger doesn’t even have a brother?” replied Atlanta-based investigative reporter Brendan Keefe. “The person, Ron Raffensperger, exists. But he is not Brad’s brother. James O’Keefe is not my brother, either. See how that works?”
Trump just makes shit up constantly – and his rabid followers don’t care that he lies to them nonstop. 
Trump will have even more reason to fume about Brad Raffensperger in the coming months. Sec. Raffensperger early this month testified before a grand jury about Trump’s false election claims.
Raffensperger testifies before Georgia grand jury investigating Trump's push to overturn 2020 election
Such high profile grand juries tend to result in indictments.

No Labels Isn't What It Claims to Be
The “No Labels” Party is not what it pretends to be. It’s a front group for Donald Trump.
Now I understand, if you’re sick of the two major parties, you might be intrigued by a party that claims to be a “common sense” alternative that finds the middle ground.
But if you or anyone in your life is planning to vote for No Labels — or any third party — in 2024, please watch and share this video first.
Here are three things you need to know.
First, No Labels is a dark money group with secret far-right donors. Investigative reporting has revealed that they include many of the same Republican donors who have pumped huge sums of money into electing candidates like Trump and Ron DeSantis. They also include the rightwing billionaire Harlan Crow, who spent years secretly treating Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to a lifestyle of the rich and famous.
If the No Labels Party is backed by Trump donors, in an election where Trump is on the ballot, there’s actually a label we should give to “No Labels.” Clearly, they’re a pro-Trump group.
Second, the premise No Labels is based on — that Donald Trump and President Biden are at equally extreme ends of the political spectrum — is preposterous.
Trump has been impeached twice, found by a jury to have committed sexual assault, is facing 91 criminal charges in four separate cases — two of them in connection with an attempt to effectively end American democracy.
There is no “equally extreme” candidate as Trump!
Finally, the structure of the Electoral College means that as a practical matter, a third party only draws votes away from whichever major party candidate is closest to it. No third party candidate has ever won a presidential election.
And in this particular election, when one of the major parties is putting up a candidate who threatens democracy itself, we cannot take the risk.
Donald Trump has already tried to overturn one election and suggested suspending the Constitution to maintain power. It is no exaggeration to say that if he takes the White House again, there may not ever be another free and fair election.
Democracy won by a whisker in the last presidential election. Just 44,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin — less than one tenth of 1 percent of the total votes cast nationwide — were the difference between the Biden presidency and a tie in the Electoral College that would have thrown the election to the House of Representatives, and hence to Trump.
If candidates from No Labels— or any other third party, like the Green Party or the Libertarian Party —  peel off just a fraction of the anti-Trump vote from Biden, while Trump voters stay loyal to him, Trump could win the top five swing states comfortably and return to the Oval Office. And No Labels’ own polling shows they would do just that!
Let me be absolutely clear. Third-party groups like No Labels are in effect front groups for Trump in 2024, and should be treated as such.
The supposed “centrism” No Labels touts is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and fascism.
Please share this video and spread the word.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday rebuked House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan for his decision to investigate the Georgia election interference probe that led to the indictment of former President Donald Trump and 18 other defendants.
In a letter, Willis, a Democrat, accused Jordan, R-Ohio, of overstepping his congressional authority with his recent requests for information pertaining to her investigation.
Willis, who was responding to a letter Jordan sent in late August, said there is "no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter."
Trump was charged in Fulton County last month with felony racketeering and numerous conspiracy charges in the 41-count indictment, which named a total of 19 defendants. Jordan announced that he was launching a congressional probe into Willis' investigation shortly before Trump surrendered to the jail in Fulton County.
"The obvious purpose" of Jordan's requests, Willis said, "is to obstruct a Georgia criminal proceeding and to advance outrageous partisan misrepresentations." She said that his public statements and recent letter "make clear that you lack any legitimate legislative purpose for that inquiry."

Update
Former President Donald Trump was arrested at the Fulton County Jail on felony charges in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
They let him out the same day, and told him he was basically free to go and didn't have to stay in jail no more.
In a first for his four indictments this year, Trump had his mug shot taken. It was released shortly after he left the jail, and has since been spread around the world on social media.
Social media allows pictures to spread much faster than if they were in print instead.
Trump used a local bail bondsman in a ballroom in Georgia to post his bond. An independent bonding agent (some sources speculate "Quikrete") confirmed that they were both dressed excellently.
The Fulton County Jail, where Trump was booked, has a history of violence and poor conditions. The Mishima Zaibatsu has already sent scouts to the area to evaluate the violence and see if there are any potential fighters to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 8.
District Attorney Fani Willis repeatedly swept the investigation and the racketeering charges against Trump and 18 co-defendants. Many of them, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, have already plugged.
A federal judge yesterday denied requests by two defendants — Meadows and Jeffrey Clark — to delay their strings. All defendants face a deadline of noon tomorrow to plug voluntarily before they lose rank points.

Special counsel Jack Smith has informed former President Donald Trump by letter that he is a target in his investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Trump also confirmed the development in a post on his Truth Social platform.
The letter, which sources said was transmitted to Trump's attorneys in recent days, indicates that yet another indictment of the former president could be imminent -- though it is not immediately clear what kind of charges he could ultimately face.
Target letters are typically given to subjects in a criminal investigation to put them on notice that they are facing the prospect of indictment.
Multiple sources tell ABC News that allies, aides and attorneys for the former president have been working to determine if anyone else received a target letter from the special counsel regarding the election probe.
"We can't find anyone," a source said Tuesday afternoon.
An attorney for Trump's former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told ABC News that the former New York City mayor had not received a letter as of Tuesday afternoon.
Trump previously received a target letter from Smith before he was indicted by a grand jury in Florida for his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House and his alleged efforts to obstruct the government's investigation.
Smith took control of the sprawling Justice Department investigation into the failed efforts by Trump and his allies to thwart his election loss upon his appointment as special counsel in November of last year, and in recent months dozens of witnesses have appeared to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.
According to sources, prosecutors have questioned witnesses specifically about the efforts to put forward false slates of so-called false electors that were to have cast electoral college votes during the certification for Trump in key swing states that he lost to President Joe Biden.
Investigators have also sought information on Trump's actions and his state of mind in the days leading up to and on Jan. 6, 2021, when thousands of Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol, temporarily disrupting the certification and causing lawmakers and former Vice President Pence to flee the building.
Trump was indicted last month on 37 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials, after Smith's prosecutors said he repeatedly refused to return hundreds of documents containing classified information ranging from U.S. nuclear secrets to the nation's defense capabilities. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The former president has also pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment from the Manhattan district attorney charging him with falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 presidential election.

Donald Trump charged in Georgia for efforts to overturn the 2020 election
Link here, because WaPo's security measures stop Tumblr previews. Non-paywall link here.
"Former president Donald Trump and 18 others were criminally charged in Georgia on Monday in connection with efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in the state, according to an indictment made public late Monday night [on August 14, 2023].
Trump was charged with 13 counts, including violating the state’s racketeering act, soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, conspiring to impersonate a public officer, conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiring to file false documents.
The Recap
The historic indictment, the fourth to implicate the former president, follows a 2½-year investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D). The probe was launched after audio leaked from a January 2021 phone call during which Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to question the validity of thousands of ballots, especially in the heavily Democratic Atlanta area, and said he wanted to “find” the votes to erase his 2020 loss in the state.
Willis’s investigation quickly expanded to other alleged efforts by Trumpor his supporters, including trying to thwart the electoral college process, harassing election workers, spreading false information about the voting process in Georgia and compromising election equipment in a rural county. Trump has long decried the Georgia investigation as a “political witch hunt,” defending his calls to Raffensperger and others as “perfect.”
The Details
“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment states.
A total of 41 charges are brought against 19 defendants in the 98-page indictment. Not all face the same counts, but all have been charged with violating the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Willis said she has given those charged until Aug. 25 to surrender.
Among those charged are Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who served as Trump’s personal attorney after the election; Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows; and several Trump advisers, including attorneys John Eastman, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro...
Prosecutors brought charges around five subject areas: false statements by Trump allies, including Giuliani, to the Georgia legislature; the breach of voting data in Coffee County; calls Trump made to state officials, including Raffensperger, seeking to overturn Biden’s victory; the harassment of election workers; and the creation of a slate of alternate electors to undermine the legitimate vote. Those charged in the case were implicated in certain parts of what prosecutors presented as a larger enterprise to undermine the election."

I'm having a bit of a rough mood from seeing that the judge in the Georgia case dismissed some of the orange motherfucker's charges.
Can I get some your ever-insightful perspective on this, and if there's still hope for prison time for something? Anything at all?
I can offer a few pieces of context on this, yes. First, the judge did dismiss a few of the less-substantiated and secondary charges against Trump in the Georgia election interference case. However, these charges were primarily related to "soliciting others to make false statements," i.e. how he enlisted others in the purpose of overturning the GA election results, and do not contest or impact upon the actual fact of election subversion (which is at the core of the prosecution). The judge also openly invited the prosecutorial team to re-submit the dismissed charges with more substantiated evidence and clearer testimony, so this wasn't a from-the-bench hack job like the ones Aileen Cannon keeps running in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case (seriously, when can we appeal to the 11th Circuit to get her taken off? WHEN???) Which, considering that this is a Republican judge appointed by a Republican governor (Brian Kemp) is a good sign.
In short, this wasn't the judge saying "all these charges are bogus and inadmissible," it was the judge saying "I'll dismiss a few of these for not being as well substantiated as the others, but please resubmit with revisions/improvements and I will be happy to consider them again." And while I am not a lawyer, it is my understanding that prosecutors typically bring a multiplicity of charges, including some that might not ultimately stick, in case of this exact circumstance where some of them get dismissed/required to undergo judicial review/are otherwise ancillary to the central indictment. Which, in this case, is still intact. So no, Trump is 100% not "getting entirely off the hook" or "no longer under investigation in Georgia" or whatever else. I'm sure the GOP will try to spin it as such, but ignore them. The Trump "find me 11,780 votes" phone call to Raffensperger and the rest of his Georgia election interference has not been dismissed, and the RICO case still largely exists as first filed.
This is also a good sign that the judge won't order Fani Willis dismissed and the case completely shut down, as the Georgia Republicans have been trying to do with their hit-job inquiry into her personal life. If the judge was leaning toward dismissing Willis/the case entirely, this could have been a lot more sweeping intervention, but it doesn't look like he's going to do that, and in fact offered them an invitation to re-submit and make the case stronger. So that actually bodes better for the chances of eventually securing a conviction in the Georgia case, if the prosecutors have to go back to the drawing board and make sure everything is airtight. It's probably helpful to see all this in the above light and to understand that all legal cases drag on for years, with forward progress and setbacks. Especially this one, which is unprecedented in all ways.
However, I need to warn people again about thinking that Trump will be tried, convicted, and imprisoned before the election, and that this will spare us from having to vote against him or otherwise electorally dispose of him. SCOTUS, to nobody's surprise but still our disappointment, agreed to hear the Trump immunity case in late April (instead of just accepting the DC Circuit's opinion), and while they're likely to rule against him, that still creates another months-long delay. Importantly, though, the Department of Justice has announced that the "no legal proceedings 60 days before the election" rule does NOT apply to Trump, as he has already been indicted and the cases are currently being litigated. If they had decided that the 60-day rule applied, all trial proceedings would have to be frozen in the first week of September, but since not, they can continue into October and November. If the 60-day rule had been upheld, it would have drastically increased the odds of Trump avoiding trial entirely before the election, as few prosecutors would have wanted to proceed when they knew that there was an automatic kill switch built in. But if the DOJ holds to this, Trump could literally be on trial on Election Day itself. Which is good, obviously, but still: it will not be the magic solution. We still have to vote for Biden.
As I have said before, the stakes in 2024 are simple. The criminal trials will not get rid of Trump before the election. There will be another election that is Trump vs. Biden and therefore one of them will win the presidency. If Biden wins and Trump loses, Trump will be out of delay options and will go to prison almost 100% as all his criminal chickens come home to roost. If he wins, we will be fucked for generations to come. Vote accordingly.

Looks like Georgia taking 1 big step closer towards the truth about the 2020 election
Over a dozen state Senators have sponsored and filed a bill to remove corrupt Sec. of State Brad Raffesberger from the State Election Board
These Senators will then investigate his involvement in the 2020 coverup
Remember, Rudy Giuliani has to pay $140 million for saying Georgia’s elections are rigged while the GA Senate actively investigates rampant election fraud
The truth will prevail in the end
Tumblr media
BREAKING: Georgia State Senators have introduced a bill to REMOVE corrupt Secretary of State Brad Raffesperger from the State Election Board, and grant the board authority to investigate him for election law violations Sponsors of the bill include Majority Leader Steve Gooch, Senator Greg Dolezal and others This situation started when Raffensperger failed to investigate the 2020 election fraud discovered by citizen election integrity advocate Joseph Rossi. "These initial findings and an inability to obtain explanations from Raffensperger's office led Rossi to provide the evidence to Governor Brian Kemp's office which performed its own independent analysis and then issued a written finding saying that Rossi's results were factual." Per
@GA_Record In other words, Raffensperger worked to cover up 2020 election fraud instead of doing something about it.

In the early morning of Wednesday, May 31, a heavily armed joint task force of officers from the Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation raided the Teardown House, a long-standing community center in Edgewood—a historically Black, rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in Atlanta—that doubles as a home for community organizers.
The police arrested Marlon Kautz, Adele Maclean, and Savannah Patterson, three activists who help run the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, a mutual aid and bail fund founded in 2016. Their arrests were predicated on allegations of “charity fraud” and money laundering—all connected, quite tenuously, to the effort to stop the building of the infamous police training center known as Cop City.
On Monday, Cop City took another step forward, as the Atlanta City Council voted 11-4 to spend an additional $30 million of public money on the project—bringing the city’s total funding to $67 million. The council did this after more than 14 consecutive hours of impassioned public comment against the project.
The one-two punch of the arrests and the vote can be viewed in tandem. The charges against Kautz, Maclean, and Patterson make a mockery of the notion of fair justice. They are so laughable that even the judge presiding over the three activists’ bail hearing pronounced himself skeptical about them. Similarly, the Atlanta government’s obvious contempt for its citizens makes a mockery of the notion of real democracy. And in both cases, that is the point: to send a message that anyone with the temerity to oppose Cop City will be crushed by the state, one way or the other.
For the better part of two years, a diverse group of Atlantans—from environmentalists to neighborhood groups to police abolitionists—have been organizing against Cop City, a massive, militarized so-called “Public Safety Training Facility” being built in the middle of the Weelaunee Forest. The forest is a critical natural resource, known as one of the four “lungs” of the city of Atlanta. The name Cop City reflects the project’s most ominous feature: a mock city where police will be trained to surveil, target, and kill citizens more effectively. The construction of Cop City would come at an enormous cost to Atlanta taxpayers and raze up to 381 acres of critically important forestland.
The dissent against the destruction of the forest is strong, but so too is the corporate and political heft behind Cop City. The Atlanta Police Foundation, the corporate-backed nonprofit that is funding much of the project, is widely viewed as one of the most powerful organizations of its kind in the country. When it tells City Hall to jump, City Hall usually asks how high. Elected officials have chosen to mostly ignore the widespread opposition, making the calculation that it will be easier to weather their constituents’ anger than risk running afoul of corporate and police interests. (It’s also easy to pose as above the fray if you know that the police and the legal system will do your dirty work for you.)
That Atlanta is gentrifying at a breakneck speed helps explain the fanatical insistence that Cop City be built. (It also explains the city’s hostility toward the Teardown, a bulwark of resistance that, among other things, gives out free food to its neighbors.) Since 1990, Atlanta’s Black population has decreased from 67 percent to 48 percent. In 2022, Money magazine named the city as the best place in the country to live. If you are Money’s target demographic, this is probably true. For everyone else, particularly Black Atlantans, it is a place of struggle and organized abandonment by the state.
The government’s escalating response to the movement against Cop City can be seen through this lens. Police protect capital and power, not ordinary citizens. A massive militarized police facility promises to quell dissent of the sort we saw grip the country in the summer of 2020. Cop City sends a clear message: Developers, your money is safe here; citizens, you are safe as long as you acquiesce to the demands of the police state.
Resistance to Cop City has been tireless and has been met with severe repression. In 2021, the Atlanta City Council ignored nearly 17 hours of public comment opposed to Cop City, voting in favor of funding the project. Police immediately arrested demonstrators outside of council member Natalyn Archibong’s home (the council was still meeting remotely because of the pandemic).
The state’s response has spiraled from there. On January 18, 2023, Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, known as Tortugita, was shot and killed by a group of Georgia State Patrol officers. They were left to die with 57 bullet wounds in their body. Tortugita was a forest defender who had been living in the trees they hoped to save when they were slain. Police immediately claimed that Tortugita had been firing a weapon at them, but the government’s official autopsy found no traces of gun residue on their hands, and a family autopsy determined that they actually had their hands raised at the time of their death. No police officers have been charged in connection with Tortugita’s death, nor are they likely to be.
In addition to Tortugita’s killing, 42 people have been charged with domestic terrorism, three with police intimidation and stalking for placing Stop Cop City flyers on mailboxes. Now we can add the Atlanta Solidarity Fund arrests to that list. These charges all have two things in common: wild disproportionality and a virtually nonexistent foundation in real evidence.
