The specificity of the Georgia Indictment under racketeering law lays out a sequence of events that connect many people in a singular undertaking: Get Donald Trump Georgia’s electoral college votes to give back the White House. Much of this was premeditated, even before the election results were known. And the conspiracy continued into spring of 2021.
The indictment, two and half years in the making, lists 161 specific acts that were “in furtherance of the conspiracy.” Many Conservative MAGA state politicians in Georgia are incensed that a black female district attorney in Atlanta would lay out the evidence compellingly.
I want to introduce you to Ray Stallings Smith, a lawyer in Georgia. He represented the Georgia Republican Party attempting to get the Georgia legislature to swap the Biden electors for Trump electors,
Trump is frequently his own worst enemy ( no easy task), especially as his phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was made public, revealing his threats to find 11,781 vote need to win Georgia in a recount.
Attorney Smith was oblivious to reality, which is why he is indicted for his Act 25 performance for knowingly, willfully, and unlawfully making at least one of the following false statements and representations to members of the Georgia Senate present at a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee meeting:
Smith riffed through the statistics, stating there is “ . . all sorts of crazy stuff.”
He wasn’t kidding.
The indictment’s summation of Smith’s testimony notes his key points:
2,506 felons voted illegally in the November 3, 2020, presidential election in Georgia;
66,248 underage people illegally registered to vote before their seventeenth birthday prior to election in Georgia;
2,423 people, at least, voted in in Georgia who were not listed as registered to vote;
1,043 people who voted had illegally registered to vote using a post office box;
10,315 or more dead people voted;
Fulton County election workers at State Farm Arena ordered poll watchers and media members to leave the tabulation area on the night of November 3, 2020, and continued to operate.
Are you telling me Ray Stallings Smith, a lawyer, testifying before the state senate, made all of these statistics up?
Are we talking delusion, imagination, or plain old make it up? Perhaps they found these figures on various Twitter and social media sites, always trusty worthy locales for straight talk.
Did they stop to consider what could happen to themselves if their numbers were not honest? Apparently not.
The Fulton indictment reads like a novel with all manner of descriptions of what went on in a loosely constructed and ultimately catastrophic conspiracy FAIL. Each aspect of the conspiracy is based on testimony and evidence the Georgia team has gathered.
Five days after the indictment was revealed, Republicans in the state legislature generated classical outrage with a torrent of words that did not dispute any facts.
The mouthpiece for this is a Freshman Senator named Colton Moore from Trenton, GA., a town of about 2,300 close to the Tennessee border. (Separated from Atlanta by 2 hours and one century). He won his Senate seat in District 53 unopposed. That’s how white and conservative the district is.
Colton graduated from the University of Georgia and when he isn’t driving a truck, he is an auctioneer. You can hear that cadence call in his writing. “We, the undersigned … hereby certify to you (Gov. Kemp)… that in our opinion, an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened … for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis.”
The indictment specified 161 acts of conspiracy and lays out 41 counts for criminal trial. All of this is from a two-and-half-year investigation. Does the freshman senator think Fani Willis found her evidence in a mayonnaise jar buried in the Oakland Cemetery?
Colton used the entire MAGA stream of consciousness in his Twitter explanation:
“America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents…Corrupt district attorney Fani Willis is potentially abusing her position of power…The politically motivated weaponization of our justice system at the expense of taxpayers will not be tolerated. I am demanding that we defund her office until we find out what the hell is going on.” The website headline read, “God. Guns. Liberty. Leadership.”
The cold war against equality and democracy has been running for over 165 years. Trump elevated it to the front of his agenda to turn back the clock on nearly everything since 1932. Vote in 2024 because,
just as 248 years ago, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
