Election Interference is Great Again in Georgia

The Fulton County, Georgia, election interference case against President Donald Trump and others has been dismissed after the prosecutor who took over the case requested that it be dropped. ... [Prosecutor Pete Skandalakis] acknowledged the seriousness of the case, writing that the indictment, if proven, "would establish a conspiracy undertaken by multiple individual. ... to overturn the results of the November 2020 Presidential Election," but said that trying a criminal case against Trump would not be feasible.

The charges, which were brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis following Trump's Jan. 2, 2021, phone call in which he asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" the votes needed to win the state, allege that the defendants solicited state leaders throughout the country, harassed and misled a Georgia election worker, and pushed phony claims that the election was stolen, all in an effort for Trump to remain in power despite his election loss.

I was promised by lefties that this case was a slam dunk.

#1 No you weren't, Perry "bell boi" Mason.

You just made that up out of whole cloth.

Oh, and FWIW... Ask these people about your "slam dunk" comment.

I'm sure it will make a difference to them:

Scott Hall September 29, 2023 Conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties (5 misdemeanor counts) Five years of probation, $5,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, a public apology to the state of Georgia, and to testify truthfully in future trials.[7]
Sidney Powell October 19, 2023 Conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties (6 misdemeanor counts) Six years of probation, $6,000 fine, $2,700 restitution, a public apology to the state of Georgia, and to testify truthfully in future trials.[111][112][113]
Kenneth Chesebro October 20, 2023 Conspiracy to commit filing false documents (1 felony count) Five years of probation, $5,000 restitution, 100 hours of community service, a public apology to the state of Georgia, and to testify truthfully in future trials.[114]

Treacherous General Michael Flynn (US Army Ret), who should have been recalled to active-duty under UCMJ proceedings and reduced in rank to PV1 for lying to the FBI, similar to how Der Fuhrer demoted Heinrich Himmler to PV1 in April 1945, wants the sniveling Sidney Powell to replace the incompetent (although efficiently greedy Pam Bondi) as the new USAG.

"Sadow's high-profile clients have included the rappers Gunna (Sergio Kitchens), T.I. (Clifford J. Harris, Jr.), and TyDolla$ (Tyrone Griffen)."

Well, at least he had defended Gangsters previously.

Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia Charlie Bailey had this to say about the dismissal of the case:

"The dismissal of this case is a travesty and a slap in the face to Georgia voters. Donald Trump and eighteen others, including sitting State Senator Shawn Still, were indicted by a grand jury for attempting to illegally overturn our state's election. Multiple of their co-defendants pled guilty.

This misguided decision denies the people of Georgia the accountability they deserve for Trump and his cronies' attempt to subvert their votes and silence their voices."

Trump could call up the Gov of a State and demand that they 'find' just enough votes for Trump to win... and Trumpers wouldn't care.

Because he's their King and Cult Leader, and the Law doesn't apply to him.

In any sane, rational reality it should have been.

But, unfortunately, our reality is inhabited by MAGA turds who saw nothing wrong with that phone call because they see nothing wrong with anything Trump turd does.

- this case was a slam dunk.

It was and it is. The claim the Prosecutor made to the Judge was that it would cost too much and take years to try.

But hey, JBalless hears Trump order that just enough votes be found for him to win... and couldn't care less.

#5 **WARNING** You are addressing Perry "bell boi" Mason:

He's a dedicated warrior in a court of law.

Unfortunately, he's fighting his own personal Battle of the Hurtgen Forest, thinking he's slaying liberals with his "facts" ...

... in the Court of Public Opinion...

...where his legalese is as valuable as a "Greyback", which was first issued into circulation in April 1861.

That's Perry "bell boi" Mason.

"The claim the Prosecutor made to the Judge was that it would cost too much and take years to try."

And that it would be impossible to expect the President to stand trial in Georgia.

There was no comment on the merits of the case in the dismissal.

But there is nonsense like this, from the motion to dismiss.

"I begin the process of evaluating this case with a basic truth: It is not illegal to question or
challenge election results."

That is a ridiculous description of what Trump was doing on that phone call.

And this:

"This entire case, from the initiation of the District Attorney's investigation in 2021 to the
present, is without precedent."

A President asking a Secretary of State to find 12,000 votes is likewise without precedent.

As was mentioned, the dismissal does not speak to the merits of the case. It's because:

"There is no realistic prospect
that a sitting President will be compelled to appear in Georgia to stand trial on the
allegations in this indictment."

It's funny how Gutes Deutsch keeps pointing to Trump's corruption as reasons to justify his past acceptance of Trump's corruption.

UnAmerican POS justifying it by pointing to the most unAmerican POTUS of my lifetime.

... trying a criminal case against Trump would not be feasible. ...

So, he seems to be admitting that he is not up to the task before him?
