The functioning of our Democracy that’s what this week’s column is about as it relates to former president Donald Trump, HOT in the news once again.
Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has asked a Judge to set a March 4, 2024, trial date for Donald Trump and 18 Co-Defendants in the Georgia Election fraud case.
Monday night, August 14, 2023, after 11 pm, it was announced by the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, Fani Willis, that Donald Trump and his lawyers, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, were among 19 people named in a 41 cunt indictment. The indictment accuses the defendants of unlawfully conspiring to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise following Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. One of the key states where Trump intervened, in an attempt, in the days following the Nov 2020 General Election, to “find” additional votes to have him come out the winner in Georgia over Joe Biden.

Many occurred in Georgia, and some occurred in other jurisdictions and are included because the Grand Jury believes they were part of the illegal effort to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
The acts identified as “predicate acts,” Fani Willis continued, “or acts of racketeering, are crimes that are alleged to have been committed in furtherance of the criminal enterprise. Acts of racketeering activity are also charged as separate counts in the indictment against those who are alleged to have committed them.” D.A. Fani Willis went on to say that across America, all elections are expected to be fair. She said that each state in the nation is given the responsibility to ensure a fair and accurate election process and correct counting of votes. Fani Willis added, “That includes elections for presidential elections, Congress, state officials, and local offices.
