Fulton County DA Fani Willis does not sound like the other prosecutors targeting Donald Trump. She's aggressive. Really aggressive. She's giving him & his 18 associates 'no later than noon Friday' to voluntarily surrender—or face arrest. thedailybeast:
Among the 19 people indicted Monday night were Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, election lawyer John Eastman, attorney Ken Chesebro, DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, Trump aide Mike Roman, and lawyer Sidney Powell. Additionally, there were 30 unindicted co-conspirators mentioned in the document who are collectively referred to with the indicted individuals as a “criminal organization.
The indictment goes on to claim these individuals “unlawfully conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia.” “All elections in our nation are administered by the states, which are given the responsibility of ensuring a fair process and an accurate counting of the votes. That includes elections for presidential electors, Congress, state officials, and local offices,” Willis said, stressing that fair elections are “essential to the functioning of our democracy.”
Notably, the indictment pins the worst behavior on Trump himself, noting the way he tried to have a loyalist at the upper echelons of the Department of Justice intimidate Georgia state officials into changing the election outcome. Although this law enforcement effort by the local DA in Atlanta is the last of the expected indictments against Trump, it appears to be the farthest reaching one. The conspiracy laid out by prosecutors documents phone calls, meetings, and planning sessions that took place across the country—stretching from Arizona to Pennsylvania.
A Georgia courtroom stayed late Monday night to hand the indictments over to Judge Robert McBurney at almost exactly 9 p.m., with the whole spectacle taking place on live television. The judge reviewed the indictments and handed the documents back to a clerk, who then uploaded the documents about two hours later.
