    Starting to pick up speed. The DA, Fani Willis, recently hired outside counsel experienced in RICO prosecutions. I think a target letter means they will soon be indicted and should maybe get counsel and make a deal.

    Exclusive: Fulton County DA sends 'target' letters to Trump allies in Georgia investigation

    In the latest sign that she is moving rapidly in her investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis has sent so-called target letters to prominent Georgia Republicans informing them they could be indicted for their role in a scheme to appoint alternate electors pledged to the former president despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state, according to legal sources familiar with the matter.

    The move by Willis, a Democrat, could have major political implications in a crucial battleground state with high-profile races for governor and the U.S. Senate this fall. Among the recipients of the target letters, the sources said, are GOP state Sen. Burt Jones, Gov. Brian Kemp’s running mate for lieutenant governor; David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party; and state Sen. Brandon Beach.

    The RICO comment got my attention. I’ve been involved in a couple. There are qualifiers that I’m not sure exist in this case.

    The public in general has lost so much faith in the nation’s institutions. Public corruption needs to be prosecuted.

    Gov Kemp testifies to grand jury investigating trump corrupt attempt to overturn vote in GA. He’ll never get invited to Mar-Alago now. Can you say Governor Abrams?
    Georgia: The impact of Governor Kemp's testimony in Trump probe


    SAVANNAH, Ga. —

    Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp testified Monday against Former President Donald Trump before a special grand jury in Fulton County.

    Kemp’s testimony comes as the grand jury continues to investigate whether Trump or others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 election in Georgia.
    We don’t often necessarily see sitting governors getting involved in these investigations unless there’s something pretty big going on,” Riley-Topping said.

    This DA is a political hack and certainly not remotely bright enough to convict a shoplifter much less a former President. For god sakes Fulton county one of the worst counties in the US elected her.

    so what do you think of a POTUS telling state officials to change their votes so he will win? Is that okay with you to just falsify election results?

    I don’t know if he did or didn’t but either way nothing came if it. At any rate a two bit racist DA from Fulton county is going way past her pay grade messing around with it. It’s just political theater.

    So no harm no foul? Guess we should never charge anyone with attempted murder, especially if nothing comes of the attempt.

    IT’S. ON. TAPE. If she were to ignore it, it would be malfeasance and dereliction of duty.

    so if I shoot at you and miss, that is okay with you. I mean I missed, no harm no foul. Telling people to change votes to overturn the election for POTUS s not political theater, it is felonious treason. How seemingly intelligent people can jsut look past all that is beyond me. The man is on tape telling the SOS of georgia to change the vote totals, what do you mean you don't know if he did or he didn't. Do you thinkt he republican SOS of Georgia is lying and he fabricated the tape. come on man, do better
