Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia are in possession of text messages and emails directly connecting members of Donald Trump’s legal team to the early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County, sources tell CNN.

        Graham is up to his ass in this. 20 years ago I thought he was a bigot, but one who had opinions worth listening to on national security and military affairs.

        What a sad little wrinkled balloon he turned out to be. Hope his ass gets indicted too.

      Correct. He will get Republican Governor pardon for this one. Everyone acts like any of these felonies will have consequences. Dudes gonna skate, he needs one dumb red hat in that jury box. One.

        From the linked article…

        Last year, a former Trump official testified under oath to the House January 6 select committee that plans to access voting systems in Georgia were discussed in meetings at the White House, including during an Oval Office meeting on December 18, 2020,  that included Trump.

        That makes him part of the conspiracy.

          Not a lawyer, but that doesn’t seem like enough to nail someone like Trump. We need actual messages from him. Hopefully I’m wrong.

            You’re right. There would have to be additional evidence for them to even bother indicting. And it seems that there most likely is. But what we do know now in and of itself is a substantial amount of evidence. Testimony that rises to the level of Congressional testimony with corroboration would absolutely be enough.

          I think most people here are under the impression that I’m defending Trump or something. I’m not, and I personally think he should be in jail. What I’m saying is, given the political circumstances, there’s going to need to be something directly from him for this to really matter. Prosecutors and judges are being extremely careful to not look biased. But I hope my scepticism is proven wrong. I’m really still in the “I’ll believe Trump gets convicted when I see it happen” camp. This all still feels like a show to me. Again, I believe he deserves to be in jail, but I don’t think he ever will be. My personal theory is that all these trials are just an attempt to distract him and eat up valuable time and money that he needs to be able to campaign. He ain’t getting convicted though, unfortunately. We all know we have a two-tiered justice system in the US. Any average person would be in a dungeon already for what Trump has done.
