Georgia prosecutor kills the historic election interference case against Trump and allies

Source: CNN

A Georgia prosecutor on Wednesday officially dropped the historic racketeering case against President Donald Trump and others for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election, closing the chapter in a legal effort once seen as a grave threat to Trump’s political future.

The historic state racketeering charges were filed on August 14, 2023, by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, an elected Democrat who launched a lengthy investigation into Trump’s alleged interference in the Georgia election in early 2021.

The investigation began shortly after a January phone call became public in which Trump pressured Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, to “find” the votes necessary for him to win the state in the Presidential election.

"Peter Skandalakis, director of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Council of Georgia, a bipartisan collaboration of six district attorneys and three solicitors general from across the state, assigned the case to himself earlier this month after he was unable to find another prosecutor willing to take it on." Was he threatened or rewarded?

He was rewarded with the cessation of threats… For now. Today. But, Agent Orange has proven time and again that even total obliteration is not enough to satisfy his psychopathy. He chases ghosts.

This period, the Trump era, will go down as one of the most lawless periods of unqualified hacks screwing the country, in its history.
This decade has been one of unmitigated embarrassment. Our country has become a seething pit of selfish, cruel, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic bigoted rejects that have truly dragged this country to one of its lowest periods in its history.

My kids kids will still be trying to recover from it...at least as long as we live that long.
