Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Donald Trump on Monday for working to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, just weeks after Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted him on federal charges for his efforts to subvert the democratic process nationwide.It all seems pretty damning, but the wily former president has an ace up his sleeve: He’s going to simply prove the election was rigged and convince Willis and Smith to drop the charges.
“A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump announced Tuesday morning on Truth Social.
The post came hours after Trump railed late at night against “an out of control and very corrupt” Willis.
Willis didn’t indict Trump two-and-a-half years ago because an investigation this sprawling takes a long time to actually complete.
It must take just as long to complete such a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT,” one that must be chock-full of new information all of the other investigative bodies who worked to uncover proof of fraud were unable to obtain.
Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn't grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it's the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.
Deadline is Friday the 25th, so he has 4 days after his announcement until the surrender deadline.
Oh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.
Well, it IS for 19 people... not just Trump.
