Mary Trump & Hillary Clinton win for best responses to Donald Trump being indicted again… again… again
Donald Trump has been indicted again… again… again. This time by a grand jury in Georgia, which charged the ex-president, along with 18 other defendants, with felony racketeering and numerous conspiracy charges in a 98-page, 41-count indictment issued late last night after a nearly two-year investigation into his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the Peach State.Per AP:Donald Trump and 18 allies were indicted in Georgia on Monday over their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state, with prosecutors using a statute normally associated with mobsters to accuse the former president, lawyers and other aides of a “criminal enterprise” to keep him in power.The nearly 100-page indictment details dozens of acts by Trump or his allies to undo his defeat, including beseeching Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to find enough votes for him to win the battleground state; harassing an election worker who faced false claims of fraud; and attempting to persuade Georgia lawmakers to ignore the will of voters and appoint a new slate of electoral college electors favorable to Trump.Fulton County DA Fani Willis charged Trump and his henchmen under the state’s mafia-busting Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, which is often used to take down organized crime groups, Ponzi and embezzlement schemes, and public corruption cases.Per NYT:It’s a powerful law enforcement tool.
