This will be my last post of the whole Trump legal thing….that is until there is something more tangible…..
Trump has been indicted in Georgia and let us look at the numbers…..
The new indictment of Donald Trump out of Georgia is more sweeping than the previous cases against him. Here’s a by-the-numbers view:
- 1: The number of trials expected in Georgia, despite multiple defendants. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says she plans to try everyone at once, preferably in about six months, reports CBS News.
- 1.9: The new average number of felony charges per US president, according to Insider, which gets a little snarky with stats. Prior to Trump, the figure was 0.
- 4: The number of total indictments against the former president after the Georgia case.
- 8: The number of ways the Georgia defendants allegedly tried to obstruct the election, according to prosecutors in their sweeping narrative, including by creating a list of pro-Trump “alternate” electors and lying to state officials, per the New York Times.
- The number of days Trump and the others have to voluntarily turn themselves in to Georgia authorities, per the Guardian.
- 13: The number of charges Trump himself faces in Georgia.
- 19: The number of defendants named, including Trump. Others include Rudy Giuliani and former chief of staff Mark Meadows.
- 20: The number of years Trump and the other defendants could get in prison if convicted of violating the state’s RICO Act alone, a charge all of them face, per the Washington Post. Technically, Trump faces hundreds of years in jail because of the four indictments, though translating that into what might actually happen should he be convicted is, as Politico says, “complicated.” The story digs into the possibilities.
- 30: The number of unindicted co-conspirators in the Georgia case, per NBC News.
- 41: The number of counts in the Georgia indictment.
- 91: The number of felonies Trump has now been charged with in his four indictments, per Axios.
- 161: The number of separate actions laid out in the Georgia indictment that prosecutors say crossed the line into criminal conspiracy, per the AP.
- 11,780: The number of votes Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” in order to tip the election in his favor. This is one of the 161 actions cited above, though Trump has defended his call.
Those are the numbers….how far will this go?
Thoughts?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
The indictments are nothing but some kind of mental fluff designed to amuse anti-Trump people and to divert attention until he gets back into the oval office and establishes the American version of the night of the broken glass. It will begin wsith Him firing everyone in government not loyal to him and consolidating every known government entity under his thumb of power thus giving him total control.
I will wait to judge….I know deep down you may be right. chuq
He may be convicted, and I’m not confident, but he will never spend a day in jail. There will be appeal after appeal until he dies or runs out of donors stupid enough to contribute to his defense fund.
Yes he is a master at legal games. chuq
Frankly, I’m sick of hearing his name. What would the news media be talking about if they didn’t have Trump? Even the 106 lives lost on Maui are taking a backseat.
He is fodder…..chuq
I realize that, but doesn’t that give him the soapbox he so loves?
There had got to be other things going on in the world.
There is much more going on…..the media is just helping invent the news. chuq
He will drag it out with endless appeals and objections. By the time anything ever gets resolved, he might well have died of old age.
Best wishes, Pete.
Like I said previously….a master at legal games. chuq
His kind never dies.. they just change their shape and the sound of their voice.
His brazen illegal activities have made his supporters think it HAD to have been legal because no one breaks the law with such lack of respect for anything…but that is him – a cretinous con man
