Georgia grand jury recommends perjury indictments in Trump election meddling probe
A Georgia grand jury looking into possible election meddling by former President Donald Trump said “one or more witnesses” may have lied under oath and urged prosecutors to pursue criminal indictments in those cases.
The special grand jury also found no significant fraud in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election won by President Joe Biden, according to portions of the final report on its monthslong investigation unsealed Thursday.
I'm still just sitting here wondering why Trump is not only not in prison but running again in 2024 after calling and asking the GA Secretary of State to just "find" enough votes for him to win. I mean if that wasn't a crime, it should be. We should be passing laws right now to make that a crime. How is anyone okay with this bullshit?
What is hidden is likely a bombshell not only for Trump but his 'associates' that testified, most of them unwilling. Don't forget that Lindsey Graham went all the way to the Supreme Court to try and get out of it, that was for a 'reason'. Rudy is definitely in the mix here too.
“The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling,” the report said.
Trump Grand Jury Recommends Perjury Indictments
A panel investigating Former President Donald Trump in Georgia said some witnesses may have lied under oath.
The special purpose grand jury also recommended the local Georgia prosecutor bring criminal charges if those lies can be proved, according to portions of the panel’s final report that were released on Thursday.
What's a bit of perjury among friends trying to illegally overturn the results of an election?
Really only two new pieces of information:
- Perjury charges are recommended against individual(s).
- The special grand jury unanimously established no widespread fraud in the election.
The crucial part of the report we still have no information on is:
Who has been recommended for charges, and for what.
Perjury will not be the only indictments the DA will seek.
Fani Willis essentially affirmed two weeks ago that "serious" charges would be pursued "imminently" against multiple people when she contested the release of the report to protect the integrity of "future defendants."
She must now seek any charges at a regularly impaneled grand jury, and this might already be happening. In Georgia, these run in two-month stints. Because of defendants' rights to a "speedy trial" there is sort of a procedural roadblock where the DA may have to wait until the next grand jury is seated in March to seek charges.
Seems kinda like lazy journalism that most of these articles don't link to the report itself, it's only 9 pages, and as legal documents go, pretty easy reading:
