And I surely do hope that some high school kid in a History class 100 years from now is able to say, "Wow, we sure dodged a bullet back then."

Fulton County Grand Jury Voted to Indict an Insane List of Republican Targets

Georgia Judge Robert McBurney ordered the full Fulton County grand jury report to be published on Friday morning and it reveals that the panel wanted to indict even more individuals than ultimately found themselves dragged into the case alongside former President Donald Trump.

As we already knew, the grand jury handed up indictments against Trump and 18 of his associates including Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and Kenneth Chesebro in the late night hours of August 14.

But, according to the now-released grand jury report originally dated December 15, 2022, there were additional individuals the panel recommended indictments against. In all, the report shows that indictments were suggested against 21 other individuals against whom charges were not ultimately pursued by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Among the individuals the grand jury wanted to add to its laundry list of indictment individuals are U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), attorneys Cleta Mitchell and Boris Epshteyn, former U.S. Senators for Georgia David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, and the full slate of "alternate electors."

Jan 6 Prisoner Says He Was Jailed for 22 Years after Refusing Biden DOJ’s Demand to Lie about Trump

https://slaynews.com/news/jan-...oj-demand-lie-trump/

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio says he received a staggering 22-year prison sentence in his Jan. 6 case because he refused to agree to demands from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to lie about President Donald Trump.

According to Tarrio, Democrat President Joe Biden’s DOJ demanded that he give a false statement linking Trump to Jan. 6 in exchange for a reduced sentence.

However, when Tarrio refused to take the deal, the court threw the book at him.

Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the protests in Washington D.C., despite the fact that he wasn’t even at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“They asked me to LIE about President Trump in order to indict him,” Enrique Tarrio said.

“I told them to pound sand, and because I refused to lie about President Trump it cost me twenty-two years of my life.”

“The truth is, I could have been home,” said Tarrio.

“I could have been home a long time ago.

“I could be in my warm ass bed right now, laughing at the world, without a problem…and all I had to do in order to do that WAS LIE ABOUT TRUMP.

“All I had to do was confirm a lie.”

The now-convicted Jan. 6 defendant then averred that the DOJ was trying to orchestrate a case tying Trump to the events at the Capitol with false testimony.

He added that DOJ prosecutors attempted to coerce him into signing a false statement that would implicate Trump.

The statement, he revealed, would have seen him going on the record by swearing that “through several degrees of separation and connections, Tarrio had communicated with Trump regarding ‘plans’ for January 6th.”

On Friday night, Tarrio repeated his accusations against the Biden admin during a “Twitter Space.”

He disclosed the names of two Biden officials who were in the meeting where he was pressured to lie about Trump.

During that meeting, Tarrio says federal agents told him to sign a sworn statement to falsely claim that Trump helped to orchestrate Jan. 6.

Tarrio revealed that DOJ Lead Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason McCullough both attended the meeting.

Ballantine previously served as a DOJ attorney assigned to General Michael Flynn’s prosecution.

The DOJ previously admitted to tampering with evidence in Flynn’s case.

The evidence tampering revelations led to the eventual dismissal of charges against Flynn.

During a separate DOJ inquiry into disgraced former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe, Ballantine also faced allegations of dishonesty.

Notably, she continues to hold a prominent position in Biden’s weaponized DOJ.

Attorney Jason McCullough recently implored jurors to find the Proud Boys guilty of seditious conspiracy.

Tarrio provided the names for further investigation.

However, he says there still needs to be “smoking gun” evidence provided to the public in order to prove his allegations.

Well I made the mistake of mentioning media bias against Trump on an international forum which got the libs there lathered up. Here's one reply.

"He cheated on (one of) his wive with a porn star. He has been found liable for sexual assault, as well as admitting on tape that he can't help kissing beautiful women and that he grabbed them by the genitals.
He lambasted Obama for playing too much golf and then spent more time playing golf. He said that anyone who pleads the fifth amendment is guilty and hiding it yet used that defence repeatedly. He criticises Hunter and Joe Biden's relationship and yet put Jared Kushner and his daughter into front line roles in the White House - who then promptly got billions from the Saudi government.
All of this is public record - no media spin on these points."

Beyond hope.

Where is the money coming from?


Fani Willis bankrolls private attorney for Trump prosecution: 'Certainly unorthodox'

https://www.washingtonexaminer...pays-outside-counsel

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has paid massive sums to private sector attorneys for their services, and a portion of those relate to investigating and prosecuting former President Donald Trump, according to county records.

Nathan Wade, Willis’s lead prosecutor in the case, has raked in more than half a million dollars from the Fulton County District Attorney's Office from January 2022 to August 2023, according to a payment history.

Christopher Campbell, Wade's colleague at Wade & Campbell Firm, has been paid $116,670 from April 2021 to August 2023, the same records show.

Terrence Bradley, a former colleague of Wade's, was paid $74,480 from May 2021 to June 2022, according to the records.

Wade, a defense attorney who can bill by the hour, was hand-picked by Willis roughly two years ago to serve as special prosecutor in the Trump case. Wade is a former Cobb County judge who ran for Cobb County Superior Court and was defeated in 2012, 2014, and 2016. Willis chose Wade over career prosecutors who work on salaries, and while the legalities of that have not been questioned at this stage, some, like Phil Holloway, an Atlanta-based attorney for more than two decades, have found the use of Wade to be "unorthodox.

"It’s certainly unorthodox and appears to be a cash cow for any lawyer paid by the hour," Holloway said. "I’ve been practicing criminal law in Georgia for 24 years, and I’ve never seen such an arrangement."

Willis, who began investigating Trump in February 2021, indicted the former president and 18 co-defendants last month on racketeering charges, alleging they had conspired to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

One of the co-defendants, former Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer, highlighted in a court filing on Thursday the hefty payments to private prosecutors, asking for Judge Scott McAfee to schedule a hearing "regarding improper contact by special prosecutor's law firm."

Shafer included in the filing an advertisement he had received from Wade's firm soliciting clients who needed help with criminal defense needs, including "impersonating a public officer," a charge leveled against Shafer.

The advertisement, while sent in the form of a standard mailer, presented an awkward scenario where a private attorney was offering defense services to a person he was prosecuting.

Shafer's attorney in the court filing said it also violated an "anti-contact" rule, noting that "the harassing, or mocking and intimidating nature of the firm’s communication with Mr. Shafer causes grave injury to the appearance of fairness and propriety of this proceeding."

Aside from the issue of the advertisement, Holloway observed that Wade could skirt the typical obligations of public servants while working as outsourced counsel.

"For starters, it avoids the statutory requirements for the appointment of assistant district attorneys, who are paid a fixed salary, and also avoids the administration of an oath of office," Holloway said. "The oath of office is intended to protect the public from malfeasance by public officials and carries a criminal penalty if violated."

The use of Wade could also impact morale in Willis's office because in-house staff could feel that Willis finds them "incapable," Holloway warned.

Willis’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story.

Georgia-based defense attorney Andrew Fleischman has also brought attention to the cost of Wade and his firm, writing on social media about how the exorbitant payments have been made "to a dude who has never tried a RICO case."

Fleischman indicated in another social media statement that he found the payments to Wade "troubling," particularly in light of what he described as the "massive backlog of cases" at the district attorney's office.

A person familiar with the Fulton County district attorney's office told the Washington Examiner he believed the payments to Wade and the others were not "getting the play that it should" in the media.

"Why is someone who is already on the government payroll not handling this?" he asked of the Trump case.

The person, who otherwise spoke highly of Willis and called her "smart as hell," said the use of Wade "doesn't feel right" and that "these are the taxpayers footing this. It's very strange."

Willis brought Wade on only “after several candidates turned her down,” according to the New York Times. The outlet did not specify which candidates Willis had attempted to bring on, noting that Wade was an "old friend" of Willis's.

Wade also "mentored [Willis] when she briefly served as chief magistrate judge in South Fulton," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Wade's office did not respond to a request for comment.

Freaking braying jackass. You're not going to do anything unless you want to get bounced off of the floor by the Secret Service. Useless, loudmouthed douchebag. You're a zero. You're dogshit on Donald Trump's shoe.

Chris Christie vows to 'follow' and 'confront' Trump if he doesn't attend debates: 'I'll find him' Christie said he's 'going to follow Trump around the country. Wherever he goes, I’ll go'

I think you are being far too kind to Christie. I have a lot more respect for a braying jackass than I do Christie.
