Trump INDICTED AGAIN in Georgia on 13 Felony Counts, Giuliani & Sidney Powell too
Former President Donald Trump is now facing his fourth indictment, this time in Georgia, related to his alleged involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has issued a wide-ranging 99-page indictment against 19 individuals on a total of 41 counts, which include racketeering charges. The indictment details a plot involving various individuals, including well-known figures such as Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell. Charges include violation of the Georgia RICO Act, conspiracy to commit impersonation of a public officer, forgery, false statements, and much more. The indictment underscores the gravity of the alleged scheme and the potential legal consequences for Trump and his associates. The charges come as a significant step towards accountability for Trump's actions, and legal experts note that these state charges could potentially be more consequential than federal charges, as they cannot be subject to presidential pardons.
Lindsey Graham THREATENS Democrats over Trump charges
Most Republicans remain steadfast in their support for Donald Trump despite his multiple indictments, with Lindsey Graham's appearance on Fox News yesterday providing the latest example. Graham questioned the appropriateness of a county prosecutor handling the potential indictment of a former president, asserting it could harm the office of the presidency. However, this claim is nonsensical, as it’s much more important to demonstrate the impartiality of justice and that no person in the United States is above the law, no matter how powerful. Graham went on to criticize the alleged liberal bias of the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia and suggested statewide officials should handle such cases. Ultimately, the Republican stance is an obvious ploy to manipulate public sentiment and protect Trump at all costs, highlighting the need to avoid such political games and uphold justice objectively.
From yesterday’s show:
Special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden
Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed David Weiss, the US attorney in Delaware, as a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes. The decision was prompted by the dismissal of a plea deal by a judge due to concerns about its reach and possible unconstitutionality. Weiss will be granted full autonomy, resources, and a distinct budget for the investigation, highlighting the Department of Justice's commitment to fair scrutiny. While the investigations into Hunter Biden and Donald Trump differ significantly in nature and gravity, the appointment ensures both cases will remain in the public eye throughout the 2024 election season. What’s most important in this matter is to let the justice system proceed independently, with ongoing Republican inquiries into Hunter Biden's dealings running alongside the special counsel's investigation.
From yesterday’s show:
Republicans ANGRY over Hunter Biden special counsel they asked for
Many Republicans are upset over the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, even though many of these same Republicans called for this exact thing to happen weeks ago. Right-wingers, initially unhappy with the plea deal, demanded more stringent consequences for Hunter Biden's charges, with many of them calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to have someone independently look into the case. But now that this has happened, they’re changing their tune. Former President Donald Trump criticized the choice of David Weiss and advocated for a different investigator. Senator Ted Cruz, who had initially supported Weiss as special counsel, now claims the appointment is a cover-up. Trump adviser Jason Miller, after previously expressing a desire for a special counsel, now criticizes Weiss's appointment and accuses him of inaction. Senator Chuck Grassley, once in favor of Weiss as special counsel, now opposes it due to doubts about the plea deal. Former Vice President Mike Pence is one of the few consistent Republicans, supporting the appointment of Weiss. The reactions highlight the partisan games conservatives are playing on this matter and how they don’t actually care about upholding the rule of law and consistency in the justice system.

What is most disturbing is that the majority of MAGA supporters regard Trump as the Messiah. Most are barely high school graduates, and they fall into the "moron" IQ charts (which is a category that lists what makes someone a genius or a moron). In the same way that Germany saw Hitler as THEIR Messiah, the MAGA people WORSHIP Donald Trump. They aren't intelligent enough to grasp what is actually taking place. They are ignorant, and if asked, will die for him. Again, they are not the majority of Americans. They are the majority of Republicans. There is a huge difference. Don't be fooled by their rhetoric.
