But, hey, remember, this is all about the legal justice system, which is blind, right?
Georgia Trump indictment invokes justice for election workers
Sprinkled throughout the sweeping Georgia indictment covering every aspect of former President Trump’s effort to overturn the state’s 2020 election are references to one woman: poll worker Ruby Freeman.
The Fulton County election staffer was helping count ballots in the state when she was singled out by Trump and his then-attorney Rudy Giuliani and accused of mishandling ballots, sparking a wave of threats against Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss.
Freeman’s name appears some 40 times in the indictment, a detail Gwen Keyes Fleming, a former district attorney (DA) in Georgia, said reflects that there are “actual identifiable victims that the DA’s office is sworn to protect,” in addition to the voters in the state whose will Trump sought to deny.
“This indictment is an attempt to also recognize the alleged individual victimization of a poll worker who was simply trying to be of service to her county,” Keyes Fleming said.
Well, DA Fani Willis better hope the Trump team doesn’t have any damaging information on Freeman
Freeman spoke to investigators from the House committee reviewing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, recounting how she and her daughter, another former election worker, faced a harassment campaign following the accusations.
“Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” Freeman asked in her deposition, which aired during one of the committee’s public hearings. “The president of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one.”
What did she have to do with J6? Further, Obama and Biden have made it quite clear they did not/do not represent every American, just the ones that agree with them.
Let’s be honest, though: this insane indictment against Trump will never go to trial. It’s way too insane, it violates multiple Georgia and US Constitutional provisions, it contains hundreds of thousands of pages, which certainly will see Trump’s council unable to go through all of it. A judge may well quash it before it starts as an over-reach and a partisan political witchhunt. It’s really meant to jam up Trump and his legal team, make him spend money on this instead of his campaign, make it difficult to campaign, and put you citizens who do not agree with Democrats on notice that you could be next. It’s lawfare. When do all the Democrats who complained about elections get prosecuted?

‘Dr. King Is Smiling’: Atlanta Takes Center Stage in the Political Trial of the Century
Here, at the Fulton County Courthouse, smack dab in downtown Atlanta, the vibe is decidedly hushed. In the coming months, this 112-year-old courthouse will be aswarm with activity — ground zero in the battle over democracy — when 19 defendants, including a former president, will stand trial for allegedly trying to overturn an election. But that legal reckoning is many months away. Right now, the only evidence of what’s to come are the barricades stretching up and down the block and a battalion of TV trucks camped out across the street, waiting. There is the sense of life put on pause, an anxious sort of calm before the judicial storm.
I’m here, having hopped on a plane from DC, traveling to my hometown to see how the ATL is handling being the site of what is likely to be the political trial of the century. I spent my adolescence here, and I’ve got deep, Old School, Old Guard, Black Atlanta roots. But having absconded from the city many years ago, I’m always amazed at how my once sleepy Southern burg has morphed into the Hollywood of the South, a sprawling metropolis — accounting for nearly half the population of the entire state of Georgia — complete with movie studios, record labels, tech startups and traffic. Lots and lots and lots of traffic.
Back in the day, Atlanta was the cradle of the civil rights movement, home to activist icons like Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Sr., Julian Bond, Rep. John Lewis and C.T. Vivian, a hub of Black exceptionalism. That’s a history the city wears consciously, as evidenced here by the plethora of murals, museums and streets — some named after the parents and grandparents of kids I grew up with. And now Atlanta, the so-called Black Mecca, is the epicenter of a fight over the peaceful transfer of power. As I tool around Atlanta, I encounter Atlantans who are very conscious of the significance of this trial — and of how, once again, their city will play an important role in making American history.
Huh what? How did they make a jump to something racial? Some people can never move past their racial beliefs, it’s their whole identity. Perhaps they should wonder why so many non-blacks have moved out of Atlanta into the suburbs, and why Atlanta has a pretty poor crime rate. The article is just full of racialism, very, very silly.
