@angiebaby@peteriskrisjanis@GGMcBG@GottaLaff The lack of addressing the removal of the voting rights act made me lose faith. Directly after a coup attempt based around ridiculous cheating claims, while watching SCOTUS play partisan with gerrymandering, and watching states that were removed from watch lists immediately jump in to racist bullshit. Pretending that voting rights was a partisan interference is the dumbest thing ever. If a party I'd against voting, then yes, be against them.
The #Fulton County District Attorney’s Office says it's appealing Judge Scott McAfee's order that dismissed six counts from the 2020 election interference indictment — including three of #Trump's charges. #Georgia#legal
Also last night: incumbent Cobb DA Flynn Broady was defeated by Sonya Allen, one of #FaniWillis’ deputies in the #Fulton DA’s office. Willis had cut an ad for Allen ahead of Election Day #Georgia
Two of the highest-profile candidates on the ballot: the judge and lead prosecutor in the #Fulton election interference case. Judge Scott McAfee is asking voters for a full, four year term on the bench, while DA #FaniWillis wants a second term #Georgia
BREAKING: Bank records show that special prosecutor Nathan Wade purchased airline tickets in his and #Fulton County DA #FaniWillis’ name for trips to San Francisco and Miami
The info was contained in Nathan Wade's credit card statements, which were incl in a filing from his wife on Fri as part of their divorce case.
The filing appears to bolster allegations of a romantic relationship between Nathan Wade and DA Willis #legal#Georgia#TrumpIndictment
Why we care: If proven true, the allegations could upend the election interference case. The accuser, Mike Roman, is arguing that Willis has a conflict and that the charges against him should be dropped. He's also seeking for Willis, her office to be removed from the broader case
It's the appearance, not whether it is or isn't. A reasonable person would question whether he was hired for skills or b/c of his relationship with her. Worse, he spends said money on her.
We demand SCOTUS recuse for possible conflicts like this... They don't but should. This isn't much if at all different.
JOHN #EASTMAN just appeared on 5th fl of #Fulton Cty courthouse ahead of procedural hearing before Judge McAfee. Most of today's motions are from codefendant #HarrisonFloyd
As far as I can remember this is 1st time we've seen Eastman in Fulton since his surrender at cty jail in Aug
On the agenda: request from Team #Trump to compel prosecutors to hand over correspondence with the Jan. 6 cmte chair; motion from defendant Kutti's lawyers to drop her as a client; request from #Giuliani to interview the 4 defendants who took pleas; outstanding RICO issues #TrumpIndictment#legal
Just in: #Fulton Judge McAfee is granting #Trump defendant Shawn Still's request for a stay from "all aspects of the case" until April 18, a few weeks after the legislative session ends. Still, who was charged for his role as a Trump elector, is a state senator #Georgia#TrumpIndictment#legal
In #Fulton County, Judge Scott McAfee denies several motions filed by #Trump co-defendant #HarrisonFloyd. According to McAfee, the motions are overly broad, vague, or lack specificity.
Don’t judge the lawyers too harshly. These are boilerplate motions that routinely filed in #Georgia state-level criminal court cases. The attorneys think they’re preserving appellate rights by filing them.
New: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a criminal referral against #Fulton DA #FaniWillis and her staff with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and AG Chris Carr. It cites the bombshell allegations from Monday's court filing from defendant Mike Roman
Worth reiterating that we haven't seen evidence yet backing up Roman's claims, nor have we heard from DA Willis, who says she'll respond in an upcoming court filing. #legal#Georgia#TrumpIndictment
The flurry of pretrial motions has officially begun ahead of Monday's deadline for all but a handful of the remaining 15 defendants in #Fulton.
Defendant Shawn Still, a state senator who was indicted for his role as a #Trump elector, is opposing DA #FaniWillis' proposed Aug. 5 start date. He says it's unfair to start a trial in the heat of his re-election campaign. #legal#TrumpIndictment#Georgia
In that vein, Still is also asking the court to stay all aspects of his case until three weeks after the conclusion of the legislative session (until April 18), given his role as a state senator
Fulton election interference defendant Harrison Floyd is asking for a change in venue to Coffee County, Ga. He contends a fair and impartial jury cannot be selected in Fulton because of "media coverage, negative governmental press conferences" + biases of would-be jurors
@GottaLaff Isn't it interesting how all these fucking assholes....er...people...intended to remove my personal singular vote, and yet, they feel that our disagreement with that activity which they engaged in by their own free will, and using our laws, constitution and courts to obtain justice for the attempt at the theft of my personal rights...they take that personally. Interesting.
