The Flagrantly Unconstitutional Indictment of Donald Trump in Georgia
August 19, 2023 9:22am
I read the entire 98 page indictment of Donald Trump and associates issued by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The charges against him are entirely political and are one hundred percent unconstitutional. Of the 161 acts the prosecutor lists in her indictments as felonious, Donald Trump is accused of committing 43. That's about 25%.
This is the summary of his so-called offenses:
12 were tweets.
2 were nationally televised public speeches (one was on November 4th, and the other was the January 6th speech at the Ellipse in Washington).
1 was an official statement released by the Trump Campaign.
9 were meetings or telephone conversations that occurred somewhere outside Georgia's borders and that had absolutely nothing to do with Georgia.
12 were meetings or telephone conversations that occurred somewhere outside Georgia's borders but did pertain to Georgia.
6 were meetings or telephone conversations that occurred somewhere outside Georgia's borders in which no state was specified in the indictment.
One of Trump's alleged felonies was for the "crime" of meeting in the Oval Office with officials from the Pennsylvania legislature to discuss possible Pennsylvania actions; something that had absolutely nothing to do with Georgia!
Trump's only so-called "offense" that does not meet one of those parameters was Act #108, which was a court filing in Atlanta contesting Georgia's election results. Willis wants Trump sent to prison for exercising his First Amendment Right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Seriously. Every single charge against Trump in her indictment is specious, unconstitutional, and should be dismissed by the Court before going to trial.
So to summarize, EVERY allegation against Donald Trump is for something that is a CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT guaranteed by the First Amendment. Some of Willis' listed acts do allege actual crimes by some Trump associates. Those may survive judicial scrutiny and be sent to a jury. But almost all are certainly not crimes, and all are definitely politically-motivated charges intended solely to destroy Trump's chance of getting elected in 2024.
Every single act the indictment says Donald Trump did was a completely legal act. But taken together, Willis claims, they constituted overt acts in furtherance of a conspiracy. In simple terms, Donald Trump committed no criminal acts at all. But together, they were all criminal. Yeah, that really is the best summation of the 98 page indictment. Don't believe me? Go read it yourself. Because the fake news sure as hell ain't gonna tell you that truth.
Any convictions of Trump in this case will certainly be thrown out by an appellate court. But that will happen long after Donald Trump loses the 2024 election. The Democrats' weaponization of government against Donald Trump is disgusting. And dangerous. That the DemonRats are celebrating the indictment shows just how evil and un-American they are.
I reviewed the charges on my radio show today. It is now archived online as a podcast at www.TheMikeBatesShow.com/podcasts/230819
If you only have time to listen to one of the four segments, listen to segment 3. But unless you're a partisan hater, be prepared to get angry. Because the unjust weaponization of government against Donald Trump is far worse than you know.
And remember, I do not want Trump back in The White House. So what I said is not pro-Trump. What I said is pro-America. Because if the Democrats can get away with unconstitutionally destroying Donald Trump, they will get away with destroying the United States as a free, constitutional Republic.
