Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis has some formidable hurdles to clear in her quest to convict Donald Trump for interfering in Georgia’s 2020 election. She plans to indict the former President in the Atlanta courthouse in August. Ms. Willis has put together a list of Georgia-state election crimes to charge him with. Among those, Ga. Code Ann. § 21-2-603 — “conspiracy to commit election fraud.” If all goes well, she will add racketeering to the list; based on something to do with Trump’s collusion with “fake electors.”
The first hurdle Willis must confront is of her own making. She will enter the courtroom with the assumption that President Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” are false; and have proven to be “baseless.” She treats this assumption as if it were universally accepted fact: Trump is lying
Trump’s “big lie” is fundamental to her case. To support her premise, she may cite the dozens of judges who have tossed the Trump legal team’s lawsuits from their courts, seeing no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election. She is not so likely to draw the court’s attention to the fact that millions of Americans, who are not judges, have seen a plethora of evidence that amounts to nothing short of a calculated coup d’état, coordinated across several states. Such evidence ranges from expert analysis to published graphs showing impossible spikes in Biden votes in three battleground states: Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia. These fantastic vote spikes were logged in the wee hours of election night when, according to reports, no observers were present, as would be required by law. As J.R. Dunn has stated, “The prosecution is going to have a very hard time stating a case without allowing in evidence that they desperately don’t want anyone to hear.”
Perhaps the most compelling evidence comes from testimony, given under penalty of perjury, from hundreds of Americans who witnessed illegal activity at the polls during this election. Perjury carries up to a ten-year prison term along with a hefty fine. So, the chances of these people bearing false witness is extremely unlikely. We have such witness testimony across the several contested states, including Michigan and Arizona. Though, perhaps the state where this witness testimony is most succinctly documented and most readily accessible is the state of Georgia. This is the first hurdle Willis will need to contend with.
