#15 Donald Trump Georgia Indictment Deep Dive!

My Wonkette colleague Jamie Lynn Crofts joins me to discuss Donald Trump’s mounting indictment collection. It’s gonna be wild! Jamie does policy work in Wisconsin and is going to help walk me through the many, many, many indictments of former president, Donald Trump, beginning with the most recent as of this recording, regarding attempts to overthrow the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.

We will discuss:

• Why this case is not a Free Speech infringement
• How RICO cases can work based on the conspiracy, even if the individual parts of that conspiracy aren’t themselves illegal
• Jamie discusses her concerns and (correct) predictions that Trump would attempt to stay in office whether he won or not using the guise of “voter fraud” before the election results were even announced
• Is the former president even mentally capable of accepting defeat or understanding what he’s doing isn’t the way things are done?
• How the precedent of prosecuting political leaders who have broken the law should defer people from trying this again in the future
• Why the Georgia cases at the state level are so important to keep Trump, should he be elected again, from pardoning himself on all convictions
• And more!
