There are two grand juries formed for criminal prosecutiion of Trump in Georgia.
Near as we can tell, it looks like one is about Trump's extortion call to GA election officials. But the other is "conspiracy". As @cubby will hopefully back me up, lawyers have some leeway when representing clients, they cannot commit a crime on their client's behalf. If you order your lawyer to commit perjury, and they do, that's conspiracy.
Georgia prosecutors have brought on John Floyd, a RICO expert.
Of course, it's not just Georgia. But while Trump is already looking at trouble from his taxes, his shady business practices, and all those loans coming due he can't pay, being actually thrown in jail for extortion is a different matter. Oh, and if NYState tells the judge/jury "we wanted to depose Trump, but he's already in a maximum security prison for extortion and lying under oath" that's honestly probably even better.
And just so we're clear: Trump was crashing weddings in the last couple of days, just to spew the same toxic lie that he won the election. This isn't one thing he said offhand that was misinterpreted. This is an ongoing, systemic issue. And he's spoon-feeding evidence to the grand jury.
Yo...YO. There's a contact page for scheduling Trump to show up at birthday parties and weddings - https://www.45office.com/info/scheduling-request
You can literally book the clown for clown shows now. Internet, do your thing.
Breccia is entirely correct here - as an attorney if your client asks you to do something, and that request is illegal, the attorney does it - they cross the line into criminality and become what we loving call co-conspirators. Cohen is a prime example of this. What's especially important is that when an attorney crosses that line, the attorney-client privilege is shattered - and all activity of that attorney with that client is discoverable (i.e. open for review by prosecutors).
Fan-fucking-tastic. If they get RICO moving on the Georgia Trump felonies, we might see several people corralled into criminal prosecution, AND that might lead to people flipping on Trump. (reminder: RICO means that once one person is charged, anyone associated with the activity can be charged).
Probably THRILLED! Can you imagine how many people having weddings with tuxedo t-shirts and camo/Bud Light wedding dresses in the back of someone's shed he'll be invited to?! How many, "Baby's first gun" parties they'll ask him to attend to gift their baby their first gun? I mean, come on, NOW EVERY MAGA FAITHFUL HAS THE CHANCE TO HAVE HIM ATTEND ONE OF THEIR EVENTS IN PERSON!
But real, it's weird that a former president would just have like, a "contact me" page. Wonder when he's gonna spin up his OnlyKlans.
