lol. The last #Trump#Georgia#criminal#RICO defense argument was that charges should be dismissed because the term #FakeElectors was a legal conclusion & disparaging.
DA prosecutor got up for his turn & started by saying, “the words ‘fake electors’ do not exist anywhere in the indictment.”
The #Georgia DA prosecutor went on to argue that case #law & GA statutory law supported the use of characterizations in indictments.
Another great line from the DA atty Will Wooten was that all indictments include #legal conclusions, that’s what indictments are.
If indictments aren’t allowed to have legal conclusions, then I guess we can’t have indictments anymore.
Replying to @bluestein
Wise Smith indicates he will be waiting the outcome of Judge McAfee’s decision on disqualifying Fani Willis from the Trump case before deciding how vigorously to pursue his challenge against her.
Hello from Fulton Judge #McAfee's courtroom, where former Black Voices for Trump head #HarrisonFloyd is pushing to uphold subpoenas he sent to 3 state & local agencies 🧵 1/… #legal#TrumpIndictment#Georgia
Floyd's legal strategy is unique…plans to present evidence that Trump actually won Ga in 2020 – or that there was enough evidence on Jan 4, 2021, when Floyd spoke w Fulton poll worker Ruby Freeman, that his beliefs were not unreasonable, hence no mal intent
Floyd's team has subpoenaed mountains of evidence from the Secretary of State's office, Fulton clerk and board of elections. They say they will prove that tens of thousands of votes should have been excluded from Fulton's vote tally due to “pervasive and systematic failures"
The agencies want to quash the subpoenas. In court filings they've called Floyd's requests “vague," “unreasonable" and, per the Secretary of State's office, a "fishing expedition."
@GottaLaff If you think about it, this is pretty hysterical. Here’s my alternate headline: “Local backbencher aims to prove what hundreds of highly funded big firm lawyers and investigators could not”. Rotsa Ruck, fella.
