The Georgia indictment against President Donald Trump cites Trump’s tweets as acts made “in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
A Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury handed down a 98-page, 41-count indictment against the 45th president.
The three-year-long investigation into Trump culminated when jurors met before handing down the indictment.
Among other charges, Trump is being charged under Georgia’s RICO statute, the same statute Willis used to bring charges against rapper Young Thug.
The RICO statute was designed to dismantle organized crime groups.
The Georgia indictment also cites 12 of Trump’s tweets, including one from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as “overt” acts made “in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
Some tweets encouraged people to watch public hearings about the allegations of voting irregularities, and some sent on January 6, 2021.
See below:
Act 22
On or about the 3rd day of December 2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump, “Georgia hearings now on @OANN. Amazing!” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
Act 32
On or about the 6th day of December 2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump, “Gee, what a surprise. Has anyone informed the so-called (says he has no power to do anything!) Governor @BrianKempGA & his puppet Lt. Governor @GeoffDuncanGA, that they could easily solve this mess, & WIN. Signature verification & call a Special Session. So easy! https://t.co/5cb4QdepU.” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
Act 128.
On or about the 5th day of January 2021, DONALD JOHN TRUMP caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump, “The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors.” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
Act 138
On or about the 6th day of January 2021, DONALD JOHN TRUMP caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump, “If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will Win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect & even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
The indictment also charges other defendants “with crimes merely for making statements that argued the 2020 election was stolen,” according to Breitbart.
“It claims that actions such as holding public hearings in Pennsylvania amounted to acts in furtherance of an illegal conspiracy.”
Trump also faces two federal charges from Special Counsel Jack Smith over his handling of White House documents and alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
‘Corrupt’ Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg also brought over 30 counts of falsifying business records against Trump.
