🚨BREAKING: Prosecutors informed 16 Trump supporters who formed an FAKE slate of 2020 electors from #Georgia that they may face CRIMINAL charges, underscoring the risk of criminal charges that Trump and his cronies may face.

The target letters—signaling imminent CRIMINAL charges of Trump’s cronies—were sent by #Georgia’s Fulton County DA @FaniWillisForDA.

And she’s not done yet.😎

#sedition

🔥“This is a sign of a dramatic acceleration of her work,” as prosecutors typically work their way “up the food chain, so usually the first wave of target letters is not the last.” ~@NormOrnstein special counsel to the @HouseJudiciary Committee during the 1st Trump #impeachment.

A special grand jury is probing multiple potential CRIMES, including a slate of 16 FAKE pro-Trump electors in an attempt to flip @JoeBiden’s win. The DA is seeking testimony from Trump’s cronies, including @RudyGiuliani and @LindseyGrahamSC.

Oooh boy.😎

Trump risks #indictment for violating straightforward #Georgia CRIMINAL statutes, such as solicitation to commit election #fraud—notably his phone calls to Georgia officials like @GaSecofState Raffensperger whom he pressured “to find 11,780 votes”—the EXACT # to flip the vote.💥

🔥A 114-page @BrookingsInst analysis of the case, co-authored by @NormEisen, found Trump “at substantial risk of possible state charges predicated on multiple crimes.”

If his 16 co-conspirator FAKE electors are rolled up in CRIMINAL charges—BIG TROUBLE😎

🔥In court filings, DA Willis has indicated that a number of other charges are being considered, including #RICO & #conspiracy, which could NAIL a ton of Trump cronies. She’s also weighing a #subpoena of Trump to seek his testimony.

DO IT!!!💥

#SubpoenaTrump

Two FAKE electors already have been ID’d as targets of DA Willis’s CRIMINAL investigation: David Shafer—a Trump ally who chairs Georgia’s @GOP—and @burtjonesforga, a #Georgia state lawmaker running for lieutenant governor.

No surprise, they’re trying to avoid testifying.🙄

“It’s bizarre. They’re arguing their case now, even though none of their clients have been indicted. The purpose…appears to be to ask a judge to decide in advance of a grand jury decision that a grand jury can’t even indict them.” professor Clark Cunningham, at @GeorgiaStateU.

🔥Last week, Democratic candidate for #Georgia Lieutenant Governor @charlie4georgia accused Jones of being “anti-American and unpatriotic” for taking part in a “failed attempted overthrow of the American government.”

EXACTLY!💥

🔥@NormOrnstein—DA Willis “made clear that she has a sharp eye on Trump,” adding that there were indications “that this first salvo of target letters will be followed by additional possible targets, culminating in the former president himself.”

LET’S GOOOOOO!
