Georgia indictments

Thorough, precise and inclusive it is handed down by a jury of peers and prepared by a highly qualified prosecutor.

The American people need to realize this is not a campaign stop, but, a serious attack against the USA Constitution by the former president and his political allies as well an attempt to remove the very basis of democracy; integrity of one person, one vote.

I thank all the people involved in bringing this case to the Georgia Grand Jury. The country is indebted to all involved for their dedication to justice and the rule of law.

I remember testimony to the USA Congress years ago by Michael Cohen completely unrelated to this Grand Jury indictment whereby he stated Donald Trump would never leave the White House even if defeated in an election. It was an odd statement in foretelling Trump’s intentions, but, stood out as a warning to an agenda. The country mostly dismissed the statement, but, how did Michael Cohen know what lay ahead for us?

The statement by Cohen was exactly correct. After the defeat of Trump by the current President Biden, thousands upon thousands stormed the USA Capitol to destroy our constitution with acts of violence including the building of gallows. Trump assailed his security team because he wanted to be in that crowd. The evidence along the way in now four indictments outweighs the cries of any of the defendants.

Trump’s candidacy isn’t and hasn’t been interested in what is best for the country, it is about his own agenda to harness power for his own purposes. He definitely wants to defeat democracy. That focus and his ability to attract violence and sensationalism has enemies of the USA lining up to defeat the democracy. Trump is a perversion of freedom, not its best example.
