2020 ELECTION/GEORGIA/LEGAL: “Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis centers her case on the idea that Trump and 18 others worked together ‘knowingly and willfully’ as part of a broad conspiracy to attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

As part of this conspiracy, prosecutors claim, the 19 defendants committed a total of more than 160 individual ‘overt acts’ to further their plan. Those actions include tweets and speeches made by Trump and others, phone calls and meetings…

Trump has already claimed these charges are part of an effort to criminalize political speech and a violation of his First Amendment rights — a regular political rallying cry for the former president.”

2024 ELECTION/LEGAL: “Former President Donald Trump has ramped up his rhetoric and vowed to keep speaking out in opposition to his criminal indictments as he campaigns for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination…

Trump has targeted judges, prosecutors and potential witnesses in posts railing against his four active criminal cases, prompting some legal experts to predict that a gag order may be in Trump’s future.

But even if that doesn’t happen, his aggressive criticism could incentivize judges to bring his cases to trial more quickly. That would be a blow to Trump, who has argued that his trials should be postponed until after the November 2024 presidential election.”

As word spread that Trump was on his way, demonstrators near the main entrance on the Rice Street side of the jail lined security barricades two to three deep. There were more Trump supporters than opponents braving the intense Georgia summer heat, but both groups were outnumbered by media…

It was the fourth time this year that Trump, the early front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, was booked on criminal charges.”

2020 ELECTION/GEORGIA/LEGAL: “Former President Donald J. Trump was booked at an Atlanta jail on Thursday [August 24, 2023] in his fourth criminal arrest this year, this time in a sweeping racketeering case accusing him and his allies of conspiring to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia.

Mr. Trump flew to Atlanta in a private plane from Newark, N.J., and was whisked to the Fulton County Jail in a motorcade with a police escort, arriving at 7:35 p.m. He was then fingerprinted and photographed like other people accused of state crimes and released on bond…

Mr. Trump’s bond was set at $200,000 on Monday [August 21, 2023]… Mr. Trump was listed in the Fulton County booking system as having “blonde or strawberry” hair, a height of 6 foot 3 inches and weight of 215 pounds. That weight is 24 pounds less than the White House doctor reported Trump weighed in 2018.”

The eleven other defendants who have surrendered in the case so far — including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump’s former attorneys, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell — have all had their mug shots publicly released.

Trump later posted his mug shot to X, formerly known as Twitter, in his first post on the platform since Jan. 8, 2021. The post linked to Trump’s 2024 campaign website, where he also posted the mug shot as part of a fundraising pitch.”

2020 ELECTION: “[A] growing body of conservative scholars have raised the constitutional argument that Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election make him ineligible to hold federal office ever again.

That disqualification argument boils down to Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which says that a public official is not eligible to assume public office if they ‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion against’ the United States, or had ‘given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof,’ unless they are granted amnesty by a two-thirds vote of Congress.

Advocacy groups have long argued that Trump’s behavior after the 2020 election fits those criteria.”

GOP/LEGAL/SHUTDOWN: “Four criminal indictments of Donald Trump have ignited his followers and spurred his House Republican allies to try to use the upcoming government funding deadline of Sept. 30 as leverage to undermine the prosecutions.

The bad news for them: A government shutdown wouldn’t halt the criminal proceedings against the former president.

Trump’s indictments in New York and Georgia would not be affected, while his federal indictments — for allegedly mishandling classified documents and for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection — are criminal matters that have been exempted from shutdowns in the past…

As a result, Republicans are looking at ways to insert provisions in government funding legislation that would hinder federal and state prosecutors who have secured indictments of Trump, based on unproven claims that he’s being politically targeted.”
