Of course I respond to the excerpt. That's what you are presenting as your best case that the indictments contain criminal statutes and specific actions that violate them.You are telling me..sniggers..that the Georgia indictment dos not list the charges against Trump? That it does not quote the appropriate statutes?
That it does not enumerate, in great detail, the actions that led to the charges being brought?
If so..I think you have some reading to do
A very small excerpt..please don't bother responding to the excerpt..but if you actually read the whole thing, you can see why your statement is ludicrous.
INTRODUCTION
Defendant Donald John Trump lost the United States presidential election held on
November 3, 2020. One of the states he lost was Georgia. Trump and the other Defendants
charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully
joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That
conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering
activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states
MANNER AND METHODS OF THE ENTERPRISE
The manner and methods used by the Defendants and other members and associates of
the enterprise to further the goals of the enterprise and to achieve its purposes included, but were
not limited to, the following:
1. False Statements to and Solicitation of State Legislatures
Members of the enterprise, including several of the Defendants, appeared at hearings in
Fulton County, Georgia, before members of the Georgia General Assembly on December 3,
2020, December 10, 2020, and December 30, 2020. At these hearings, members of the enterprise
made false statements concerning fraud in the November 3, 2020, presidential election. The
purpose of these false statements was to persuade Georgia legislators to reject lawfill electoral
votes cast by the duly elected and qualified presidential electors from Georgia. Members of the
enterprise corruptly solicited Georgia legislators instead to unlawfillly appoint their own
presidential electors for the purpose of casting electoral votes for Donald Trump. Members of the
enterprise also made false statements to state legislators during hearings and meetings in
Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in November and December 2020 to persuade legislators
in those states to unlawfillly appoint their own presidential electors.
2. False Statements to and Solicitation of HighRanking State Officials
Members of the enterprise, including several of the Defendants, made false statements in
Fulton County and elsewhere in the State of Georgia to Georgia officials, including the
Governor, the Secretary cf State, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Members of
the enterprise also corruptly solicited Georgia officials, including the Secretary of State and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, to violate their oaths to the Georgia Constitution and to
the United States Constitution by unlawfully changing the outcome of the November 3, 2020,
16
presidential election in Georgia in favor of Donald Trump. Members of the enterprise also made
false statements to and solicited state officials in Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania
Your excerpt falls short, and so does the rest of the indictment.
I don't see a list of the criminal statutes that any of these actions supposedly violated. In particular that criminal statute about alternate electors. If it exists, why was JFK not convicted under it?
I don't see the allegedly "false" statements, so certainly not any evidence that they were false.
It really is the "if we put 'unlawfully' in a sentence, we can get away with it" strategy.
That's fine as a strategy to indict that particular ham sandwich, but it would have to be followed up with criminal statutes and specific actions they violate.
You can just believe for the sake of believing, if you like.
