At this point, it's become difficult to keep track of all the different places that former (and possibly future) President Donald Trump has been indicted. To recap: he has been indicted in New York County by District Attorney Alvin Bragg. That case has already gone to trial and he was convicted of nearly three dozen counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up another crime. That is NOT the case we discuss today.
He's also been indicted in Fulton County, Georgia, on state RICO charges. That office appears to be in a bit of a shamble as 7 months into a different RICO trial, against Young Thug, the wheels have fallen off, 2 judges have been on-and-off the case, and a mistrial seems pretty likely at this point. This is also NOT the case covered by today's episode.
There is also the case in the Middle District of Florida Federal Court regarding Trump's possession of, and refusal to return, certain classified documents. That case was recently dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon. That is also NOT the case we are discussing.
Today's case concern's allegations that Donald Trump attempted to use various unlawful means to subvert the election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, and deprive ordinary citizens in several states of their right to make their voice heard in our government through voting.
Chances are you are at least somewhat familiar with this indictment, but do you really know what Trump is accused of doing? In this episode, Paul breaks down the indictment so you can understand what the Government has claimed Trump actually did to break the law, and Paul also discusses the recent decision on Presidential Immunity from the Supreme Court, as neither Trump, nor the Government, got the decision they wanted. But if Trump lost in that hearing, why are so many commentators losing their mind over the decision? Listen and find out.
This will be part 1, as there was a lot to cover and the case is now set to go to trial, so stay tuned as (maybe) a trial episode will be coming later on!
Hope you enjoy.
