Fanni Willis says indictments coming this summer

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Monday said she would announce this summer whether former President Donald Trump and his allies would be charged with crimes related to alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 election.

Willis revealed the timetable in a letter to local law enforcement in which she asked them to be ready for “heightened security and preparedness” because she predicted her announcement “may provoke a significant public reaction.”

In the letters, Willis said she will announce possible criminal indictments between July 11 and Sept. 1, sending one of the strongest signals yet that she’s on the verge of trying to obtain an indictment against Trump and his supporters.

“Please accept this correspondence as notice to allow you sufficient time to prepare the Sheriff’s Office and coordinate with local, state and federal agencies to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public,” Willis wrote to Fulton Sheriff Patrick Labat.

Similar letters were hand delivered to Darin Schierbaum, Atlanta’s chief of police, and Matthew Kallmyer, director of the Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency.

“We have seen in recent years that some may go outside of public expressions of opinion that are protected by the First Amendment to engage in acts of violence that will endanger the safety of those we are sworn to protect,” Willis wrote. “As leaders, it is incumbent upon us to prepare.”

Trump has called for mass demonstrations in response to overreach from prosecutors — triggering concerns about violent unrest not unlike the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection he promoted.

Several legal observers closely following the Fulton investigation, which Willis launched more than two years ago, said the letters suggest that Willis will seek charges against the former president.

“It obviously seems to imply the case against Trump will be presented to a grand jury,” former Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said. “I don’t think any of the other targets would raise that level of caution. I think that’s the obvious implication.”

Of course cons are against applying justice to other cons, always. In every case.

BTW, someone somewhere said the law they passed SOLELY so they could fire Fani and other Democrats, is it NOT in force until next year??? That would be great news if true.
I sigh in your general direction.

How about we wait to see what the charges are instead of deciding them proper and he guilty like you and your favorite president Mao would do.

You’re the one that’s attacked her from the beginning and you don’t think she should uphold the laws of her jurisdiction.

She definitely is and at the end of the day her stepping out of her lane will come back to bite us all in the ass.
Just remember when some prosecutor from some county somewhere charges a democrat you have to support them.

You mean like the way we believed the democratic party lie that Hunter's laptop was a Russian black op. Orvhow we ignore that Hunter committed a crime when he lied on his gun permit.

I do not support Trump and I know he lies.
I also know that Biden constantly lies and I don't see you admitting that he lies.

So how about that uncle getting the purple heart story are you ever going to explain or comment on that.
Trump is a liar and never qualified to be president.
Biden is a liar and not qualified to be president
Harris is as dumb as a rock and not qualified to be president
Pence is a religious zealot and not qualified to be president
See that is what you call being honest and not partisan

Although many see this a proof that Trump and/or some of his allies will be indicted there is nothing in the letter to indict this. This is a high profile case and whatever the outcome one side will not be happy and they could pose a threat to public safety if they decide to violently demonstrate.

Personally, I think someone will be indicted but who I don't know. Willis has plenty of evidence and it will be the decision of the grand jury as to whether they think a crime(s) was committed.

Again trying to normalize Trump. Yeah, Trump's just like every other President, right?

All politicians embellish. That's what Biden was doing.

But Trump is on another level than any President in history. That's what you deny. You try to normalize Trump. Always.

You cheered and voted for Romney for President. He lies all the time too. Here's a list of just a few of them. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/l ... itt-romney

So why was it okay for Romney to lie?

Update on this

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/19/us/t ... illis.html


The Georgia prosecutor leading an investigation into former President Donald J. Trump and his allies has taken the unusual step of announcing remote work days for most of her staff during the first three weeks of August, asking judges in a downtown Atlanta courthouse not to schedule trials for part of that time as she prepares to bring charges in the inquiry.

The moves suggest that Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, is expecting a grand jury to unseal indictments during that time period. Ms. Willis outlined the remote work plan and made the request to judges in a letter sent on Thursday to 21 Fulton County officials, including the chief county judge, Ural Glanville, and the sheriff, Pat Labat.
