hahahahahaha, Fulton County Georgia is gonna get and release mug shots on every single one of these motherfuckers, and the court cases are going to be televised, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Too bad the mugshots would just be in normal clothes, not jail uniform.
Photoshop will fix that soon enough. However, I’m not sure I’m really prepared for the flood of memes that will follow …
That’s just because nobody wants to be the one to strip search and give a cavity inspection to Trump.
I wonder how many people will actually show up? God, I want to wake up on the 25th and read an article about how there’s a manhunt out for Trump because his lawyers dragged him down to Georgia and then he ditched them after pretending he needed to piss.
They’d just need to check for him at the base of any gradual incline without a handrail.
And I just choked on my coffee. Thanks.
You’re not wrong. Lmfao.
I want to hear about how the devil went down to Georgia
Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis said late Monday that former President Donald Trump and his 18 allies who were indicted on 41 felony counts have until noon ET on Friday, Aug. 25 to turn themselves in or an arrest warrant will be issued.
Why not, you know, fucking arrest them like a normal person?
I swear the Dave Chappelle skit is just proving its accuracy at this point.
I assume this is a genuine question? This is a state-level indictment from Georgia and Mr. Trump resides in Florida. Georgia cops can’t just go on an extrajudicial joyride across state lines and grab him. That would, unfortunately, be abduction.
In cases like these where a state wants to prosecute someone residing in another jurisdiction, the process generally goes like this:
- The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
- The prosecuting state waits for this time limit to lapse
- The governor of the prosecuting state requests an extradition warrant from the governor of the indicted person’s state [1]
- If the indicted person’s state does not comply within a reasonable timeframe, then the prosecuting state gets the FBI involved
- If the FBI fails to extradite (very unlikely), then the prosecuting state can pass a default judgement and start following alternative courses of action for causing suffering to the guilty
Generally speaking, states are federally obligated to honor each other’s extradition requests, though asking nicely still remains the first resort. Gov. DeSantis does have an opportunity to grandstand here, but he’s much more likely to drag out the process rather than outright defy it – pissing off the FBI is something which states try to avoid doing ↩︎
- The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
- The indicted person flees the country
- The end
Much be nice to be rich where you do crime, go anywhere you want, and escape the punishment. No federal no-fly list to be put on because it’s all state charges.
Uh, yeah… I guess? Step 2 is doing a lot of heavy lifting because states can and do extradite internationally. There’s a whole federal office which exists for this specific purpose: the OIA. It’s hardly a “happily ever after” situation to spend the rest of your life far away from home and constantly looking over your shoulders.
That would, unfortunately, be abduction.
In this case, I’m pro abduction, let’s do that
Just to be sure, how high are the chances of a mass execution for high treason at this point in time?
Basically nil. Both the federal Constitution and Georgia law define treason very narrowly as waging war or giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the US/State of Georgia.
Georgia and Georgia Tech are pointing at each other “Shoot him!”
Too low
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis said late Monday that former President Donald Trump and his 18 allies who were indicted on 41 felony counts have until noon ET on Friday, Aug. 25 to turn themselves in or an arrest warrant will be issued.
Willis addressed reporters shortly after a grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 others on 41 counts, including 13 against Trump, of election fraud, racketeering and other charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Other co-defendants include Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official; and Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis, conservative lawyers who pushed baseless claims of voter fraud.
In a statement, Trump’s attorneys Drew Findling, Jennifer Little and Marissa Goldberg said, “The events that have unfolded today have been shocking and absurd.”
“This one-sided grand jury presentation relied on witnesses who harbor their own personal and political interests— some of whom ran campaigns touting their efforts against the accused and/or profited from book deals and employment opportunities as a result,” the attorneys said in the statement.
“We look forward to a detailed review of this indictment which is undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been.”
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
