Georgia Makes for Multiple Trials Smack Dab in Middle of 2024 Election

The latest Trump indictment in Fulton County, Georgia guarantees that there will be multiple separate trials smack dab in the middle of Trump’s 2024 election campaign. This constitutes election interference against the leading national political candidate in the United States, both in the 2024 GOP Primary and the 2024 Presidential general election. When you look at it through a “soda straw” one may argue the merits of any single one of these cases. When you look at all of it from a ‘bird’s eye view’, it becomes perfectly clear what this is all about. Democratic frontrunners and elected officials have engaged in the same activities and more than Trump is accused of regarding contesting election fraud and other. This includes allegations of voter fraud, hacked voting machines, refusing to certify election results, hush money payments, handling of classified documents, and the list goes on. Add to this list the more serious allegations against the Biden family, such as bribery, extortion influence peddling, and personal enrichment. There has been little to no progress in any investigations against the Democrats as they have all been ignored or slow walked, with not a single indictment. These selective prosecutions and ‘banana republic’ style hits on the leading political opposition puts us in a constitutional crisis and a government resembling Ecuador or other third world nations. What makes it look worse for the Democrats is the breakneck speed at which all of the Trump indictments have occurred along with the orchestrated effort to have all four trials staggered throughout what many say is the most important election year in modern U.S. history.

Legal Scholar Alan Dershowitz claims this is the worst ‘Constitutional Crisis’ since the 1850s. On Steve Bannon’s War Room, Dershowitz said the following, “The fact that they were willing to put the indictment on the website before the grand jurors voted proves something that any of us who have had experience in criminal law know, the grand jury is meaningless...If the prosecutor wants an indictment, she gets an indictment. So nobody should say, ‘Oh, my God, a grand jury, 23 people looked at the evidence and they said there was enough to indict!’ Ignore it. It’s nonsense. The grand jury didn't decide anything, they rubber stamped something the prosecutor put in front of them and the best evidence is the prosecutor was so incompetent she was willing to put it on her website even before the vote took place.”

He continued, “You know, it’s Alice in Wonderland, verdict first, execution, and then trial. That's what we’re having here. And it’s such an undercutting of our Constitution." Dershowitz added, “It doesn’t matter whether there are good or bad convictions for Trump.” Scheduling four trials for next year ahead of the general election, Dershowitz maintains there will almost certainly be some convictions for Trump and stated, “I think the strategy is to get bad convictions, but to get them fast in New York, in Florida, in Washington, and in Fulton County, [Georgia], then they’ll be reversed on appeal, but they’ll be reversed on appeal after the election. That's why everybody is rushing to get these cases tried. We now know they wanted it tried within six months in Georgia. They want a trial in January in Washington D.C. They want a trial in May in Florida. New York has been willing to put it off but they're getting on the bandwagon too.” Dershowitz also points out, “I've done hundreds of these kinds of cases over my 60 years. I've never seen a RICO case tried within six months of the indictment. Usually, it is a year or two or sometimes even longer. If this case were on a normal schedule, it wouldn't come to trial until well after the election. The same is true for the Washington D.C. case.”

With respect to getting adequate representation in the courts, “They say the first thing tyrants do is first they get the lawyers, then they stop free speech….They're going after any lawyer, not only who represented Trump, but who speaks out on behalf of Trump. And it is terrorizing the lawyers. Lawyers have told me they will not represent Donald Trump. They'd like to, but they don't want to be Dershowitzed. They don't want to be attacked and condemned and have their careers questioned because they support the Constitution.”

Insidiousness has prevailed in our country. The effort to stop Trump from effectively campaigning is at a fever pitch. The American people are the victims here. Like Trump always says, “They are not coming for me, they are coming for you.” All of these ‘show’ trials at a minimum should be delayed until after the 2024 Presidential election. Giving the other GOP and Democratic candidates a free and uninterrupted ride while Trump is bogged down with legal expenses, attorneys and court dates for the entire 2024 campaign season is un-American, especially when there is such an obvious double standard.
