State Senator Brings Impeachment Charges Against Trump's Georgia Persecutor, Fani WillisI'd like to see her impeached, but I'm not sure if Georgia is red enough for that any longer: I think she should be impeached. Prosecutors should never "get sexy" in interpreting the law in strange and unintended ways just to get a conviction. Citizens have a right to know what the law is, and that right is violated when a prosecutor twists it to invent new law when it suits her. Prosecutors should especially not make up new law to interfere in a political election and plunge the nation down the bloody path of civil war. But Fani Willis is a modern leftist, and is fueled by arrogance, hatred, and stupidity. She is bringing a RICO case against Trump because she can't prove Trump committed any crimes. So she is using the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to claim that Trump was the head of a mafia, and that the crimes of his capos and soldiers are his crimes. RICO was created because mafia dons rarely committed proveable crimes. When they did commit a crime, like conspiracy to murder, it was usually impossible to prove. The government knew that a mob soldier had killed a shop-owner, but there was no proof to convict the don in the crime. So RICO was created to... creatively paper over this lack of evidence. To bring a RICO case, you first have to establish that the figure you want to charge with another man's crimes is guilty of engaging in an ongoing criminal enterprise. Not just any enterprise. The CEO of McDonald's can't be charged with a RICO violation if one of the corporation's cashiers robs a truck. No, the figure targeted must be engaged in an ongoing criminal enterprise. And then crimes committed by others in the organization in furtherance of the ongoing criminal enterprise can be charged to other figures in the organization, even if they honestly had nothing to do with those crimes. If a mobster is engaged in buying and selling stolen goods, the theft of cars by one of his associates can be charged against the mobster, even if the mobster never gave the order to steal these particular cars and in fact didn't even know about these particular cars. So this is neat if constitutionally-sketchy way to charge someone with a crime they did not commit. But the predicate of all this, to keep RICO from being used to charge anyone of any crime in a prosecutorial game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, is the establishment that there is an ongoing criminal enterprise which all the other alleged crimes can be said to be "in furtherance of." This is where the RICO case against Trump collapses. What "ongoing criminal enterprise" was he engaged in? He was protesting his loss and claiming the election was crooked. There is no crime in that. People are allowed to protest election losses and claim elections were "stolen." From Joe Mannix, here's the "farcical" claim of the ongoing criminal enterprise, from the indictment: 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. I can't be charged with the crimes of the cobloggers, or the readers, and they can't be charged with my crimes, because we cannot be said to be engaged in an ongoing criminal enterprise (despite Victor Davis Hanson's cruel insinuations to the contrary). There is no such crime as "conspiracy to run a blog." There is no such crime as conspiracy to make Jonah Goldberg develop an eating disorder. There is no such crime as conspiracy to encourage David French come "out" to the world. Trump similarly was engaged in a legal effort -- to challenge an election. The Regime angrily despises that effort, but we do not have a system, quite yet, in which noncriminal behavior becomes criminal just because The Regime disapproves of it. The criminal justice system to put their chief political opponent in jail escalated again Monday night, with the release of an indictment pursued by Georgia's Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis against former President Donald Trump. The indictment, targeting not just Trump but 18 of his lawyers and advisers, is a clear message that if you're a Republican, challenging election results -- something Democrats have done after every GOP presidential victory this century -- is now a criminal offense.
Those crimes are chargeable to Hillary Clinton. (And I do not think it matters that both of those men were acquitted of those crimes by a Typical DC Jury. Those verdicts don't mean the crimes didn't happen, just that these stacked Democrat juries refused to say the prosecution had carried its burden of proof.) If Trump can be indicted on RICO, so can Hillary. In fact, so can most Democrats.
Obama even admitted that Democrat vote-counters tended to "tilt things" in Democrats' direction.
Willis and Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat have relished their chance to get their man. Labat told reporters that the county would "have mugshots ready" for Trump and presumably the other 18 defendants in the indictment. There's no doubt that Willis and Labat are milking this indictment for all its worth. The Fulton County clerk leaked a "dry run" of the indictment. She said it was just a Great Big Oopsie! Fulton County clerk who leaked Trump charges says she accidentally hit 'send' instead of 'save' Whoops! Whoopsie! Update: Are you sure this did not affect the trial? Some people were pointing out the system automatically assigned a judge to the case when the clerk did this. I wonder if an enterprising journalist could look into what judges were available to be selected at that time and whether this was actually intentional to ensure a specific judge caught the case.
