In a groundbreaking legal case, former U.S. President Donald Trump is presently facing 13 charges in Georgia, related to a racketeering (RICO) case.
The case also initially implicated 18 other individuals, including well-known attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis.
According to Gateway Pundit, the case has been fraught with controversy and unexpected developments. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the prosecution, has been caught up in allegations of corruption. It is claimed that she paid her then-partner, Nathan Wade, close to a million dollars to prosecute the case, and that they took extravagant vacations together. Willis has stated that she reimbursed him for these trips in cash.
Wade, who was romantically involved with Willis at the time, had no previous experience with RICO cases, and it is reported that he had never even prosecuted a felony case before. Despite this, he was given the unprecedented task of prosecuting a former U.S. President and a potential Republican nominee for the 2024 election.
The case has already unearthed several significant inconsistencies related to the 2020 election. Fulton County attorneys have admitted that the BlueCrest sorter machines, which were purchased to automate signature verification, were not used. Additionally, former Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections member Mark Wingate testified under oath that he was informed by Fulton County that no signature verification was conducted. Wingate also stated that he was denied any chain of custody documentation to validate the election before certifying it, leading him to vote against certification.
On November 17, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger publicly announced that an audit using forensic techniques had been completed and found no evidence of foul play in the 2020 election. The audit was supposedly conducted by Pro V&V, a voting system testing lab whose mandated accreditation had expired over two years before the 2020 election, in violation of the EAC's own regulations.
Raffensperger stated that the audit of a random sample of machines found no evidence of tampering. The audit was allegedly conducted in six counties: Cobb, Douglas, Floyd, Morgan, Paulding, and Spalding. However, Pro V&V's role as a Voting Systems Test Laboratory (VSTL) is to ensure the correct software is on the machines before the election and to verify that the machines are functioning correctly. Allowing them access to the voting equipment after the election represents a significant conflict of interest.
In December 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that Open Records Request showed that the counties listed by the Secretary of State had no responsive records. Paulding County definitively responded that they did not have an audit of the machines following the November 2020 election and had no communications with the SOS, Dominion, or PRO V&V.
During a recent public comment at the State Election Board hearing in Georgia, citizen Bob Coover, who was responsible for the open records request, revealed that he had met with the governor and shared 28 allegations of crimes against the citizens of Georgia by the Secretary of State and his office. Coover claimed that he had worked with Evan Myers, the Deputy Executive Counsel, for two months before the case was referred to the Inspector General's office, then headed by Scott McAfee.
Coover stated that McAfee told him he would pursue one of the allegations, the Pro V&V audit, which Coover believes never took place. After handing over the Open Records Requests from the six counties where the audit was alleged to have occurred to McAfee's office, Coover claimed that McAfee ceased communication with him. McAfee is now a Superior Court judge, as is the District Attorney in the Appalachian Circuit, to whom Coover also provided the same information.
Coover ended his public comment with a pointed remark, "If any of you guys are looking on how to become a judge, I got a fast-track. You are going to be influenced in your positions. You are influenced at this very moment. I just hope you seek the truth, follow the truth, and follow the Georgia Law that's written on your behalf."
In a twist of fate, Scott McAfee is now the judge presiding over the Donald Trump RICO case in Fulton County, which revolves around allegations of false election fraud claims. This case continues to unfold, revealing a complex web of allegations, conflicts of interest, and potential corruption at various levels of the legal and political system.
