LAWLESS Republicans doesn’t want TRUMP to be held accountable for pressuring Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find more votes. Any other person who engaged in such conduct would have been arrested, found guilty and would be in PRISON. This is only one (1) of the many crimes TRUMP committed while he was President. The fact that the majority of Republicans continue to support and protect TRUMP after all of his criminal and outrageous conduct (such as bragging about grabbing women by the P****Y & paying off porn stars to make sure they stay silent about adulterous affairs before the 2016 election) prove Republicans are Lawless Scum of the Earth who have no morals or decency.

Georgia Republicans Introduce Bill To Make Charges Against Trump Illegal
Republican lawmakers in the state of Georgia have introduced legislation that would make RICO charges – the same charges that Trump and his co-defendants have been charged with – illegal in the state. The legislation would throw out all past, present, and future RICO charges and legally bar the state from ever bringing those charges against anyone ever again. In other words, hardened criminals would be immediately set free just to prevent Trump from being prosecuted, as Farron Cousins explains.
Sidney Powell Pleading GUILTY is what LAWLESS Republicans wanted to prevent… proof that there WAS a conspiracy to commit election interference to STEAL and OVERTURN the 2020 election by REPUBLICANS… and TRUMP’S claims that the election was “Stolen” from him and he “Won in a landslide” were LIES.
October 20, 2023 – Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer for Donald Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty Friday to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, striking a deal in which he will avoid jail time and agreed to provide evidence that could implicate other defendants, including Trump himself.

Chesebro was the second former Trump lawyer to accept a plea deal in the sprawling conspiracy case in as many days. The guilty plea came in just hours after jury selection began, ahead of an expected trial next month.
Chesebro pleaded guilty to a single felony count of conspiracy to file false documents and accepted a sentence of three to five years of probation, a $1,000 fine, $5,000 in restitution to the state of Georgia, an apology letter, 100 hours of community service and a promise to testify truthfully against any other co-defendants in the case, should they go to trial.
GA Republicans look to ‘change the rules’ in effort to stop Fani Willis ‘by any means necessary’.
With Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro Pleading GUILTY, any attempt by Republicans to interfere in the Prosecutions of Trump and his accomplices would further PROVE Obstruction of Justice.

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis sent a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan instructing him to stop abusing his authority and violating the Constitution by interfering in her RICO prosecution of Donald Trump and his co-conspirators.
First, Jordan defies a congressional subpoena demanding information and evidence about Donald Trump’s democracy-busting crimes on and around January 6. After refusing to provide – in other words, hiding from the J6 committee and the American people – evidence that could have incriminated Donald Trump, he became even more emboldened in his determination to help Trump evade accountability for his crimes, so he began interfering in state prosecutions.
This kind of escalating, democracy-damaging evidence is exactly what we should expect if the Department of Justice continues to refuse to hold insurrectionists in Congress accountable for their conduct.
Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump’s threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump – one for the “death and destruction” post and one for the baseball bat post.

McCarthy & Jordan attempt to shut down NY DA Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump
In a dramatic and transparent abuse of power, Representatives Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and others attempt to interfere in New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump. This represents a gross abuse of congressional power, a potential violation of the 10th Amendment (as this is NOT a power delegated to the federal government), and it may also constitute the crime of obstruction of justice. But we can expect more of this abuse of power by McCarthy and company if law enforcement authorities decline to hold McCarthy and Jordan accountable for these abuses.
Manhattan District Attorney Sends SCATHING Letter to House Republicans
The Manhattan district attorney’s office said in a new letter to several GOP committee chairmen Friday that it will not submit to any requests that “interfere” with the office’s Trump investigation. “Like any other defendant, Mr. Trump is entitled to challenge these charges in court and avail himself of all processes and protections that New York State’s robust criminal procedure affords,” the office’s general counsel, Leslie Dubeck, wrote about the Trump indictment. “What neither Mr. Trump nor Congress may do is interfere with the ordinary course of proceedings in New York State.”
After reminding the congressmen that they still don’t have the authority to interfere in a criminal prosecution at the state level, and noting that they could use their positions to encourage Americans to trust the integrity of the judicial system, Dubeck added a rather pointed paragraph.
“Instead, you and many of your colleagues have chosen to collaborate with Mr. Trump’s efforts to vilify and denigrate the integrity of elected state prosecutors and trial judges and made unfounded allegations that the Office’s investigation … is politically motivated,” she wrote. “We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference.”
