Follow on Google News | Georgia Indictments, Probably Including Trump, Coming This SummerLetter Warning of Violence, Plus Other Signs, Suggest RICO and Other Charges
For example, Willis wrote to Fulton Sheriff Patrick Labat: "Please accept this correspondence as notice to allow you sufficient time to prepare the Sheriff's Office and coordinate with local, state and federal agencies to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public." The wording of the letter very clearly indicates that the indictments about to be announced this summer will include Trump, since indictments of other lesser participants in schemes to illegally change the outcome of the election in the Peach State would not be expected to trigger much public concern, much less illegal riots and other lawbreaking requiring police intervention, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf. Banzhaf filed the formal complaint with Willis' office, charging Trump with violating at least three Georgia criminal statutes, which triggered her subsequent formal investigation, including calling as witnesses many high ranking Republicans, and the convening of a special grand jury. Banzhaf, whose memo to the Justice Department triggered its very successful criminal prosecution of the major cigarette companies under the federal RICO statute, has also outlined several reasons why the Georgia criminal proceeding is likely to include at least one RICO count; a major concern for Trump since the state RICO statute is more powerful and more far reaching than its federal counterpart. Prof Banzhaf has frequently detailed the many experts who believe that an indictment from Georgia is the greatest legal danger Trump now faces; most recently in: New Evidence May Finally Trigger A Trump Indictment; Georgia DA Has Recording of Third Threatening Phone Call (https://www.valuewalk.com/ JOHN F.
