An absolute bomb for Trump.
Based on statements and testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, former President Donald Trump did not ask him to engage in any illegal activity in the 2020 presidential election.
The denial of the claim that Trump asked Raffensperger to criminally “find votes” significantly undermines Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against Trump and 18 people associated with him.
Regarding the testimony of George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, Raffensperger’s testimony indicated that the phone call, while considered “extraordinary,” was characterized as a ” agreement negotiation”. This conversation occurred in the context of a deliberation on seeking an additional vote count, rather than a request to fabricate new votes.
According to Turley, “the call was misrepresented by the [Washington] The post and transcript later showed that Trump was not only asking for votes to be added to the count, but asking for another recount or a continued investigation. Again, I didn’t agree with that position, but the words about finding 11,780 votes referred to what I was looking for in an ongoing investigation. Critics were enraged by the suggestion that Trump was advocating a recount rather than simply demanding the addition of votes to the count or fraudulent findings.”
“Raffensperger described the call in the same terms,” he added. “He correctly called the call ‘extraordinary’ in a president personally calling for this investigation, especially after the close of the previous count. That’s obviously true. However, he also acknowledged that this was a ‘deal negotiation “.
“So what was the subject of the talks okay?” Turley questioned. “Another recount or further investigation. The same as critics this week were apoplectic in the coverage. That doesn’t mean Trump had grounds for the lawsuit. Trump’s participation in the call was extraordinary and their demands were as well. However, the reference to the vote deficit to demand a continued investigation was a predictable argument in a settlement negotiation. As I said earlier, I have covered these challenges for years as a CBS legal analyst, NBC, BBC and Fox. Unsupported legal claims may be punishable in court, but have not been treated as crimes.”
However, Fani Willis sees the phone call between Donald Trump and Brad Raffensperger as a significant element in her “exhibition” lawsuit, which seeks to portray the legal process of contesting the election as a criminal operation. Former President Donald Trump used legal channels to address concerns about the outcome of the 2020 election, intending to seek a legal solution rather than engaging in any illicit attempts to invalidate the election results.
There appear to be no viable criminal charges in this situation, as the story appears to have been fabricated by individuals who are politically opposed to Trump, with the intent of preventing him from participating in a presidential election and denying voters the opportunity to choose it. as president
According to a recent study commissioned by a local media outlet, a majority of respondents in Georgia expressed their opposition to the idea of former President Donald Trump accepting a plea deal offered by District Attorney Fani Willis.
According to a study conducted exclusively by 11Alive in Atlanta, a majority of respondents, representing 55 percent, expressed their preference for President Trump to stand trial. Meanwhile, 21 percent of participants indicated they should consider accepting a settlement, while 24 percent remained unsure or refrained from expressing an opinion.
According to an unidentified individual named Eros, who leans toward the Republican party and resides in Cobb County, “I would prefer that he take a plea deal.”
“He wants to prove everybody wrong and be president again. So I don’t think his pride would allow him to plead guilty,” said Beth Carter, a Midtown voter who tends to support the Democratic Party.
Richard Holloway, a member of the Republican Party from Lithia Springs, expressed his support for a trial of Donald Trump, as he believes such a trial would lead to his exoneration.
“I’m for Trump. Come on, Trump. ‘Know what I mean?’ Good luck,” Holloway said, expressing skepticism about the likelihood of a successful conviction.
According to Atlanta’s Leelt Ermias, the outcome would depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the petition. “It would depend on the specifics of the petition,” Ermias said, adding that he does not support Trump.
Prosecutors have the power to engage in plea bargaining, in which they have the ability to offer plea deals that go beyond the usual terms of probation or sentencing requirements. According to 11Alive, the agreements can include the defendant’s consent to participate in counseling or their exclusion from a specific jurisdiction.
According to Clint Rucker, a former Fulton County prosecutor who is now in private practice, “imposing a requirement that the person never run for public office again could be a condition that could be part of a negotiated request”.
Trump has said it will not accept a plea offer.
