Good info, thank you. There’s a number of 20 yes votes to indict that didn’t actually get indicted. I wonder if that means they all flipped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

My thoughts too, at least some of them had to be flippers.

Can you explain what this table is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The grand jury in Georgia was asked to vote on whether or not the names listed should be indicted. The middle is the yes, no, and, I think abstain count, but I'm not positive. The last column was whether they were indicted or not. There was one name that I didn't see listed in the indictment but was indicted.

What about convictions?

Poor Lindsey, if he goes to jail they might force him to have sex and then not accept money for doing it. In fact, it might weird them out a little.

the charges were recommended by the grand jury, and justified, but never levied. but there are no indictments coming from the prosecutor. these were three of the individuals who absolutely committed criminal acts in furtherance of election tampering, and who aren't going to be held accountable, which is why it's a missed opportunity. we know they did the dirt, they're guilty as fuck, but they're not going to go to trial. that's howso.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Gotcha. Like the person you originally replied to I hadn't actually read the article yet so missed that part.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

well how about that.. a little old county down in Georgia can bring even former Presidents and sitting Senators to trail and make them face jail..

We always knew Lindsay was going to get his and here’s to him getting served 🍻
