Episode notes
Trump's Georgia Indictment
- Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including pressuring Georgia officials and alleged voting machine tampering, led to a RICO indictment.
- This mirrors past incidents like Hawaii Democrats' alternate electors in 1960, raising questions about legality.
The Question of Intent
- The crux of Trump's case lies in intent: did he knowingly pursue illegal means to overturn the election?
- Merely seeking legal advice or requesting vote recounts isn't inherently criminal, intent is key.
Politically Charged Indictments?
- While Trump's charges are serious, the timing of the four indictments in five months raises suspicion of political motivation.
- This resembles targeting Trump in a politically charged D.C. jurisdiction.
