New York State has already been investigating Trump for possible financial crimes, and imo, it's past time that Georgia do a criminal investigation regarding Trump's illegal attempts to pressure our Republican SOS to overturn the election.
Fulton County’s top prosecutor launched a wide-ranging criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to reverse his election defeat in Georgia, sending letters to state officials urging them to preserve documents related to his demand that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger “find” enough votes to overturn the outcome.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat recently elected to the office, sent notices Wednesday to Raffensperger, Gov. Brian Kemp, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and Attorney General Chris Carr asking them to keep documents that could be used as part of broad criminal investigation that included potential charges of election fraud, conspiracy and making false statements.
.At the time, legal experts said Trump could potentially be prosecuted under Georgia law that bans the solicitation of election fraud by urging Raffensperger to “find” votes to sway the outcome of the race. Anthony Kreis, a constitutional law professor at Georgia State University, said Trump “wanted to use his position of influence and authority to alter official election results.”
“The law is designed precisely to prevent this kind of undue pressure on our elected officials,” Kreis said.
