Flotsam and Jetsam - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

As one might suspect, the news is full of the new Trump indictment in Georgia, so much so that it's hard to sort them into group, so I'm just gonna nakedly grab my  FMJRAs and go from there. At The Other McCain, Stacy is amused by CNN’s Endless Indictment Orgasm "Love those adjectives. Now go take a shower, you sick freak." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Early Morning Edition), EBL Georgia Indictment? Does this mean no library for Donald J. Trump?, Dana Loesch: Trump Charges Leaked In Georgia?, Don Surber: It’s Our Party & We’ll Trump If We Want To, Legal Insurrection, Trump Indicted on 13 Counts in Georgia 2020 Election Probe, and the Volokh Conspiracy: Prof. Michael McConnell, Responding About the Fourteenth Amendment, “Insurrection,” and Trump. At In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Evening Edition) EBL, Flashback Election Denial: Stacy Abrams Refusing To Concede Georgia Governor Race, Twitchy, Why Is It Forbidden To Question The 2020 Election?, Dana Loesch: Trump Indictment 4.0, American Greatness: Trump Announces That He Will Share ‘Irrefutable’ Report Next Week on ‘Rigged’ 2020 Election in Georgia, American Thinker: Ballot Harvesting — Only The Brain Dead Believe It Now!, Legal Insurrection, Mark Meadows Files To Remove Georgia State Prosecution To Federal Court, U. Chicago Survey: 30 Million Americans Think Violence Justified to Stop Trump From Winning the Presidency, DeSantis and Other GOP Presidential Candidates Respond to Trump’s Georgia Indictment, Power Line: I Read the Georgia Indictment, So You Don’t Have To, The Federalist: The Longer Republicans Sit On Their Hands, The More Likely America’s Self-Destruction Becomes Irreversible, Trump’s Georgia Indictment Shows The Democrat Political Prosecutions Are So Much Worse Than The Supposed Crimes, and If Saying An Election Is Stolen Is A Crime, Why Isn’t Stacey Abrams In Prison?

And now that you've digested that, Hat Hair's Capt. Ed, Kraken, released: Fani Willis indicts ... everyone, lets God sort them out. Ben Whedon and Madeleine Hubbard at JTN, Donald Trump, 18 others indicted in Georgia election probe. WaEx, Donald Trump indicted: Former president slams Georgia charges as he claims 'Witch Hunt continues.' Trump on Truth Social, promises proof of election fraud. PM, Trump to release report on Georgia's 2020 'election fraud'— declares 'There will be a complete EXONERATION!' "Trump said he would personally reveal the findings at a news conference next week at his New Jersey golf club." I hope so, but I doubt it. Hat Hair's John Sexton, Trump claims election fraud in Georgia (again) but Gov. Kemp sets him straight, Sundance at CTH, President Trump Announces August 21 Press Conference to Outline Georgia Election Fraud and Understanding why Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp Supports Corrupt Fulton County DA Fani Willis. "Republican and Democrat politics is a club structure. Factually, voters are irrelevant in the system the two private corporations have constructed. Whether you align with Republicans or you choose to align with Democrats, the main thing to always remember is – they don’t care. Voters are not part of the RNC/DNC party construct. Voters are irrelevant. The interests of voters are not part of any discussion that takes place inside the private corporations." James Lindsay, Dga.F. @ConceptualJames  Read on Twitter "So what's with all the indictments of Trump? Well, lots of things, but let's look at it through my favorite lens: dialectical political warfare, which we know is the operating system of the Enemy. There are several big reasons, but key among them is Operation Poke the Bear."

Matt Palumbo at Bongino, Fulton County DA Fumbles When Confronted on Trump Charges Leaked Before Grand Jury Vote. ET, Here Is When Trump Has to Surrender in Georgia Case. Hat Hair, The circus is coming to Fulton County -- but ...

Joe Cunningham at Red State wants to know How Serious Is the Fulton County Indictment of Trump? At Twitchy, Jonathan Turley pours ice cold water on Fani Willis and her political dumpster fire of a prosecution. Mediaite, Alan Dershowitz Predicts All Four Trump Trials Will Take Place Before 2024 Election, Adds ‘There’ll Be Some Convictions’  "“You know, it’s Alice in Wonderland — verdict first, execution, and then trial. That’s what we’re having here. And it’s such an undercutting of our Constitution." Matt Vespa at Town Hall, Law Professor Exposes the Chilling Objective Behind the Georgia Indictment Against Trump "Democrats get to jail Trump, warns Republicans what will happen if they try to pursue a recount in elections, and create an environment that could produce another January 6-like event. It will give the Left the basis to engage in more anti-democratic and authoritarian measures to lock up conservatives." Also Lawyer Has One Key Question About the Georgia Indictment Against Trump. It Will Irritate Liberals. 'Bonchie' at Red State, Mark Meadows Files Motion That Could Be an Out in Georgia for Trump and Multiple Defendants, move the trial to federal court. Yes, it can happen. "Mr. Meadows has the right to remove this matter. The conduct giving rise to the charges in the indictment all occurred during his tenure and as part of his service as Chief of Staff. In these circumstances, federal law provides for prompt removal of a “criminal prosecution . . . commenced in a State court . . . against or directed to” a federal official, “in an official or individual capacity, for or relating to any act under color of [his] office.” 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1)."

Althouse, Now, I don't even feel like making a new post for every new indictment. "I'm like... what else is new?" And, Unique difficulties. "I'm reading "In Georgia and federal indictments, two vastly different approaches/Fani Willis’s sprawling case allows prosecutors to target Trump’s broad scheme. But legal experts and critics say both the scope and specificity could be a problem" (WaPo)." And It's obviously always whatever Trump is on the wrong side of. "That's my answer to the question asked in the headline of this WaPo column: "Trump ups the ante on going after judges and witnesses. Where’s the line?" "My answer isn't so much a joke as it is my expression of exasperation. Maybe there's good material in this column, but I won't be reading it. There's so much anti-Trump material. Some people like it."   PJM's Matt Margolis, Trump Attorneys Blast Latest Sham Indictment, DA Fani Willis. Jake Sullum at Reason, Trump's Georgia Indictment Raises Familiar Questions of Knowledge and Intent. "The defendants will claim their alleged "racketeering activity" was a sincere effort to rectify election fraud." Paul Hookem 🇺🇸@PaulHook_em "They indicted Trump for…telling people to watch the Georgia hearings on OANN.  Even Orwell couldn’t imagine this. At WaEx, Donald Trump indicted: Who is Scott McAfee, the judge presiding over ex-president's Fulton County case? "McAfee was appointed to the court by Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) this year after serving as inspector general in the Georgia Office of the State Inspector General, according to the county court's website. He has experience as a prosecutor and in the county where the case resides, having served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia and a senior assistant district attorney in Fulton County in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit."

PJM's Stephen Kruiser, Garbage Indictments Could Give Trump Electoral Superpowers. Matt Vespa again, Are Dems Prepared for This Possibility Regarding Their Political Persecution of Trump? "The consequences of a Trump conviction could be devastating, and Democrats seem blissfully unaware that they’re creating an environment where another January 6-like event could erupt. An increasing number of Americans are starting to see the actions against Trump by the Justice Department to be motivated by politics rather than facts. Or they want another riot on the Hill to weaponize against Republicans, spurring a massive roundup of conservatives. These are dangerous times." Capt. Ed has Georgia on our minds: Will Trump get a boost from latest indictment? I think not too much, at four, the effect is sort of used up. 

The Peacock gloats In Georgia, cameras could sharpen the focus on Trump in the courtroom. "Unlike his previous court appearances, if Trump is brought into a Georgia courtroom the proceedings are likely to be broadcast live on TV."  Paul Bedard at WaEx, Democrats gleeful over sprawl of Georgia indictment, want GOP charged. At Zero Hedge, Awkward: Rachel Maddow Calls Out 'Election Deniers' As Hillary Clinton Offers Blank Stare. Maddow didn't kill herself. From the Daily Fetched, Hillary Clinton Gloats over Trump Indictment: ‘The System Is Working, Justice is Being Pursued’. Ruth Marcus at WaPoo? Is Georgia’s case against Trump one case too many? as she suddenly realizes a lot of Red States could be filing charges against Democrats. Zaid Jilani@ZaidJilani "Mehdi/Comcast is cherrypicking this survey data. He cites survey stating that 7% of Americans say it would be justified to use force to restore Trump to WH, doesn't note that an even larger % say it would be justified in the name of abortion rights. He's scaring liberal viewers." But then, as we reported before 30% (presumably about 60% of Democrats) think violence is justified to keep Trump out of office. 

Meanwhile the Biden Crime Family's antics continue in an undercurrent of the news. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Early Morning Edition), American Greatness: Joe Biden’s Race Against the Truth, The Lid: Hunter’s New Special Council Appointment Is A False Flag, Power Line: Why Weiss?, Transterrestrial Musings: Biden Corruption Coverage, and The Fix Is In.  At In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Evening Edition) American Greatness:  FBI Agent: Biden Transition Team, Secret Service were Warned About 2020 Plans to Interview Hunter and The Federalist  Merrick Garland Reminds Us Regularly Why He’s Never Deserved To Sit On The Supreme Court.

Scott Powel at Town Hall opines Impeachment of Joe Biden Is Overdue and Opens New Levels of Discovery.

From WaEx, Maui should be Biden's Katrina moment, but he's a Democrat. At Power Line Kohn Hinderacker has “No Comment”. Red State's Nick Arama claims Biden's Response to Question About the Maui Fire Was Even Worse Than We Initially Thought. Ben Whedon at JTN hears As death toll hits 99, Trump slams Biden response to Maui wildfires, "To say 'no comment' is oftentimes fine but to be smiling when you say it, especially against such a tragedy as this is absolutely horrible and unacceptable."  Insty, HEARTLESS JOE. . . "The Double Standard: “It gets dull and repetitive to ask: can you imagine if Trump had responded to a disaster in that way?“"

At Da Caller, Biden Admin Begins Wiping Away Billions Of Student Debt For Thousands Of Borrowers, buying votes.

At In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Evening Edition)  Shark Tank: Rick Scott Chastises Biden For Blocking School Hunter Education Funds.

Kurt Schlichter at Town Hall asks, sincerely, I think, Can Ron DeSantis Win? "The reality is that Donald Trump may get booted out of this race involuntarily, and we better have somebody squared away who knows how to fight and win. I kind of like having the guy who took a purple state and turned it bright red, then won reelection by 20 points, as the standard bearer." ET, Trump Indictments Are 'Persecution,' Says Ramaswamy, as Clinton Assures 'System Is Working.' From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Early Morning Edition), Da Tech Guy, DeSantis 2024 is to the GOP Deepstate Establishment what Greek Food is to Leonard Hofstadter At Grabien, Vivek Ramaswamy Responds to ‘Pan-Sexual’ Reporter: I Have a Problem with the ‘Tyranny of the Minority.’ Althouse, "Don't have anyone write your speeches and don't use a teleprompter. I'll make that commitment. Why doesn't the whole field make that commitment?" "Says Vivek Ramaswamy, on TikTok."

 From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.15.23 (Early Morning Edition),The Geller Reports Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel Confirms 10K Voter Registrations Delivered to Muskegon Clerk in October 2020 Were FRAUDULENT. And why would someone create 10,000 fraudulent registrations, unless they intended to use them?

Sundance, Core Jonah Goldberg, the Biggest Problem for the Republican Party Is That We Still Permit Voting, they might vote for Trump.

From Da Caller, Top FBI Official Involved In ‘Russiagate’ Investigation Pleads Guilty To Conspiracy To Aid Russian Oligarch.  Insty, THE ENEMY WITHIN: “The former head of counterintelligence for the F.B.I. in New York pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday to a single reduced charge of conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions and laundering payments from a prominent Russian oligarch.” "So a guy pushing the Trump Russian collusion story was colluding with the Russians. Why am I not surprised?"

At Twitchy, Is Geraldo OK? Apparently, Tucker Carlson has REALLY gotten under his skin (WATCH) "Both of these men used to be on Fox News. When one of them left Fox, viewers rejoiced. When the other left, the audience boycotted Fox and many have yet to return. We will let you figure out which is which." At YouTube Tom Knighton explains How the parties have flipped on free speech.
