Georgia Criminal Investigation Into Trump Election Tampering Moves Forward The criminal investigation into whether Trump violated state and local laws in Georgia when tried to tamper with the election results has moved forward. https://www.politicususa.com/2021/09/07/trump-georgia-investigation-moves-forward.html Trump is being criminally investigated in Georgia for tampering with the election Georgia prosecutors have been investigating Trump’s phone calls to state election officials for months after he asked them to “find votes” for him and overturn the results. Fulton County investigators have received documents from Georgia election officials and they have interviewed four people. Georgia Investigators Are Also Working With The 1/6 Investigation According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “Investigators are also coordinating with federal lawmakers probing the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol to share documents that could be useful to the state probe, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions.” Trump Could Be Criminally Indicted In Georgia The Manhattan investigation into Trump and his business dealing gets the bulk of the attention on the Trump crime beat, but there is a real possibility that the failed former president gets indicted in Georgia for his scheme to use the state to overturn the election. Getting Georgia to overturn their results was vital to Trump’s plan to use Georgia as evidence to convince other states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan to overturn their results. One of the reasons why democracy survived was because Georgia election officials held their ground. This is also why Georgia Republicans passed a law taking power and authority away from the state’s election officials. Trump could be facing an indictment in Georgia and accountability for trying to overturn the election.

Now we have evidence that Trump and his associates illegally organized the threatening of Georgia a poll worker with arrest based on false claims that a worker put ballots in suitcases. Of course the threats that “an armed squad” of federal officers would go after the poll worker and their family in the next 48 hours was a mere intimidation tactic from the Trump campaign. Prosecutor: Trump ally arranged meeting with poll worker https://apnews.com/article/2022-mid...presidential-32a8e0d49541ea7ec6ca3a03dd0029ae ATLANTA (AP) — After the 2020 election, a Georgia poll worker who was falsely accused of voting fraud by former President Donald Trump was pressured and threatened with imprisonment during a meeting arranged with the help of an ally of the Trump campaign, a prosecutor said in a court filing Friday. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating whether Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia. As part of the probe, Willis filed court documents on Friday seeking testimony from Willie Lewis Floyd, a director of Black Voices for Trump, a group aimed at increasing the former president’s support among Black voters. In December 2021, Floyd was asked to arrange a meeting to discuss an “immunity deal” with Ruby Freeman, a Fulton County election worker whom Trump and his allies falsely accused of pulling fraudulent ballots from a suitcase, according to Willis. Willis said Floyd arranged for Trevian Kutti — whom Willis described as a “purported publicist” based in Chicago — to meet with Freeman. The prosecutor has previously sought Kutti’s testimony. Kutti told Freeman that “an armed squad” of federal officers would approach her and her family within 48 hours and that Kutti had access to “very high-profile people that can make particular things happen in order to defend yourself and your family,” according to Willis’ court filing. The district attorney cited video footage as evidence of those statements. Kutti did not immediately respond to an email message seeking comment Friday. A message to Floyd’s Instagram account was also not immediately returned. Freeman and Kutti met at the Cobb County Police Department, where Kutti told Freeman that “freedom and the freedom of one or more of your family members” would be disrupted if Freeman declined her assistance. Kutti said Freeman was “a loose end for a party that needs to tidy up,” according to Willis. The meeting was captured in part by a body camera, Willis said. Kutti also said she wanted to connect Freeman to Floyd, whom she described as a “Black progressive crisis manager, very high level, with authoritative powers to get you protection that you need,” Willis said. During a subsequent phone call with Kutti and Floyd, Freeman was pressured to reveal information under threat of imprisonment, Willis said. Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, appeared in June before the House Jan. 6 committee and have told lawmakers how the lies about election fraud upended their lives. Moss was also a poll worker in Fulton County. Willis has sought testimony from numerous witnesses with ties to Trump as part of her investigation, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham. Giuliani, who’s been told he’s a target of the investigation, testified before the special grand jury last month. A federal judge on Thursday ruled that constitutional protections don’t shield Graham from testifying. Trump has blamed voter fraud for his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. State officials and federal investigators, including Trump’s own attorney general, have said there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 contest.
Newly obtained surveillance video shows fake Trump elector escorted operatives into Georgia county’s elections office before voting machine breach https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/06/poli...chine-breach-coffee-county-georgia/index.html A Republican county official in Georgia escorted two operatives working with an attorney for former President Donald Trump into the county’s election offices on the same day a voting system there was breached, newly obtained video shows. The breach is now under investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and is of interest to the Fulton County District Attorney, who is conducting a wider criminal probe of interference in the 2020 election. The video sheds more light on how an effort spearheaded by lawyers and others around Trump to seek evidence of voter fraud was executed on the ground from Georgia to Michigan to Colorado, often with the assistance of sympathetic local officials. In the surveillance video, which was obtained by CNN, Cathy Latham, a former GOP chairwoman of Coffee County who is under criminal investigation for posing as a fake elector in 2020, escorts a team of pro-Trump operatives to the county’s elections office on January 7, 2021, the same day a voting system there is known to have been breached. The two men seen in the video with Latham, Scott Hall and Paul Maggio, have acknowledged that they successfully gained access to a voting machine in Coffee County at the behest of Trump lawyer Sidney Powell. Text messages, emails and witness testimony filed as part of a long-running civil suit into the security of Georgia’s voting systems show Latham communicated directly with the then-Coffee County elections supervisor about getting access to the office, both before and after the breach. One text message, according to the court document, shows Latham coordinating the arrival and whereabouts of a team “led by Paul Maggio” that traveled to Coffee County at the direction of Powell. Three days after the breach, Latham texted the Coffee County elections supervisor, “Did you all finish with the scanner?” According to court documents, Latham testified she did not know what Hall was doing in Coffee County. But when confronted with her texts about the scanner, she asserted her Fifth Amendment rights. Maggio did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. Instead, the data firm he works for, SullivanStrickler, which court documents show was hired by Powell, said in a statement to CNN that it was “directed by attorneys to contact county election officials to obtain access to certain data” in Georgia and also “directed by attorneys to distribute that data to certain individuals.” In an August 29, 2022, email, an attorney for SullivanStrickler acknowledges that Latham was the “primary point of contact” in coordinating the team’s visit to Coffee County. The firm said it had no reason to believe these attorneys would ask or direct it to “do anything either improper or illegal.” Hall, an Atlanta bail bondsman and Fulton County Republican poll watcher, did not reply to repeated requests for comment from CNN.
