America might finally be able to watch the spectacle of a former president being criminally indicted live on their television and phone screens.

Donald Trump was the worst candidate ever in the history of the Republican Party — former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan

BREAKING: Trump is hit with devastating news as former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan exits the courthouse after testifying in front of Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis’ grand jury and immediately blasts Trump with an epic takedown. He quickly went after Trump, declaring, “This is a pivot point for the Republican Party. We need to take our medicine and accept that the 2020 presidential election WASN’T rigged, that Donald Trump was the worst candidate ever in the history of the Republican Party — even worse than Herschel Walker — and that if we want to win the next election, it’s gonna have to be with someone other than Donald Trump.”But he wasn’t done there, adding, “As long as Republicans make this upcoming election about the three-ring circus called Donald Trump, we’re gonna lose EVERY time!”Very well said. Now, THIS is a Republican with a spine!If this is how he talked right after his testimony, it’s safe to assume that his testimony was absolutely devastating for Trump — and that an indictment is imminent. x BREAKING: Trump is hit with devastating news as former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan exits the courthouse after testifying in front of Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis’ grand jury and immediately blasts Trump with an epic takedown.

the 98 page indictment of 19 people

Former President Donald Trump has already been arrested and indicted three times this year, once in Manhattan over hush money payments allegedly paid to Stormy Daniels and twice by the feds over the classified documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Monday morning, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis launched the presentation of her case to a grand jury regarding Trump and several co-conspirators’ efforts to overturn that election specifically in Georgia, according to multiple media reports. The ex-president has reacted in his typical manner, writing a series of agitated posts on his Truth Social account complaining he made a “perfect phone call,” making baseless accusations against Willis, and claiming he was being unfairly persecuted. https://t.co/bm5BO111A8 If Trump is indicted in Fulton County, it will not be the first time the former president will answer to criminal charges in a courtroom. But this time, the entire process is likely to play out on live television. Unlike in federal or Manhattan courts, where Trump appeared for his three previous arraignments, Georgia law requires that cameras be allowed into judicial proceedings with a judge’s approval. In 2018, the Georgia Supreme Court, in an order amending the law to include smartphones, underscored the importance of transparency: “Open courtrooms are an indispensable element of an effective and respected judicial system. “It is the policy of Georgia’s courts to promote access to and understanding of court proceedings not only by the participants in them but also by the general public and by news media who will report on the proceedings to the public. www.nbcnews.com/...

x I find it exceptionally satisfying that the traditionally red state Confederacy Georgia will be Donald's biggest legal problem.



It's like the "Southern Strategy" in reverse. — Mrs. Betty Bowers (@BettyBowers) August 15, 2023

x The Georgia Indictments say there were zero "no bills." That means that the Grand Jury decided to indict in all cases that the DA (the prosecutor) sought. This is very very bad news for Trump, and likely others in his circle. — Neal Katyal (@neal_katyal) August 15, 2023
