The Fulton County document listed 12 felony counts and one serious felony count for violating Georgia’s RICO Act.

    IANAL. It sounds silly to me too have felonies and “serious felonies”. All felonies seem pretty serious to me!

      Another way to rank them how other states have first/second/third degree felonies.

      Kind of like how burglary is a bad, but not as bad as murder or rape.

    16-10-20 - given that we’re all learning about Georgia law tonight, it was fascinating to read that they also have a “lying to the government” law like the one that so many people cite in federal cases

    I’m concerned that they will use this leak to somehow claim a mistrial since the charges were leaked before they selected the jury, and they’ll win the appeal.

      I doubt that. It’s government bureaucracy, people make mistakes, even the court.

        you’re probably right. but I like the idea of it being a strategic move to troll the orange turd enough to disregard your comment.

        don’t take my idle fantasies from me.

      Probably just some clerk getting too eager to finally put the screws to the old, stupid windbag after seeing how far ahead of schedule they’re running.

      The fact that he’ll spin out even harder is a bonus.

    I like that this post appears to have negative one downvotes. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

        I’m gonna make my own social media platform that has up and down arrows that generate random numbers next to a message like “At least some people probably like this.” And if you post too frequently a banner appears at the top of all the pages with your IP address. Also viruses. Just lots and lots of viruses.
