Prosecutors Warn of Prison Sentences for Trump, Top Allies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and her team of prosecutors want prison sentences for Donald Trump and his top allies, previously unreported emails reveal.

The emails, first reported by the Guardian, reveal deepening hostilities between prosecutors and defendants in the monumental Georgia criminal case against Trump and his top allies.

“We have a long road ahead,” Willis wrote in a previously unreported email last month to Trump’s attorneys. “Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law.”

Willis and her team allege Trump and codefendants violated the racketeering statute as part of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. A handful of defendants, including Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, have flipped on Trump, presumably to avoid long prison sentences of their own.

Trump’s allies argue the case is politically motivated “lawfare,” and Trump maintains he has done nothing wrong. (Read more from “Prosecutors Warn of Prison Sentences for Trump, Top Allies” HERE)

Federal Judge Rules that Challenge to Georgia’s Electronic Voting Must Go to Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg has ruled that a lawsuit against Georgia’s use of electronic voting machines must go to a non-jury trial in January.

According to 11 Alive News, the federal judge’s ruling will require Georgia’s secretary of state to defend the state’s utilization of electronic voting prior to the upcoming presidential primary election in the state. The lawsuit questions whether Georgia’s current system of computerized voting is safe or whether it is vulnerable to potential hacking incidents.

According to The Associated Press, Totenberg’s recent 135-page ruling stems from a lawsuit that was originally filed by activists in Georgia who want the state to use paper ballots instead of electronic voting machines.

A lawsuit was filed in 2017 against touchscreen voting machines used by the state for 15 years, later modifying to challenge the state’s 2019 election system, claiming it was vulnerable. The state requested a judge’s ruling against the lawsuit, but federal judge Totenberg ruled that there were “material facts in dispute” that required a trial. A bench trial is scheduled for January 9, and both parties are encouraged to work together to resolve the matter.

“The Court cannot wave a magic wand in this case to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case,” she stated. “But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public.” (Read more from “Federal Judge Rules that Challenge to Georgia’s Electronic Voting Must Go to Trial” HERE)

High School Football Coach Fired for On-Field Baptism Ceremony

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Georgia high school football coach was fired after he held a baptism service for 20 of his players on school grounds last month, according to a report.

The superintendent of Tattnall County High School announced coach Isaac Ferrell’s firing after a video uploaded to the team’s official Facebook page showed players being baptized in a tub by a local pastor.

Footage shows Pastor Gary Few directing players individually to sit in a large black tub of water before saying to them, “I baptize you now, my brother, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

The pastor then ducks their heads under the water while surrounding players cheer in support.

The Oct. 23 incident outraged some community members, eventually leading one to inform a group called The Freedom from Religion Foundation. (Read more from “High School Football Coach Fired for On-Field Baptism Ceremony” HERE)

Parents Stunned After Restaurant Hits Them With This $50 Surcharge

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia restaurant has found itself at the center of a viral controversy after a couple complained about being hit with a $50 surcharge at the establishment for their children’s alleged “loud” behavior.

A Reddit post showing Toccoa Riverside Restaurant’s posted rules blew up last week, with thousands of commenters stunned at the strict gratuity requirements. . .

This restaurant charges you extra for bad parenting

After dessert, some of the parents took their children down to the water near the restaurant, Landmann recounted. That’s when Toccoa’s owner, Tim Richter, approached their table to allegedly berate the adults for their parenting skills.

“He has the menu in hand and he’s showing us where it talks about the fee,” Landmann recalls. “At first I thought he was gonna compliment us and be like, ‘But you won’t be charged because your kids were so well-behaved.’”

However, Richter informed them of an extra $50 charge and apparently yelled at them. (Read more from “Parents Stunned After Restaurant Hits Them With This $50 Surcharge” HERE)

Man Slapped With $1.4m Speeding Ticket for Driving 35 Mph Over Limit

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A man caught speeding down a Georgia freeway was bewildered when cops slapped him with a $1.4 million ticket last month.

Connor Cato was driving home through Savannah on Sept. 2 when the Georgia State Patrol caught him doing 90 in a 55-mile-per-hour zone, he admitted to WSAV-TV.

While he expected a hefty fine, Cato was astounded when he was handed the seven-figure charge.

He called the court, assuming the fee was a typo, but reportedly was told he either had to pay the sum or appear in court.

“‘$1.4 million,’ the lady told me on the phone. I said, ‘This might be a typo’ and she said, ‘No, sir, you either pay the amount on the ticket or you come to court on Dec. 21 at 1:30 p.m.,’” he told the local outlet.

Trump Co-Defendant Pleads Guilty In Georgia Election Interference Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

A co-defendant in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case pleaded guilty Friday, according to multiple reports.

Scott Hall, who faced seven charges in relation to his alleged breach of a Coffee County election office, became the first of the 19 co-defendants to accept a plea deal on Friday before Judge Scott McAfee, according to The Hill. Hall, who owns a bail bond business, pleaded guilty to five charges.

“You understand that you’re pleading guilty today because you believe there exists a factual basis that supports the plea, and you are pleading guilty because you are, in fact, guilty?” McAfee asked Hall, according to The Hill.

Trump and his co-defendants were indicted on charges including violating Georgia’s “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations” (RICO) Act in August.

According to authorities, the investigator with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office accidentally fired a shot, hitting herself in the leg.

Trump to Headline $100K-Per-Plate Bedminster Fundraiser for Rudy Giuliani’s Legal Defense

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump will headline a $100,000-a-plate dinner for his Georgia election fraud co-defendant Rudy Giuliani next month, aimed at raising money for the former mayor’s mounting legal bills.

An invite to the Sept. 7 event at the 77-year-old former president’s Bedminster, N.J., country club notes the six-figure admission price to an evening “round table with President Trump and Mayor Giuliani” to be followed by “dinner with America’s Mayor.”

The event is being organized by the Giuliani Defense political action committee, according to CNBC.

The fundraiser is expected to be attended by at least a dozen guests and raise nearly $1 million, the outlet reported Wednesday.

Giuliani, 79, reportedly has racked up nearly $3 million in legal expenses related to criminal investigations, private lawsuits and legal disciplinary proceedings as a consequence of his efforts to keep Trump in office after his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, according to the New York Times.

Trump on Georgia Indictment: Continuation of a Witch Hunt (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that the Georgia indictment and others are all part of the same “witch hunt.”

Anchor Larry Kudlow said, “We’re here to talk about the economy, what’s gone wrong and how you can fix it, but I do think you should have a chance to talk about this crazy Georgia indictment. I know you gave an interview with Fox Digital. It was a good interview. You said you saw darkness, but you also seem to see some optimism in the potential outcome. I thought we just see what you had to say about that.”

Trump said, “Sure. It’s a witch-hunt. It is just a continuation of a witch-hunt. They want to silence you, really silence you. And they mean silence.” (Read more from “Trump on Georgia Indictment: Continuation of a Witch Hunt (VIDEO)” HERE)

Homeowner: Squatters Who Broke Into My House in February Are Still Living There — And Cops Arrested Me After I Called 911 on Them

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia homeowner told WSB-TV that squatters who broke into his residence in February are still living there — and that police arrested him after he called 911 on the alleged intruders.

Adding more insult to injury, Tim Arko added to the station that code enforcement actually cited him for not properly maintaining the home he can’t legally access.

Arko explained to WSB that just days after tenants vacated his East Lake rental home in back in the winter, he arrived there to find not only that someone had broken in, but also that a gun was being pointed at him after he pulled into the driveway.

“I just jumped the fence and ran,” he told the station. “I didn’t know what else to do.”

Arko added to WSB that he called 911 that day in February, but police took him into custody instead. (Read more from “Homeowner: Squatters Who Broke Into My House in February Are Still Living There — And Cops Arrested Me After I Called 911 on Them” HERE)
