Donald Trump’s Georgia Indictment Will Finish Him, If It Gets There

<p>I still&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/the-millennial-republican/why-trump-wont-do-jail-time-12c7615f183a" rel="noopener">don&rsquo;t think Donald Trump will go to jail</a>&nbsp;for any of the four (current) indictments against him. With that said, the Georgia indictment is the strongest to date. There&rsquo;s one main reason why it will finish him once and for all, if allowed to reach a jury verdict and sentencing.</p> <p>Some argue that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vox.com/trump-investigations/23832341/trump-charges-prison-time-sentence-indictments" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the federal 2020 election case</a>&nbsp;is the most important. You know the one. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">brief drafted by Jack Smith&rsquo;s team</a>, filled with unnamed co-conspirators, accusing Trump of conspiracy to defraud the United States, among other charges.</p> <p><strong>This case will be challenging for Smith&rsquo;s team.</strong></p> <p>It&rsquo;s a case of first impression. The statute in question has never been used in the context of criminalizing an attempt to overturn an election. It&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thefederalcriminalattorneys.com/federal-conspiracy" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">often used</a>&nbsp;when there&rsquo;s money or property involved (think bank fraud, mail fraud, securities fraud, etc.).</p> <p>And most importantly,&nbsp;<strong>Smith&rsquo;s team will need to get inside Trump&rsquo;s head</strong>. They will need to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump&nbsp;<strong><em>was aware</em></strong>&nbsp;(that he had knowledge) of the unlawfulness of his plan.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-political-prism/donald-trumps-georgia-indictment-will-finish-him-if-it-gets-there-7a342e8ead4e"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
