Love to see it, any news on what the indictments were for?

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not yet:

A grand jury in Atlanta handed up an indictment late Monday in a Georgia prosecutor’s investigation into efforts by Donald J. Trump and some of his key allies to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

But its details — including who is named in the indictment and what charges were brought — were not immediately clear. After a long day of the grand jurors hearing evidence, the full indictment is expected to be released later in the evening.

the reports I'm seeing (guardian, for example) are saying 10 people are going to be receiving indictments. we don't know how many more felonies to tack on to Trumps record-setting list of indictments, just yet.

[–] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This says 10 indictments, and it's 4 minutes old.

the OP is a stack of papers with an easily spoofed cover letter. It's hardly authoritative on it's own. I also can't make out any specific names. we're waiting for the details to become public. (so far as I know,) until then, it's all speculation. here is the guardian report that is apparently being updated in real time

edit: CNN has the indcitment, (though I can't verify it directly from Fulton County.)

41 counts of specific charges. My favorite belonging to trump is "impersonating a public official"

[–] runjun@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Impersonating a public official. Hahaha holy shit

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

RICO BABY!

That's what I wanted to see. Now to read the other 40

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

so, before you get too excited, chump is only charged with 13.

If this were for sale at the book store, I'd buy it. Even as an audio book on Audible... I'd buy it. Narated by Obama? I'd buy it twice!

[–] bestturtleboy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

This is pure gold, nice find and thanks for posting!

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Still waiting on them to be processed and published but should happen before midnight EST according to the guardian
