Trump Moves To Toss Georgia Criminal Case

On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump filed to dismiss his criminal election interference charges in Georgia following his election victory. 

The new filing aims to toss Trump’s fourth and final criminal case, which accuses him of entering a monthslong unlawful conspiracy to overturn President Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia.  

“Accordingly, well before the inauguration of President Trump, this Court should inquire into its jurisdiction to continue to hear this appeal,” Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead attorney in Georgia, wrote in the filing. 

“That inquiry should result in this Court deciding that both this Court and the trial court lack jurisdiction to entertain any further criminal process against President Trump as the continued indictment and prosecution of President Trump by the State of Georgia are unconstitutional,” Sadow continued. “President Trump respectfully submits that upon reaching that decision, this Court should dismiss his appeal for lack of jurisdiction with directions to the trial court to immediately dismiss the indictment against President Trump.” 

The Georgia case has not yet reached trial and for months has remained frozen as an appeals court takes up Trump’s argument that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) should be disqualified over her romance with a prosecutor on the case who was then forced to step aside. 

Trump’s two federal indictments have already been tossed, and the former president is attempting to do the same in his New York hush money case.

    I was under the impression and assumption regarding the LAW and the legal understanding that a trial of your peers required that the trial be a “speedy trial” for any US Citizen and should NOT be delayed for any reason …..(Oh! unless you are a Democratic Lawyer). That is a “tragedy of justice” for the last 4 to 8 years or more and especially regarding President Trump and many others. Dem Lawyers are CORRUPT to the core!!!!! Every US Citizen has the RIGHT to a speedy trial…..not 4 to 8 years and beyond!!!!

    There should be “lack of Jurisdiction for the State of Florida to decide a Federal Election case.

    President Trump was NOT attempting to overthrow Joe Biden’s “presidency;” Rather, he was attempting to establish FRAUD – a STOLEN election, which it was and is. I is to be remembered that Fani Willis’ ONLY platform when running for election, was I’LL GET TRUMP.
    Why all these officials HATE Trump so much is a mystery, or is it? Is it Hate or FEAR; vouch for the latter

    Trump has the right to a Speedy Trial! This case has been going on for years and it is a sham. A Kangaroo Court! A travesty of Justice! A Political Witch Hunt! A Disgrace to America! Biden’s Administration should be court marshalled for charging Trump with all these crimes! When the truth is discovered, all those that participated in this sham should be jailed for life!!
