Summary

Among the many legal challenges that former President Donald Trump is facing, is the RICO case in Georgia, wherein state prosecutors are alleging that President Trump led a conspiracy to overturn the state’s 2020 election results. 🇺🇸 Epoch Times 25¢ Sale: https://ept.ms/RomanSale1

Last Friday, there was a fascinating development in the case that perhaps revealed what the prosecution is really up to here in this case. There was a six-hour hearing in Fulton County, during which lawyers for the prosecution (as well as the lawyers for President Trump) argued about the timeframe of the trial.

Here is the basic outline of what was revealed in this hearing: on the one side, you have Trump’s legal team trying to push this trial back as much as possible—ideally pushing it past the date of the 2024 election. And if President Trump were to win that election, the trial would effectively be pushed back for another four years after that.

On the flip side, however, the state prosecutors are trying to set the trial date right before the election, and have the trial run essentially in tandem with the election, all the way through 2024, claiming that this will not impede President Trump’s ability to campaign.

But last Friday, there was a fascinating development in this particular case, a development

0:33.0

that perhaps revealed what the prosecution is truly up to.

0:36.6

And also, it's a development that, for one reason or another, the mainstream legacy news

outlets in this country have just decided to not really report on.

0:45.8

And so, let's go through the development together.

Last Friday, which was December 1st, there was a six-hour long hearing over in Fulton County.

1:00.8

And during the six-hour hearing, you had lawyers for the prosecution, as well as lawyers

1:04.8

for President Trump, both arguing about the time frame of this trial, meaning that they

1:09.7

were in court arguing about when exactly this trial should take place.

1:14.7

Now on the one hand, you had the prosecution, the state prosecution, pushing for a trial

1:18.9

start date of August 2024, which just for your reference, would be three months before

1:23.6

the actual presidential election.

1:25.6

And so, during the back and forth hearing, the prosecution said the District Attorney

of Fulton County, Ms. Fanny Willis, quote, has no interest in interfering or getting involved

1:34.8
