In the dead of night, in a county where Joe Biden got 73% of the vote, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has indicted President Donald Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election – the fourth indictment brought against Trump in the last four months – all in the midst of the 2024 Presidential Election season. Essentially, Trump and 18 other “co-conspirators” are being persecuted prosecuted for saying they believed Trump won the Election – something about half the nation still believes.
