Georgia court posts then removes document detailing charges against Trump

I’m concerned that they will use this leak to somehow claim a mistrial since the charges were leaked before they selected the jury, and they’ll win the appeal.

16-10-20 - given that we’re all learning about Georgia law tonight, it was fascinating to read that they also have a “lying to the government” law like the one that so many people cite in federal cases

Is it only 12 felonies? It seems to me the left number may be counts charged, or some site really sucks displaying out of sequence row #s

I like that this post appears to have negative one downvotes. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

I’m gonna make my own social media platform that has up and down arrows that generate random numbers next to a message like “At least some people probably like this.” And if you post too frequently a banner appears at the top of all the pages with your IP address. Also viruses. Just lots and lots of viruses.

You could have down votes too but it means you’re down with the post, so it’s a good thing.

What about side votes?

IANAL. It sounds silly to me too have felonies and “serious felonies”. All felonies seem pretty serious to me!

In this case the serious felony requires a minimum of 20 years in prison

Another way to rank them how other states have first/second/third degree felonies.

Kind of like how burglary is a bad, but not as bad as murder or rape.

Apparently “serious felony” is a real thing in Georgia. Regardless.

Why does this look more like a receipt from my auto mechanic?

stevo , 10 months ago

is this a strategic leak to further spin the accused out of control? more rope?

Riccosuave , 10 months ago

I doubt that. It’s government bureaucracy, people make mistakes, even the court.

FuglyDuck , 10 months ago

you’re probably right. but I like the idea of it being a strategic move to troll the orange turd enough to disregard your comment.

don’t take my idle fantasies from me.

JustZ , 10 months ago

I’d bet it was automated.

BoobiesUnite , 10 months ago

i am just worried this mistake could lead to a mistrial

Probably just some clerk getting too eager to finally put the screws to the old, stupid windbag after seeing how far ahead of schedule they're running.

The fact that he'll spin out even harder is a bonus.

The government automate stuff. That’s funny, (fed)

The Fulton County document, first reported by Reuters, includes Trump’s name and lists the case status as “open.” It’s dated Aug. 14, and timed-stamped 12:39 p.m. The document lists 12 felony counts and one serious felony count for violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, Act. According to Reuters, charges have not been filed against Trump.
