Fulton County Special Grand Jury -we have a DATE & the DA’s letter to the Special Agent in Charge, Atlanta field office
There is nothing patriotic about Trump’s Jan 29th stump speech. He knows what he is doing. He has become increasingly unhinged. I hope he’s terrified about Justice coming for him.
Late last night I published the following article and some might have overlooked the subsection where CNN’s Jim Acosta rightfully sounded the alarm. The video of his short segment is included in the article below
As I noted last night -I had the TV on in my home office for “back ground noise” and I had to rewind the DVR to make sure I had heard Trump’s comments correctly. What I value is how CNN’s Jim Acosta married Trump’s Jan 6, 2021 incitement of domestic terrorist to Trump’s unhinged January 29, 2022 Texas stump speech. I’m sure you can find a better quality video but just in case this is the aforementioned segment, which was included in the January 30, 2022 article embedded above. But I’d like to explain something to you - note the three areas Trump specifically encouraged his supporters to target:
Washington DC, New York and Atlanta…what do they have in common?
Well the prosecutors -New York AG, Washington DC AG and Fulton County DA -all three are African American prosecutors. Racist much? I mean think about the lack of self awareness and the epitome of Trump’s White Privilege;
“lf these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to havein this country the biggest protests we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in NewYork, in Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt.”
…Presidential Pardon Power…
SCOTUS has long held that a pardon is “an act of grace” and this is one of the powers our Constitution solely vests with the President of the United States… in short it’s not reviewable. Conversely yes you could make a solid argument that pardons are reviewable if there’s a bribe or an effort to obstruct Justice…but there’s very little case law to support these claims. Have Joe Arpaio Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Mike Flynn’s pardons been challenged or voided? Of course not. So I stand behind my assertion that there’s really limited case law for pardons and obstructing Justice.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
To be clear in the three page letter from the Fulton County DA’s office to the Special Agent in Charge (SAiC) for the FBI Atlanta field office there are a lot of new facts that were disclosed in her letter - she’s ask in two specific actions from the FBI. See page 2 last paragraph.
Fulton County DA letter to the FBI
By now I’m certain many are aware of the recently published letter from the Fulton County DA’s Office to the Special Agent in Charge -FBI Atlanta Field Office. I’d like to highlight some important parts that some in the media are overlooking. For Example - I’d like you to pay close attention to the opening sentence. To date I believe this is the first time Fulton County DA has ever stated publicly she’s “conducting a criminal investigation” …
I am conducting a criminal investigation of former president Trump AND his Associates
I now draw your attention to Page 1, first paragraph last sentence —which reads in part:
We have a date for the Special Grand Jury…… on May2, 2022, a Fulton County Special Purpose Grand Jury will convene as the next stage of this investigation.. My staff and I will not be influenced or intimidated by anyone asthis investigation moves forward.
First Disclosure -several individuals have already made threats to the Fulton County DA and her staff..
Nothing and I mean nothing is patriotic by transmitted actual threats to public servants. The individuals who have threatened the Fulton County DA’s Office and her Staff -must face the full weight of our criminal Justice system. Period. Full Stop.
…My staff and I have already made adjustments to accommodate security concerns during the course of this investigation, considering the communications we have received from persons unhappy with our commitment to fulfill our duties. We are also working with Fulton County officials about the need for additional security measures as the investigation progresses.
…Security concerns were escalated this weekend bythe rhetoric of former President Trump at a public event in Conroe, Texas that was broadcast and covered by national media outlets and shared widely on social media. His statements were undoubtedly watched by millions.
This rhetoric is more alarming in light of his statements at the same event regarding those convicted of crimes, including violence, for actions at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. He stated that if elected President in 2024, he may pardon people who have been convicted of crimesrelatedtoillegal acts related to the attack in the U.S. Capitol…
Fulton County DA is requesting the FBI conduct an Immediate Risk Assessment…
…to be clear a risk assessment is a mandatory step and the Fulton County DA’s January 30, 2022 letter/request is absolutely correct. Particularly given the dangerous rhetoric that will undoubtedly be viewed as Trump once again inciting violence.
Additionally I genuinely wish the Mainstream Media would take the 2 seconds to redact the email addresses and DID (Direct Dial) numbers -DA Willis and her staff have already received numerous threats (most likely) from Trump supporters…
I am asking that you immediately conducta risk assessmentof the Fulton County Courthouse and Government Center, and that you provide protective resources to include intelligence and federal agents. I will make myself available for such meeting at your convenience. It is imperative that these resourcesare in place well in advance of the convening of the Special Purpose Grand Jury on May 2, 2022….
Again you can access the Fulton County DA’s January 30, 2020 letter via Scribd you can also read additional articles previously published; Feb 2021 here, Jan 2022 here and the most recent article found here
Also your prerequisite daily saltwater therapy - when Toby & Togo decided to photo bomb my ocean sunrise video…after all these months this still cracks me up.
At any rate I’m hitting I95 shortly to make it back to the DC area and I’ll likely be out of pocket until 7PM-ish but I wanted my readers to have access to that 3 page letter and I had a few minutes in the State Senate Anteroom before the 3PM hearing starts…
Trump’s language is both dangerous and criminal. I hope the FBI and DOJ are listening and keeping track of him
This. All of it. He is a clear and present danger to our democracy, a national security and hell a global security risk too when you think about it. His rhetoric inflames his followers which in turn, oozes out to duly elected officials just doing their due diligence justly. Just disgusting.
