Trump's Army: Standing Back and Standing By

Just as in the days before January 6, 2021, when Trump told a despicable white supremacist group to "stand back and stand by," his MAGA army of extremists are ready to thwart justice in his criminal trials--just as they (thankfully) unsuccessfully tried to thwart democracy on January 6.

Trump has issued an all-caps warning that "If you go after me, I'm coming after you." 

And Trump has reason to believe his troglodytic supporters will do his bidding. They harassed poll workers. They threatened Georgia GOP officials. They illegally accessed voting machines. They lied and schemed in devious plans to overturn an election. After he told them to "fight like hell," they overran the Capitol in a scary and shameful act of cowardice and fealty.

Now that Trump has been criminally charged (after numerous grand juries found probable cause of criminal actions), his extremist MAGA army is at it again.

Word comes today that death threats have been made to judges overseeing Trump trials. Purported names and addresses of the brave Grand Jury members in Fulton County have been shared by Trump's minions--likely to change their lives forever. Trump's---yes--deplorable extremist backers (about whom disgraced AZ gubernatorial loser Kari Lake remarked all owned guns, btw) will undoubtedly try to do Trump's disgusting, twisted bidding in physical manisfestation.

Already, messages are shared (even on Trump's home for idiots, his TRUTH platform) talking about fighting for our country, which undoubtedly includes doing whatever it takes to protect "The Boss."

Let's hope the jury--or all FOUR juries, actually--are courageous enough to decide their verdicts on the basis of guilt or innocence, not on the fear of violence, once again, committed by Trump's extremist MAGA army.

The Straw that Breaks Trump's Back

As I read through Trump's Fani Willis indictments, my skepticism grew. 

Charge after charge assumed Trump pushed his election lies despite knowing otherwise. Almost halfway through the document's "Acts of Racketeering Activity" section, I still didn't see anything that could definitively pin something onto Donald J. Trump. Just more straw on a camel's back.

You see, Trump is essentially the poster child for plausible deniability. He would implore a mob, for example, to "fight" virtually dozens of times, but then say "peacefully and patriotically" once to cover his butt. And, to be honest, a jury might have a hard time believing Trump was smart enough to oversee a vast conspiracy. Additionally, Trump's law team (Eastman, in particular), would undoubtedly peddle the smoke and mirrors of the plot as simply exploiting ambiguity in the U.S. Constitution.

So, um, yeah, it didn't look promising for those seeking, finally, some accountability for Trump and his actions.

And then came "Act 108." That beautiful, wonderful, magical "Act 108."

"On or about the 31st day of December 2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP and JOHN CHARLES EASTMAN committed the felony offense of FILING FALSE DOCUMENTS..."

It seems that Donald John Trump signed a filed statement to Georgia containing some of his election lies--that poll personnel left their posts unattended, and that Georgia voters included felons, kids, those illegally/not registered, as well as thousands of the dead--after his attorney, Eastman, had emailed Trump's campaign that, um, he actually knew it contained falsehoods. 

Eastman knew. Trump's inner circle knew. Not a chance that Trump didn't. Not. A. Chance. And Trump signed the document anyway.

And, that, my friends, is a felony. 

And it also blows plausible deniably right out of the water.

Oh, it got better from there.

Trump's calls to pressure numerous Georgia officials to "find 11,780 votes," for example--repeating his lies that both his campaign and lawyer knew were false--added more charges. His actions to enlist Jeffrey Clark to draft a false letter to Georgia officials saying the DOJ found voting irregularities (EVEN if it wasn't sent), all constitute additional felonies in the Peach State. 

And they all can be pinned onto Donald John Trump. Not just one--but, like a zillion--straws on this particular camel.

It's still up to the Fulton County D.A.'s office to prove its case, of course, a case that looks as though it could bring some real accountability to Trump for his actions. A case  that, I believe, will finally break this camel's back.

And it's about time.
