The office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to CNN on Monday that it has started an investigation into former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the state's election results, including a phone call the former President made to Raffensperger.

Walter Jones, a spokesperson for Raffensperger, told CNN in a written statement that "the Secretary of State's office investigates complaints it receives. The investigations are fact-finding and administrative in nature. Any further legal efforts will be left to the Attorney General." Reuters was first to report on the investigation.

A Georgia prosecutor's office is taking the extraordinary January 2 phone call between Trump and Raffensperger "seriously as far as a potential case," as it weighs whether to pursue criminal charges of election fraud against the former President, a source familiar with the office said.

Newly elected Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to make some type of announcement on the matter "one way or another" this month, the source said.

One former federal prosecutor told CNN it's clear the state can make a case against Trump.

"If you if you listen to the call, it sounds like any other call that you might have with an organized crime ring or a drug conspiracy ring or something. And that is that you've got almost code talking about -- this is what I need you to do, if you could just help me out here," Moore told CNN.

Now, who's into conspiracy theories? They'll need to do better than that.

I guess we'll wait and see what the liberals in the state government of Georgia make of all this.

Conspiracy theories don't usually rely on hard evidence. In this case there are the calls and transcripts of the phone calls in question where Trump makes demands and threats so that that Georgia officials find him votes and declare him the winner.

Trump seems to have misunderstood how the law works. You can't just extort someone but not say the actual descriptive threats and get a free pass. Unless you're being tried by Republicans in a senate impeachment trial of course, in which case you can.

I'd be pretty disappointed if the former president's perfect phone call to Raffensperger was legal.

The idea of the president leaning on states to change election results should be pretty disturbing to anyone who values our form of govt.

The fomer administration was a misogynistic, racist regime with authocratic tendencies with a twice divorced, three times married man who paid silence money to porn stars, mocked disabled journalists and wasn't bothered to see his VP threatened with a noose.

Some christians valued that kind of government.

Get over what? Potential election fraud? This needs to be investigated.

Lol.

Get over what? Their hate for Trump and stop trying to twist him attempting to stop election fraud into election fraud.

Sounds just like something the angry left might try, but again, good luck with that...we shall see how it goes.

Virtually all of these Georgia elected officials are Republicans and Trump supporters.

Will you prove all who voted for Trump liked those things about him, and that his regime was all you say it was.

All we have is talk at this point.

And do you know anyone who hasn't sinned?
