CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A very special grand jury is likely to be convened.
A SPECIAL GRAND JURY IN GEORGIA COULD BE THE LATEST SPLITTING HEADACHE FOR TRUMP
The investigation into Trump and his allies’ attempts to overturn his loss in Georgia is reportedly ramping up.
The criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, part of his larger crusade to invalidate Joe Biden’s win at the time, appears to be gaining steam. Fani Willis, the Atlanta D.A. leading the inquiry, is expected to soon convene “a grand jury dedicated solely to the allegations of election tampering,” the New York Times reported Saturday, though the decision isn’t yet finalized.

Fani Willis has now requested a special grand jury.
In a Thursday letter to Christopher S. Brasher, chief judge of Fulton County’s Superior Court, Willis said the move was needed because a “significant number of witnesses and prospective witnesses have refused to cooperate with the investigation absent a subpoena requiring their testimony.”

Ask and ye shall receive
An Atlanta-area district attorney investigating former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia will be allowed to seat a special grand jury this spring.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis requested last week to seat a special grand jury starting May 2. Fulton County Superior Court judges approved the request on Monday.

You're saying you think that Trump asking the state governor (or whoever it was) to 'find' him 11,000+ votes was an attempt to stop election fraud? If so, why do you think so, and based on what?

Even so, it’s important to see it through. Having Trump under oath in a public trial alone would be priceless.
If e are to have a nation of laws, these things have to be pursued.

Frankly, I'm not confident they can, especially since so many of them buy the lie that the election was illegitimate in the first place. IF the result was fraudulent, then all Trump was trying to do was fix it, which isn't a crime. With most politicians I wouldn't worry, but the amount of devotion and loyalty some Trump supporters shows him scares me.

That would be worthy of the pen of Jonathon Swift. I hope we get to see it, the comedy value would be epic.

The special grand jury started juror selection today.
When potential grand jurors show up at an Atlanta courthouse Monday, they’ll find a television camera in the room and streets closed outside — nods to the intense public interest in the investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to pressure Georgia officials to overturn Joe Biden’s presidential election victory in the state.

Georgia official texted Mark Meadows as Trump badgered secretary of state to 'find' votes
As Donald Trump badgered Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on an hour-long call to "find" the votes necessary to flip the battleground state to Trump's column after the2020 election, a Raffensperger aide fired off a plea for help.
"Need to end this call," Jordan Fuchs, then the deputy secretary of state, said in a text message to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. "I don't think this will be productive much longer."
She added: "Let's save the relationship."
[interesting detail to add to the special grand jury. Since many witnesses are themselves politicians currently running for office, the DA will likely not interview them until after the primary election at the end of this month.]

Exclusive: Fulton County DA sends 'target' letters to Trump allies in Georgia investigation
In the latest sign that she is moving rapidly in her investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis has sent so-called target letters to prominent Georgia Republicans informing them they could be indicted for their role in a scheme to appoint alternate electors pledged to the former president despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state, according to legal sources familiar with the matter.
But details about the events in Georgia have attracted particular scrutiny, both by Willis’s grand jury and by the U.S. Department of Justice, whose prosecutors in Washington also recently subpoenaed the GOP electors from the state.
Among those details was an email from Robert Sinners, who served as the Trump campaign’s Election Day coordinator in Georgia, which was sent to the would-be electors on the day before the Dec. 14 meeting. In the email, Sinners urged them to act with “complete secrecy” and to refuse to speak to any members of the news media about what they were doing. If asked, they were to say they were attending a meeting with Jones and Beach, the two state senators.

I'm glad you asked! Further down in the article:
"Prosecutors appear to be focusing on the secrecy of the meeting as evidence of consciousness of guilt on the part of the Trump electors."
