It has been a few weeks since my last post. I have been watching and listening to get a clear understanding of what we can expect to happen in the very near future. There is a lot going on so I am going to attempt to layout what I believe will be happening.
First, let’s dispense with the obvious, DJT was arrested in Manhattan. The details of his indictment and arrest have been widely reported. But let’s get to the real meat of what is coming into focus. It is likely that by late June DJT and more than two dozen others will be indicted and arrested in the State of Georgia for illegal election interference, the ‘Fake Electors Conspiracy’ and, ‘Seditious Consipracy’ to overthrow the US Government.
Included among those you might expect to see indicted or plea bargain with prosecutors will be US Congress and Senate persons who consider themselves part of the MAGA and Freedom Caucus crowd, as well as former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Also Former Vice-President Mike Pence has been ordered by the Courts to testify before a Federal grand jury about his knowledge leading up to the events of January 6, 2021.
As I pulled this post together, Democrats have won two monumental elections that may just foreshadow the upcoming 2024 Presidential elections. In Wisconsin a race of the State Supreme Court was won by the liberal Democrat in the most expensive state judicial race in the history of the country. Over $50 million dollars was spent with the majority of those funds spent on the losing election denying MAGA candidate.
In the City of Chicago two Democrats vied for the position of Mayor with the more liberal of the two winning that race. There is a common issue here. MAGA White Christian Nationalists have grown increasingly more lawless, paternalistic, afraid of losing their preferential status in the country, and isolated with their guns.
In Tennessee two black Gen-Z legislator were expelled from their elected positions because they took a stand on the House Floor in support of students who protested at the State Capitol after three students and three staff members at a Christian school were gunned down. MAGA Republicans are willing to continue to take away the freedoms of citizens all for the sake of keeping authoritarian-like powers despite the will of the majority of the citizens.
Fulton County DA Fauni Willis has signaled that she will impanel a grand jury in May and if she decides to indict people those indictments will be announced in June. We already know that the special grand jury she put in place has recommend that over two dozen people who appeared before them committed perjury, but that special grand jury did not have the power to indict.
We now know that the Special Prosecutor appointed by US Attorney General Merrick Garland has three federal grand juries going right now, all of these involve DJT. As of this week every high ranking official believed to have knowledge of his actions to overturn the 2020 elections has been ordered to testify before one Jack Smith’s grand juries. In addition to these people, staff members at DJT’s Florida home and golf resort have been subpoenaed. At least four of DJT’s attorney’s in all these cases have also been ordered to testify before one or more of these federal grand juries.
Don’t just focus on DJT, when this is all said and done don’t be surprised to see a number of MAGA members of Congress and the Senate indicted for their roles in planning the Jan-6 insurrection. In the mean time, you should begin talking to your friends and associates about registering to vote if they are not currently registered. We need to find ways to actively work to get out the vote in 2024. Most of all, work on them to get out to vote early. I remind you again if we learned notthing else from the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat race, it is important to learn the candiates for every position on the ballot that affects your community.
Also, unless there is another pandemic, push early voting in person and not voting by mail. It turns out the far more ballots from areas where the minority population is large are rejected by up to 24% versus 8% in non-minority areas. Please make sure you view the attached YouTube videos and the article from the Hill to get more insight into basis of my comments on this post.
