Seemingly out of nowhere this week, former President Donald Trump fired off a series of deranged, disjointed truths about former Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman.
As my colleague Steve Benen recounted Wednesday, Freeman and Shaye Moss, her daughter, were accused by Trump, Rudy Giuliani and others of tampering with ballots at Atlantas State Farm Arena on Election Day in 2020. But federal and state investigators found no evidence to support those accusations, and at least one Justice Department official told Trump the claims were false......
A more likely explanation begins in Georgia, not on Capitol Hill. As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday, the special grand jury convened by Georgia's Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is wrapping up its investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
According to the newspaper:
Could developments in Fulton County be why Trump suddenly lashed out again at Freeman? And will Freeman seek compensation for all he has put her through? After all, she provided this heartbreaking testimony before the Jan. 6 committee:
That Freemans life was upended because of her service was not lost on the Jan. 6 committee. At its June 21 hearing last year, Rep. Adam Schiff expressed how sorry committee members are for what Freeman and her daughter endured, remarking, No election workers should be subject to such heinous treatment just for doing their job.
Their sacrifice hasn't been lost on President Joe Biden either. On Friday, the second anniversary of the Capitol attack, he will award the Presidential Citizens Medal to Freeman, Moss and 10 others who also demonstrated courage and selflessness during a moment of peril for our nation and performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.

According to the newspaper:
The panel could vote within weeks on recommendations, including whether Willis should press any charges, according to the outlet. If a majority of jurors can agree on a course of action, it will be included in a final report, known as a special presentment.....

There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States to target you? The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one. But he targeted me, Lady Rudy, a small business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen who stand up to help Fulton County run an election in the middle of the pandemic. ...
Now I wont even introduce myself by my name anymore. I get nervous when I bump into someone I know in the grocery store who says my name. Im worried about whos listening. I get nervous when I have to give my name for food orders. Im always concerned of whos around me. Ive lost my name, and Ive lost my reputation. ...
Ive lost my sense of security, all because a group of people, starting with number 45 and his ally Rudy Giuliani, decided to scapegoat me and my daughter Shaye to push their own lies about how the presidential election was stolen.....

TFG needs to be indicted and in addition added to Freeman's lawsuit against Rudy
