Georgia 2020 election inquiry may lead to prison sentences, prosecutor says

Source: Washington Post

Fulton County district attorney says her team has received allegations that serious crimes were committed

"The allegations are very serious. If indicted and convicted, people are facing prison sentences," Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis told The Washington Post.

No decision will be made for months on whether there will be indictments -- and, most notably, if Trump himself will face charges. At least 17 people have been notified they are targets of the criminal investigation, meaning they could eventually face charges. And more targets will be added to the list soon, Willis said in an interview Tuesday in her Atlanta office.

Willis would not discuss any of the targets by name and has not said if she's willing to charge the former president. Trump could be called to appear as a witness before the special grand jury that was convened this spring as part of the investigation, Willis said Tuesday.

So far, the group of known targets includes former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the state's 16 would-be Trump electors who created unofficial documents proclaiming Trump as the winner of Georgia's electoral votes, even though he lost the state. Lawyers for Giuliani and the electors have denied any wrongdoing. Lawyers for the electors say their clients followed the law and made clear they met as a contingency measure as they waited for a court to rule on a challenge to the Georgia vote.

Lindsey called Georgia's Sec. of State and asked him to throw away the votes from
black people who lived in Fulton County.

Now who of the 17 people are willing to go to prison to protect Rudy, Lindsey, or Trump?

There are just so many things that "may" happen. Wake me when something actually "does" happen.
