You can almost set your watch to a new Trump indictment dropping whenever more damning evidence is released implicating the Biden crime family as a corrupt business enterprise protected by the Department of Justice.
On Monday, former President Donald Trump was delivered a fourth set of criminal charges when a Georgia grand jury, led by the highly-partisan Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, issued an indictment accusing him of efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
After the court botched the release of the indictment, actually posting it in error to the court’s website hours before the grand jury had even concluded its session, the information eventually began to trickle out. As with all the Trump indictments, the Georgia case in Fulton County is riddled with holes and generally appears to be a sloppy mess of throwing everything at the wall to see what might stick.
As Shawn Fleetwood at the Federalist writes, the surface of the case appears damning until you look closer at the actual charges:
While a cursory reading of the melodramatic accusations made at the indictment’s outset will undoubtedly give America’s regime-approved media the vapors, a deep dive into the full filing reveals just how egregious the charges really are. To justify her claim that Trump and his associates engaged in a “conspiracy” to overturn the 2020 election results, Willis cites numerous acts of indictees engaging in lawful free speech that she asserts helped further this so-called conspiracy.
In Act 22, for example, Willis cites a Dec. 3, 2020, tweet from Trump telling his followers to tune into One America News Network (OANN) to watch state legislative hearings on Georgia’s elections. According to Willis, this constitutes “an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
There are numerous other examples of what the DA calls “conspiracy” that are acts such as asking for someone’s phone number or imploring supporters to watch a television interview.

It gets even more weak as the indictment continues. Other strange examples of so-called conspiratorial acts include asking Georgia voters to call their state representatives in support of Trump:
Other examples of perfectly legitimate actions or rhetoric Willis cited as a “furtherance” of alleged crimes include a Dec. 7, 2020, retweet by Giuliani of a tweet encouraging Georgians to “call [their] state Senate House Reps ask them to sign the petition for special session” to ensure the state has “free & fair elections.”
The insanity continues with more examples of how badly this case is being twisted to resemble some sort of conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election:

Asking for signature verification of ballots is a conspiracy to overthrow the election as well:

There are plenty of other examples you can read here, the list goes on and on.
These charges are reaching at best and a bastardization of the justice system being used to bludgeon and harass the top political opponent of President Joe Biden at worst, as Fleetwood concludes:
At the end of the day, Willis’ sham indictment is nothing more than a blatant, Democrat-backed attempt to criminalize Americans’ First Amendment right to free speech. It’s not just designed to silence Trump and his associates, but anyone who dares to go against Democrats and their Marxist agenda.
Much like the other indictments leveled against Trump, Willis’ charges are just a preview of what leftist politicians across the country want to do to everyday Americans. If they can do it to him and other notable Republicans, they can — and will — do it to you.
Most average Americans could not stand a tiny fraction of the harassment Trump has endured which is what prevents them from speaking out. They are afraid to be harassed for their political views by a hostile justice system being used by Democrats to advance their political agenda and attack their opponents.
If there was ever “election interference,” something Democrats frequently accused Russia of doing in 2016 with no evidence, this has to be the textbook definition in 2023.
