Previously unknown evidence added 
GA indicts Trump and 18 others in this detailed story from SALON with the below headline and note that National Security Attorney Mark Zaid tweeted and called it a: “True MAGA moment: Make Attorneys Get Attorneys.”
That is the new catch
phrase for Trump's MAGA loyalist supporters:
“Make Attorneys Get
Attorneys” – Trumpers face prison in Georgia — some are already starting to
turn”
Trump on Monday (August 14) was indicted alongside 18
alleged co-conspirators over his efforts to overturn
the 2020 election in Georgia, raising the possibility that some of those
charged could cooperate with prosecutors.
Related is this short video that shows those indicted along with Trump
who are all well-known persons such as: Mark Meadows; Jeffrey Clark; Rudy
Giuliani; John Eastman; Kenneth Chesebro; Sidney Powell; Jenna Ellis; Ray Smith;
and, Robert Cheeley.
A Fulton County grand jury late Monday night handed up
a 41-count indictment, including 13 charges against Trump.
Though different alleged co-conspirators were charged with varying crimes, all
19 are charged under the state's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
(RICO) statute.
The indictment says in part: “Trump and the other defendants conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County and elsewhere.” (Even describing it as a “criminal organization”).
DA
Fani Willis said in a late-night press conference that she plans to try
Trump and the 18 others together. She gave them until noon on August 25 to
surrender or face arrest.
FYI: Unlike other cases, there is no chance of a federal pardon in a state case.
The RICO statute
carries a minimum of five years in prison and those convicted cannot even be pardoned
by the governor.
NYU Law Prof. Melissa Murray tweeted:
“Given the 5 year min prison time is for RICO, that means lots of opportunities
for folks to flip and to cooperate.”
Former federal prosecutor Renato
Mariotti also tweeted: “Unlike Trump, the other
defendants aren't wealthy. They aren't raising money from donors to pay their
legal bills. Most people have their lives turned upside down by an indictment,
and plead guilty to avoid ruin.”
Some Trump allies appear to already be cooperating. The
indictment cites 30 unindicted co-conspirators involved in the scheme.
Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance tweeted: “The
phrase unindicted co-conspirator shows up at least 89 times in the Fulton
County indictment of Trump & others. DA Fani Willis may have some important
cooperating witnesses.”
Trump also has been charged in connection to the election
scheme by S/C Jack Smith and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. But it
seems that some of Trump's alleged co-conspirators in that case are already
starting to turn on each other (according to Rolling Stone).
Some of Trump's alleged unindicted conspirators have “sought
to distance themselves from the efforts of others, implicitly heaping the blame
for any potential criminal conduct onto fellow participants in Trump's
attempted coup.”
One Trump attorney
noted: “It is the please don't put me in jail, put that other guy in jail strategy that was sure to come up at some point or another.”
Attorneys for Giuliani and Chesebro have sought to blame others on the campaign's legal team or in Trump's orbit.
Trump's own lawyers have signaled that they plan to argue: “Trump
relied heavily on the advice of counsel.”
Rolling Stone also reported: “The possibility that one of
Trump's former advisers could turn state's witness and testify against either
him or his aides or close associates is already apparent to the twice-impeached
former president. This summer, Trump has asked some of his political and legal
advisers to name who — especially among those investigated or questioned by the
special counsel's office — they believe to be the most 'vulnerable' and likely to
crack under pressure from prosecutors.”

My 2 Cents: This story pretty much stands by itself… the only
remaining thing to keep in mind is that in order to protect our democracy, law
and order, and justice is simple: Trump and the other criminals must be
severely punished and pay for their crimes that were aimed and overthrowing the
country.
If not, then we will no
longer function as a free democratic nation. That’s all I have to say on this
at this time. Keep in mind along the way: “No one is above the law and
especially not Trump.”
