Prosecutors Have ‘Numerous Avenues’ To Charge Trump For Georgia Election Crimes

A new report by the Brookings Institution finds Donald Trump is in “substantial” legal jeopardy for his efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. While the criminal investigation is still ongoing, Joshua Matz, who co-authored the report, tells Lawrence O’Donnell “the public record powerfully supports the criminal charges.”

Charge him, we are tired of all the if's, and's, and but's.

[alfredeneuman]

The American public keeps hearing of crimes and many have tired of Trump, but nothing is getting done.

[mackjrbell]

Then do it already. He's already plotting for 2022.

[ulfseidl]

Its Simple: Put him to jail for tax fraud (10 years or so) then you have time to investigate the other crimes where you need more proof. But the point is that he is behind bars!!!

[nathanbrady]

I mean, we literally have an audio recording of him telling an election official to find votes or "bad things could happen." That's a mob boss level threat right there.

[walkerhjk]

All this talk has been going on for ages but nothing seems to be actually done about it.

[cerealeater]

They need to do it and stop talking about what they could do.

[ronaldsander]

Then do it! Charge Trump! Stop talking about it and do it. Christ, I'm getting tired of this.

[Dvenchy]

Charge him already! He's on freaking tape breaking the law. What is the hold up? If a Mafia type had done this they'd already be locked up.

[debiallen]

So tired of waiting for someone to charge him for all hes corruptly done. Anyone else would of been locked away years ago. What the heck is the A.G. doing? Charge Him for all of his dirty derds.

[josephmurdock]

Clear and present danger... Arrest him and give us some justice.

[vmtz]

Numerous avenues? Stop all this ponderous back and forth trying to prove he intended to incite insurrection, when it became violent he was guilty of complicity. He stated his intention as such when he told McCarthy the mob was more loyal to him than McCarthy and refused to do anything.

[wcolautti]

I’m so tired of listening to the media speculate over whether Trump will be held accountable or not. Just arrest the man - just the very image of him getting arrested would be something.

[TheMrZombified]

Maybe this is why, trump is having “rallies” in September. Already getting his base all worked up for him.

[SpideySenses-gbgi]

MR GARLAND DO YOUR JOB AND HIS CONSPIRATORS FOR PRISON ASAP .

[johncrowe]

Yeah But When he Gets Away with it in Public We All See there's No Such Thing as Justice. Period.

[ek-]

So, would someone start charging him already? The longer you wait, the more seditious influence he can and will use top subvert the process. Tie him up in court NOW!!!

[SG-tffx]

So now we just procrastinate and give him the power he needs to make us an authoritarian, autocracy....Guess we will see if D.O.J is really for justice and truth..

[johnhorter]

So there are laws, but laws don't mean diddly if they're not enforced, and not surprising, they haven't been enforced.

[franvarga]

So how long does it take to get indictments for crimes that were committed 8 months ago?
