Lawrence: Georgia is the indictment that made Donald Trump shut up

MSNBC’S Lawrence O’Donnell details how Donald Trump canceling a press event to push election lies about the 2020 election in Georgia shows he is “terrified” of District Attorney Fani Willis’s indictment. Trump has failed to defend the acts of “racketeering activity” and election lies he is charged with that his lawyers “will never be to defend.”

Fun fact:
The Missouri River is America's 2nd largest river with Maga Tears being the largest.

Thank goodness for the work of Fani Willis and her team, for her courage and perseverence. Love your reporting Lawrence O'Donnell.

[yolandabyers]

God bless Fani Willis and her family and prosecutorial team! I pray for their protection and strength. 🙏🏾 😊

[neovirtuality]

Please everyone read the Georgia indictment it's truly insightful. You will love it.

[BeachBum]

Thank you, Fani Willis!!! You're an American hero!!

[troywalker]

Thank you Ms. Willis. The country appreciates you and your staff.

Wherever he ends up after he is convicted, I just want them to muzzle him. We don't need his evil, polarizing, and inciting comments out on the public airways!

[Jen-urut]

On the other hand, he intimidated a witness today on social media. So not exactly following the DC judge’s orders.

[JLM]

Fani Willis has cemented her place in American history

If he had a report exonerating him then he’d submit it to the court and get exonerated. Instead what he has is a handful of talking points that he’ll spoon feed to a crowd without a single collective rational thought amongst them.

[petefl]

Terrified, yes, but still being allowed to ruin innocent people's lives, lock him up and shut him up until his trial(s).

[ArtyFactual_Intelligence]

Lawrence...that was outstanding from the very beginning!

[liberationstory]

Well, so much for that.😮 And we all were waiting with bated breath to hear about this overwhelming and magnificent evidence... So are his attorneys I would imagine ⚖️

[johnm]

The beauty of the Georgia indictments is they are not pardonable. The minimum jail sentence is 5 years.

[johnscott]

Love Lawrence's dedication & passion, he is highly informed & competent & has an Old School elegance of manner.
I am going to thoroughly enjoy his dissertations on (& dissection of) Donnie ..

[lilafrazer]

Its more terrifying that theres a possibility that he might NOT go to prison...he is a real threat to humanity

[k.morrighan-buenafe]

I swear, they play the WRONG PART of the Georgia trump call. What they need to focus on and pick apart is a few moments BEFORE that oft played clip: the part where Trump spells out ESCALATING THREAT.
“That’s a crime, I’m INFORMING you it’s a crime, you are doing it, there is gonna be a lot of trouble, your lawyer will be in trouble too… “
It’s the threat of WHAT HE WILL HAVE DONE to them if they DONT do what he asks. And that has not ever been explicitly said because they just play the ASK, not the THREAT BEFORE IT

[nancy-hvwf]

I absolutely love listening to your report on Trump. You tell it straight, and that matters. Thank you

[mattsymonds]

Lawrence looking so happy these days! :D

With the evidence of Trump's phone call Ms, Willis had no choice but to investigate and ultimately charge Trump. She has a job to do protecting the citizens of Georgia from criminals. She is a courageous young women for her actions and my respect for her integrity is bigly appreciated. Criminals always try to blame someone else.
