and make decisions in this office based on the fact and the law. the laws completely nonpartisan. that is how decisions are made in every case. to date this office has indicted over 12,000 cases. this is the 11th r.i.c.o. indictment. we followed the same process. we look at the facts, we look at the law and we bring charges. that is fulton county d.a. fani willis denying that the investigation is in any way partisan. donald trump is reportedly trying to fund raise off his latest indictment and his lawyers have predictably put out a statement trying to paint the indictment as a political act against a republican presidential candidate. but many of the key witnesses,
well, i ve listened to a lot of legal legal experts talk about that tonight and alan dershowitz and others said that rico can get you to the courtroom can get you to the trial, but really doesn t help you wanna peel perhaps, and sometimes falls apart. um you have to look through all the specifics inside this indictment, and we re just getting to the 98 pages. right now. there was some reporting that they have some communications between the trump legal team and the trump folks with this, um breach of, um, um election machines in coffee county, georgia. that was an effort to get evidence about false claims that could be one of the actions were looking at. we re going to dig into the 98 pages. but what we can say is that there are not just not just the former president, but you have a lot of other named, uh people who are being charged here. yeah, and lastly, before i let you go , bro. we talked about this with some of the legal minds
but most importantly for keeping us safe over the weeks and months that have led up to this indictment. and for what i know they will continue to do to keep us safe. we also want to thank the atlanta police department and other law enforcement partners who have worked with the sheriff to keep us with the sheriff to keep us safe. i will now take a very limited number of questions prior to going to sleep. i ll go first, if you don t mind. surveillance 11 love. quick question. can you clarify in georgia, the mandatory minimum when it comes to a rico charge, it is whether it s served by probation or how that might play out the rico charges half time that you have to serve. so it is not a probated sentence, not a district attorney. what s timetable for your trial? what is the timetable for the trial? as you know, in this jurisdiction, trials are set by the judges.
there are different elements to this. there are different parts of how they make their rico case, but there are a lot of people that are already trying to punch holes in this yeah, indeed. there are bred barrett. thank you, sir. great stuff. appreciate it. i want to go back if i can not to cash patel and mike davis, if you gentlemen are both with us still, i want to know your thoughts on this because the whole concept here is 19 individuals. she wants them all tried together cash, and she wants this done within six months. what do you take? that is a constitutional farce and illegality as a former federal prosecutor, public defender who s defended cases involving 10 and 20 defendants. there s this thing called the blockbuster ruling if one defendant is using a statement against another defendant in the charged indictment, that case has to be split and tried separately. all 19 can go separately. or there can be a combination of the two. either way. there is no way under the
the indictment contains 41 criminal counts. it is 98 pages long. this is not a small operation here. and, um you just take a 30,000 ft view back and you say this is the fourth criminal indictment for a former president who is running to be president again. and the first trial. if it s agreed to august 28th would be january 2nd 13 days before the iowa caucuses, and as i read through the indictment bread, you kind of you pointed out exactly what s in it and who s being indicted and who s being named and it points out that all of these are felonies, but on the first violation, which is the violation of the georgia rico racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act, it says, serious felony and there s been a question brought up numerous times tonight. whether the rico charge is a basis to get this thing sped up to get this thing in trial before the election happens. what s your sense on that? yeah
