  1. Jim Jordan needs to be investigated by the DOJ FBI and CIA and Homeland about the insurrection and the GA over throw of our Democracy in my opinion..he is just to involved in Trump case as not to maybe involved Republicans Democratics and Independents look into this NOW immediately

  2. I suspect Fani Willis' team is far better prepared than the donald's.

  3. There was a very
    real election fraud in 2020! This is why people
    stormed the capital they were upset that their
    votes did not count! Ballots were
    unaccounted for and computer votes
    tampered with. Ballots left in postal workers
    garages and trash. The post office need to be
    held accountable for tampering with the
    election process. In my city a bag full of
    ballots left on the ground this is not a
    conspiracy it's facts! How the public became
    so blind that they don't want to hear or
    acknowledge the truth
    and just listen to whatever the media feeds
    them is very sad : (-TRUMP 2024!!

  4. Rogue republican DAs should indict high level democrats for real crimes. Fight fire with fire

  5. U guys are a joke do real news

  6. Wouldn’t Oct 23, 2023 be just REMARKABLE. Ms Willis seems to be working miracles…in overtime. Most AMERICANS are applauding you, Ms Willis. Thank you.

  7. Be aware of one sided corp news propaganda machines, eh NBC? Not fooling anyone.

  8. god, please yes! lock them up. the sooner the better. let's move on with our lives ffs!

  9. This is a brilliant move by Willis. Kenneth Chesebro asked for the October 23'rd trial date, probably expecting her to push back. Instead, she is calling Chesebro's bluff. Now, Chesebro's is going against what his co-defendents want, and will have to deal with their opposition.
    The two key takeaways from this are that Willis is, or at least presents, that she is ready for trial and doesn't need a great deal more prep, and that she's smart and not going to be easy to outmaneuver.
    No one really expects that a case this complicated can go to trial that soon, but this leaves Chesebro with three options: (1) try to get his case severed from the others, which could be difficult, (2) face the wrath of his co-defendents, or (3) withdraw his motion. He'll try for (1), and I'm hoping he won't get it.

  10. Justice is blind but Republicans expect it to be deaf, dumb AND blind.

  11. Nothing like interfering with sacred right of free elections.

  12. The trial starts on Oct 23rd. That means trump could be locked up for Christmas. Merry Christmas MAGA.

  13. Anxious to lock him up.???, Go Fani.!!!

  14. This is the most absurd trial start date yet. It more absurd than than the january 2024 trial start. There is no court in the land that would ever grant that. The Trial Start Date is in the middle of election where people are voting. Does Fani Willis intend to sit jury pool of a bunch people who don't vote. It completely ridiculous.

  15. President Trump is a Russian asset who has laundered money for Vladimir Putin for decades in order to save his struggling casinos, MSNBC's Donny Deutsch claimed Thursday.

    "This is all about failed casinos," the New York City advertising executive said on "Morning Joe." "[Trump] is owned by Putin because he’s been laundering money, Russian money, for the last 20, 30 years. He’s owned by them.”

    “You talk to any banker in New York, any business person in New York, any real estate person … we have a president that’s selling out our military, that’s costing lives, because he is owned by our geopolitical enemy," he continued. "Because he’s been laundering money for him as a criminal organization for the last 30 years."

  16. 1 plane wing could resolve ALL this!

  17. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

  18. If 45 and his goons will put a target on a person of color in power, imagine what they’ll do to an everyday citizen of color…

  19. Fani Willis is full of crap 💩

  20. Meadows already turned himself in.

  21. Yes do it they have been on it for 2 years they have all the evidence its Rico law

  22. Fani Willis and Socialist DC protecting their Corruption at all Costs while Projecting their Election interfering/Subversion

  23. If defendant tRump has irrefutable evidence that will fully exonerate him, then there's no need to delay. You would think that defendant tRump would want to show his evidence to a jury of his peers, as soon as possible.

  24. BREAKING: US House Judiciary Committee strikes back by opening investigation into Fanny Willis for her thuggish behavior

  25. That’s how the justice system must work

  26. Crazy , wicked Biden , you will get your chips soon ..!

  27. American people would love to see Donnie the con man in televised court ASAP.

  28. Woohoo just in time for Halloween 🎉😂❤

  29. She's trying to save us from the embarrassing hellscape that will happen if the trial is going on during the actual election. Bless this woman.

  30. The orange Loser and all the people who helped him try to over throw The United States sitting in prision this Christmas made me smile

  31. America is behind you Fani Willis!! The sooner the better! Let Lady Justice be served asap! 🇺🇲🙏🏻💞

  32. Why do I think this ends with Trump standing on a flaming fuel tank screaming top of the world paw, top of the world.

  33. Yeah baby lets get er done fast, why wait if they so innocent they got nothing to worry about as if innocent no evidence to go through LOL

  34. 90 day Speedy Trial
    Fallacy Papers v. Trump Truths

  35. I think Fani Willis is a true American hero and she want the American public to know who it is they're voting for come November 2024. She also is sworn to uphold the laws for the state of Georgia.

  36. Now that’s a SPEEDY TRIAL! Fani is an OG!

  37. It’s pronounced fanny, you know, like Ice Cube described “felt on the big fat fanny”

  38. Yes! Let's get this done!

  39. Trump and his crony friends ain't going to go to trial that soon Trump will stall it and hope that he can become a president meanwhile he'll lie cheat stall blame others do what is child act does call people names I bet he was called Porky Pig when he was a kid
