The Night the Lights Went On In Georgia

 

     ...and the roaches scattered.

     At first, I thought the journalist made a mistake and mistook indictments for counts. But, no, Fani Willis announced 10 grand jury indictments consisting of 41 counts last Monday night that caught in its wide net 19 conspirators and co-conspirators. Three of them were Trump's lawyers: Rudy Giuliani (the Harvey Dent in Trumpworld who lived long enough to see himself become the bad guy), Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis. Most if not all of them were left holding the bag in more ways than one.

     And the list of indictments and 41 charges came to nearly 100 pages. Oh my.

     Well, as is usual with infested houses, the cockroaches lost their shit and scattered. Jenna Ellis began invoking God. Mayor Rudy drooled and leaked more hair dye. Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, one of the 19 people indicted, has already tried getting the trial moved to federal court and out of Georgia, which makes no sense as these are state crimes that involved Georgia elected officials on both sides of the law.

     Trump, meanwhile, is doing what Trump's always done- Seeing to his own interests and throwing his co-conspirators under the bus before they can do the same thing to him. That and accusing Fani Willis of fundraising on the indictments in the middle of, you guessed it, a fundraising email.

     It's like Big Brother in Hitler's bunker.

     And, as irony is practically a prerequisite when right wingers go down for that 10 count, Rudy is even being charged with violating RICO statutes under which he himself had prosecuted mobsters when he ran the SDNY (ironically, the same ones he'd lobbied to get strengthened).

    

     Or,. as the pre-Two Face Harvey Dent said in The Dark Knight, “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”.
