Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Some of the many things that surprised me:
This may be the most significant indictment, because the president can't pardon a state crime.
Worth noting, in Georgia, neither can the Governor. It’s a secret pardon committee who does that, and that’s ONLY after a certain period of time has been served.
Ol’ Kemp can’t bail Trump out of this one.
The only play for them at this point would be to somehow remove Willis and replace her with someone that will tank the case on purpose.
It’s a random selection of judges now. There are 19 judges, and the computer assigns the case at random now that the indictment has been handed in. Worst game of Russian roulette.
Someone still has to try the case. If they cleaned house at the Fulton da office they could have some sycophant show up to court and literally just tank the entire case.
Proud to be here with you all on this historic night. Hope it's RICO and hope Lindsey Graham is included.
Shockingly, Ole Lindsay wasn't included.
Narrator: it was RICO
What the?!? Get out of my head!
Love to see it, any news on what the indictments were for?
Not yet:
A grand jury in Atlanta handed up an indictment late Monday in a Georgia prosecutor’s investigation into efforts by Donald J. Trump and some of his key allies to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
But its details — including who is named in the indictment and what charges were brought — were not immediately clear. After a long day of the grand jurors hearing evidence, the full indictment is expected to be released later in the evening.
the reports I'm seeing (guardian, for example) are saying 10 people are going to be receiving indictments. we don't know how many more felonies to tack on to Trumps record-setting list of indictments, just yet.
This says 10 indictments, and it's 4 minutes old.
the OP is a stack of papers with an easily spoofed cover letter. It's hardly authoritative on it's own. I also can't make out any specific names. we're waiting for the details to become public. (so far as I know,) until then, it's all speculation. here is the guardian report that is apparently being updated in real time
edit: CNN has the indcitment, (though I can't verify it directly from Fulton County.)
41 counts of specific charges. My favorite belonging to trump is "impersonating a public official"
Impersonating a public official. Hahaha holy shit
Here’s the indictment

If this were for sale at the book store, I'd buy it. Even as an audio book on Audible... I'd buy it. Narated by Obama? I'd buy it twice!
This is pure gold, nice find and thanks for posting!
Still waiting on them to be processed and published but should happen before midnight EST according to the guardian
As a Brit is is mad seeing all this stuff come out. I know he and Boris got a lot of comparisons, but Boris went down mainly due to his lying about having a party in lockdown which is nothing compared to this.
Trump isn't even down. Here's still by far the favorite to win the Republican primary and be in the presidential race. Despite all of these things he continues to have a rabid following that will easily say all of this is just a setup. Cult 45 isn't just a moniker, they truly are very cult-like.
Says a lot about the different cultures too because here in the US a politician lying about having a party during lockdown would be praised by conservatives for sticking up for their "freedoms"
LET'S GO!!!!?
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this that trump train i kept hearing about?
Choo Choo motherfuckers
There's no breaks on the Justice Train 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃 one car for each jurisdiction
What's he up to now? 90 charges? 100?
so much winning
still gotta get the prosecution through though
but i too am hopeful that justice will be served
I think 81.
It was at 78 last I knew, this would put it at 88.
Ah, The Crazy 88.
Fucking hell, that things a book and a half.
The fact he's still walking free is astonishing
