“While reporters were preoccupied with the spicier allegations threatening to derail the Fulton County DA’s case, the little-watched three-and-a-half-week trial revealed new information about the scope of the plot to take voting system software in Georgia by election deniers, and the jaw-dropping lack of action by Secretary of State Raffensperger to respond.
During the trial the plaintiffs presented substantial evidence showing that anyone paying attention would have noticed something was quite amiss in Coffee County, and that should have triggered an investigation by Raffensperger’s office, but didn’t.
But the trial also revealed new information about attempts to gain access to Georgia’s voting machines in other counties. Plaintiffs revealed an email chain that showed that the election supervisor in Butts County had been contacted by Georgia’s (now) Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, requesting a forensic examination of the county’s voting software. (Willis’ criminal investigation of Jones was derailed when she was disqualified from the case by a conflict of interest.) Bartow County’s election supervisor testified that he’d been asked by his local GOP chair—and several unidentified attorneys—for access to copy his county’s election software. He replied with a hard no, and reported it to the secretary of state’s office.
Plaintiffs also presented a text message from a former member of the Coffee County Board of Elections to the attorney for neighboring Ware County, with a link to a story from the Gateway Pundit. The story claimed that the Trump team had obtained a voting machine from Ware, and the message said, “You have anyone to verify through?” The Ware county attorney responds, “I will verify,” and responds with a jpeg labeled “ware-county-confirmation,” but the actual image was never provided to the plaintiffs, and can’t be viewed.
And yet, even with multiple attempts to access voting systems, which the secretary was alerted to, witnesses from the secretary’s office testified that there was no investigation opened into any of these events.”

Doesn't matter. RICO is about conspiracy and the legal definition of conspiracy says it's two or more people and we already have four who have plead guilty to elements of the scheme. That's conspiracy.
None pled guilty to the first count against Trump. Now the RICO conspiracy has gone from 19 people to 15. These four are excluded from the conspiracy.

Does anyone think the defendants will appeal Judge McAfee's ruling on the conflict of interest question? It almost seemed like he set up his opinion for an appeal.

Wade resigned. Done deal.

I can't even remember the last time a Republican resigned this quickly and willingly as a result of a scandal despite the ridiculous number of scandals. It's been decades since a Republican did the right thing.

Seriously, PP. Everyone knows four people have pleaded guilty. It's been mentioned in every legitimate article in the last few days about the Georgia case. At some point you should question your information sources and stop commenting on DCUM.

Correction, did not plead guilty to the RICO conspiracy, though one is required to testify to that. Three people have charges which state 'conspiracy'.
