None of these Georgia charges are going to stick. The worst thing that Drumpf said or did was to say "Do the right thing Mike Pence." J6 was a setup from the FBI and DNC.

Part of the problem on Saidit is that many here seem to assume that the legal teams discovering these important charges are as incredibly stupid as others on Saidit, or indeed much dumber than others on Saidit.

Anyhow: which one of the Georgia charges is frivolous, or unfair, or naughty, or inappropriate?

all of the new Georgia ones are a stretch. i'll bet you $20 right now that he will not be found guilty of any of them.

Which one?:

Violating Georgia's racketeering act: The indictment alleges that Mr Trump, "while associated with an enterprise, unlawfully conspired" through a pattern of fraudulent activity to change the outcome of the election. This falls under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (Rico) Act, which has been used to bring down mafia bosses like John Gotti

Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer: Mr Trump is facing three counts on this charge, including one related to a January 2021 phone call between Mr Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, during which prosecutors allege Mr Trump asked Mr Raffensperger to "unlawfully" alter or adjust the the certified returns for presidential electors

Conspiracy to impersonate a public officer: The indictment alleges Mr Trump unlawfully conspired to influence certain individuals to falsely act as elected officials "with intent to mislead" 

Conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree: The charge alleges that Mr Trump intended to defraud the public by conspiring to make a false document titled "CERTIFICATE OF THE VOTES OF THE 2020 ELECTORS FROM GEORGIA", a document which would have made Mr Trump appear to be the winning candidate in Georgia

False statements and writings and filing false documents: The purpose of the false statements, of which there are several listed, was to persuade Georgia legislators to "reject lawful" votes cast by duly elected officials, the indictment alleges

Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer

This one might stick, it seems pretty clear cut

Yeah - and I've seen at thefederalist.com an argument that the president's formal request that Raffensperger adjust the certified returns for presidential electors is in their view merely a chit-chat by phone. No big deal...
