Georgia Drops Racketeering & Election Interference Case Against Trump
Peter Skandalakis, the prosecutor who was assigned to the case, citing the complexity of the legal issues at hand — ranging from constitutional questions and the Supremacy Clause to immunity, jurisdiction, venue, speedy-trial concerns, and access to federal records — and even assuming each of these issues were resolved in the State’s favor, bringing this case before a jury in 2029, 2030, or even 2031 would be nothing short of a remarkable feat.
Skandalakis said that he considered severing Trump’s case from his codefendants to attempt to try them first while waiting for the conclusion of Trump’s second term. However, he said, doing so “would be both illogical and unduly burdensome and costly for the State and for Fulton County.”
He added: “In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years.”
Trump is right, there was an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and it was done by hime, but the case will not end up in court, because Trump is President.
