Poor Fani. Her moment of glory will be a short one. Lawyers tell us that Fani’s case against President Trump is likely to be moved to a federal court — because it is directed at federal officials and because the accusations are very similar to those made by Jack Smith in the January 6th indictments.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609268089992-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”); } }); }); }

In the end, however, Fani may be happy to let the feds conduct the trial because some of the 161 “Acts of Racketeering” (ACTs) in the indictment involve dangerous criminals doing dangerous things. For example, here is ACT 6 (in its entirety):

On or about the 21st day of November 2020, MARK RANDALL MEADOWS sent a text message to United States Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania and stated, “Can you send me the number for the speaker and the leader of PA legislature. POTUS wants to chat with them.” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.

Exchanging telephone numbers: That is pretty scary stuff.

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

ACT 22 is also deeply disturbing. Here is the entire Act, but be advised that reading it may cause stress:

On or about the 3rd day of December 2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump, “Georgia hearing now on @OANN. Amazing!” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. 

I bet you didn’t realize that watching TV is one of the main ways that racketeers perpetrate their crimes.

“False claims” of unsupported votes, by categories

Seriously, most of the 161 Acts seem just as inconsequential as those two examples. However, Fani has a theory: These people, who were doing things that appear to be innocuous, were knowingly implementing a criminal master plan: the overturning of an election that they knew Trump had lost.

In support of this notion, the indictment includes repeated references to the same handful of allegedly false claims of phony votes — specifically the ones in the table (col. B).
