Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Trump’s Greatest Legal Threat Yet

August 15, 2023 · 6:07 am ET · Leave a Comment

“The new indictment from Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ office is Trump’s greatest legal threat yet,” Insider reports.

“The most significant charge against the former president — RICO — carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison…”

“And if Trump is convicted, a judge can take his entire judicial history into account during sentencing.”

“Moreover, Georgia is one of the few states where the governor doesn’t have any pardon power. Trump would have to apply for a pardon to an independent board. And he wouldn’t be allowed to do that until he’s already served five years in prison.”
