Trump Goes Ballistic As Georgia Prosecutors Close In

Donald Trump went on a late night Truth Social rant this week about the prosecutors in Georgia that are getting closer and closer to his inner circle. Trump tried to distract people by talking about crime in Atlanta, as if that has anything to do with the investigation into his activities in the state. He also took a few shots at the Washington Post, because all the man knows how to do is complain. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Things in the state of Georgia are very obviously heating up for Donald Trump and not, you know, in a good way, like, oh, is hot at here folks. No, the dude's in serious trouble. And this week, his former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani had to go and testify in front of the special grand jury. And Rudy put up a good fight, right? He tried to say, I'm not allowed to travel. And then he posted all those pictures on his social media of him traveling. So the judge said, Nope, get your butt down here, take a train, take a bus, rent a car. If you have to get an Uber, the judge actually said, do whatever you have to, to get to Georgia. And Rudy eventually did. He came down this week, testified and then Donald Trump absolutely went ballistic. This by the way was also on the same day that a judge told Lindsay Graham, you cannot escape the subpoena and you will go and testify.

So Trump sees his inner circle, right? Juliani Lindsay Graham absolutely enable unable, excuse me, to escape testifying in front of this grand jury. So he knows the walls are closing in. So he goes, Trump does on a late night truth, social rant. And this one, again, as usual, more and more peculiar, which is funny by the way, before I even read it, cuz I gotta point this out. You can tell when he is starting to get desperate because he makes even less sense than usual, right? When the walls close in too much, the man can't even keep his thought processes straight. So here's what I mean. This is what he put out there. So let me get this straight in the great state of Georgia. If you wanna challenge or protest election results in any way, shape or form. Despite the fact that in Atlanta murders and crime rate are the highest in the nation with many people dying each month at numbers we'd never seen before, they will charge you and put you in jail. But if you kill people, you will quickly be set free to murder again. Is it there something slightly wrong with this scenario? A perfect phone call.

Okay. All right. Not exactly sure. I follow your thought processes. sure. Disagree with the statistics you're throwing out there because that's simply not true murder rate crime rate in Atlanta, the highest this country ever seen. Not true. Sorry. It's not also, if you kill somebody, they're just gonna let you right back out. You go murder somebody again. Also not a thing that's happening now. Are there murderers that get set free? Absolutely. That's more of a failure of the justice system than a feature of it. Okay. That's not how it typically works. Those cases are few and far between and then just randomly screaming at the end, then all cap, a perfect phone call. Yeah, that, that doesn't sound weird at all. And here folks, it gets even weirder because he continues the WPO story that Trump is scrambling to add seasoned lawyers to the Malago raid case is as usual fake

News. I already have excellent and experienced lawyers. I'm very happy with them. This is highly political prosecutorial misconduct. I have not been charged with anything. And most importantly I did nothing wrong. Thank you. I gotta admit. Sometimes I really do like reading these things out loud. It's fun. Um, no it's not untrue. Your lawyers suck. They have sucked in court. The judges have basically told them you are not good at this. Your other lawyers are complaining about these lawyers that you're putting all your faith in people like Alina Haba. We have seen other folks like Christina, Bob go on national TV, make complete fools of themselves for not understanding basic legal concepts. So yeah, we can ridicule you for that. Not to mention the fact that Washington post actually spoke to lawyers that have been approached by your team to join them. So you don't get the claim fake news.

When the lawyers out there have the receipts, but none of those receipts matter to the people that read Donald Trump's posts on truth, social in their eyes and their minds. George's a witch hunt. The DOJ is a witch hunt. The search at Mar Lago was a witch hunt. New York is a witch hunt. The other New York investigations, a witch hunt, all 22 of those civil suits are witch hunts, January 6th, committees of witch hunt. My God, there's a lot of witches in this country apparently, right?
