Overt Acts and Predicate Acts, Explained

No, Fani Willis Is Not Making Tweets Or Phone Calls Into Crimes. But Maybe Her Indictment Is A Bit Indulgent And Gratuitous.

The Popehat Report

@Popehat I always have to be on the lookout for my desire for vengeance on these trumpist gop hacks and their paid goons. Vengeance is how the fascists and authoritarians pull folks into their orbits, every time.

Even knowing that, I have to admit I am having a hard time controlling my anger, having seen the video just this morning of Trump's goon Trevian Kutti attempting to put the screws to Ruby Freeman.

I do not give a f who Trevian Kutti is, or how Trump trawled her out of the R Kelly cesspool to come and do similar dirty work for him. But the fact that Trump has likely spent a lifetime employing people and tactics like this, against real human beings, is making me stupid-angry and thirsty for vengeful justice on the man.

Your articles remind me that prosecutors are often not much better, and that helps; but jfc, I sincerely need to step away from the news rn.
