We Will Finally Get a Trump Mugshot With Georgia Indictment (The New Republiclink): Donald Trump has been indicted for a fourth time in Georgia—this time for helping to lead a “criminal racketeering enterprise” in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

This case is the first indictment where we may get a mugshot of the former president. Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat promised earlier this month that Trump will be treated like anyone else accused of a crime and have his mugshot taken if indicted.

In earlier indictments, Trump simply had his fingerprints taken. But in Georgia, things are expected to be different. So we decided to imagine what Trump’s mugshot could look like.

This Indictment of Trump Does Something Ingenious (The New York Timeslink): "There is one final important advantage of the Georgia case. It is shielded from what may be Mr. Trump’s ultimate hope: the issuance of a pardon should he or another Republican be elected president in 2024 (or a command by a Republican that the Justice Department simply drop the case). A president’s power to pardon federal offenses does not extend to state crimes.
“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Labat said.
Trump, along with his 18 co-defendants, were charged Monday with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute that prohibits racketeering. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis argued that Trump and his co-conspirators “constituted a criminal organization” in their attempts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Georgia’s RICO statute is punishable by between five to 20 years in prison. Irregardless.
Pardons in Georgia are not an unreviewable power vested solely in the chief executive. They are awarded by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles— and are not even available until five years after completion of all sentences."
Mod: I am in awe. These are some very serious people. Go Georgia!
