Prosecutors in the hearing room at the DA's table: attys Daysha Young, Will Wooten & Donald Wakeford + #RICO expert & special prosecutor John Floyd
Special prosecutor Anna Cross is also present.
For the defense it's #Trump & David Shafer's #legal teams.
Steve Sadow, Trump's lead Atlanta attorney, is currently arguing why his client's speech at issue in the indictment is core political speech that's protected under the #1A.
#Georgia DA rebuts defense’s protected “political speech” / #1A argument because this isn’t about lying in #PoliticalSpeech, it’s about filing false documents & making false statements to the #court & the government.
Additionally, the lies were employed as a part of #criminal conduct & not protected.
Overt act in a criminal #conspiracy
The purpose of presenting the overt acts is to show that it is part of the overall operation – the #CriminalConspiracy.
lol. The last #Trump#Georgia#criminal#RICO defense argument was that charges should be dismissed because the term #FakeElectors was a legal conclusion & disparaging.
DA prosecutor got up for his turn & started by saying, “the words ‘fake electors’ do not exist anywhere in the indictment.”
The #Georgia DA prosecutor went on to argue that case #law & GA statutory law supported the use of characterizations in indictments.
Another great line from the DA atty Will Wooten was that all indictments include #legal conclusions, that’s what indictments are.
If indictments aren’t allowed to have legal conclusions, then I guess we can’t have indictments anymore.

I think that the main point is for the lawyers to provide moronic arguments for Fox News and newsmax viewers to cling to, so that he can claim (and they can believe) that the judge treated him unfairly.
And the “root goal” is that these morons vote for him so he can make all his legal troubles go away
