Trump Responds to Georgia Indictment, Promises to Expose Election Fraud | Crossroads #trumpindictment

Good evening and welcome to Crossroads. The Georgia case against Trump is already backfiring. Problem? Well, look, aside from some of the, let's say, oddities and how the charges are brought about, which, you know, maybe we'll discuss in the future, there's something more important right now to talk about, people are actually reading the indictment and they're finding the case against Trump and 18 others alongside him is taking mundane acts, normal things, and framing them as crime. Charges were announced yesterday in Fulton County, Georgia against former president Donald Trump and members of his election integrity team. They're being charged under the RICO Act, meant to take down the mafia. That was the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Now, these charges are essentially that Trump and his team conspired to change the outcome of the 2020 election by investigating election fraud. And that's because they did this together. They were a corrupt organization, according to the charges, and they now face 41 charges. Here's the Fulton County District Attorney, Fannie Willis, introducing the charges. Every individual charged in the indictment is charged with one count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act through participation in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia and elsewhere to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing Donald J. Trump to seize the presidential term of office beginning on January 20th, 21. Outside from RICO, they include solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, and conspiracy to commit filing of false documents. The indictment states that Trump lost the 2020 elections. It alleges as well that Trump and other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that Trump lost. It says they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. And given that as well, they're gonna have to prove that Trump knowingly didn't believe the election was rigged. So why is the public up in arms against this? Is it just another case of, you know, partisan politics? People are mad because of partisanship? Not really. Now, judge for yourselves. Let's have a look at the case. Remember, what prosecutors need to prove was that there was a criminal conspiracy that Trump believed the elections in fact were legitimate. And in order to bring a RICO charge, all they need to show is that there was a common plan and purpose in the group to commit two or more alleged crimes. Now, the case defines the criminal enterprise as Trump's team to investigate election fraud. That's the criminal enterprise. The manner and methods of this so-called criminal enterprise. It includes, for example, making allegations that there was election fraud. This is framed in the indictment as false statements and solicitation. The act of investigating election fraud, they frame this as unlawful breach. The presenting of evidence, showing what they found on election fraud. The local officials committed fraud, they frame this as harassment and intimidation. And the efforts they had to appoint dueling electors, the indictments frame that as a crime of using all of this to try to change the election. Now, so what does this look like in practice? Let me show you. The indictment lists 161 acts which lay out the whole criminal conspiracy. And it frames these as furtherance of the conspiracy. And it's the content of these acts, notably that has many critics rolling their eyes and shouting about injustice. This includes many acts, for example, of Trump and those around him, claiming that election fraud took place in the 2020 elections. Take for instance, Act Two, where it says that Rudy Giuliani made a private phone call on November 15th, 2020 and left an 83 second voicemail. And in the voicemail he made, the indictment says, Giuliani was quote, "'Making statements concerning fraud in the November 3rd, 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia." And because he made statements of concerning fraud, the indictment says this telephone call was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. Several other acts are along the same lines as this actually. Private phone calls, private text messages, public statements where people said there was fraud in the 2020 elections. Truly dastardly. When have politicians and lawyers ever claimed that there was fraud in an election? I mean, certainly not the Democrats in every major election, right? Oh wait, no, they did. They did do that. But back to the point, remember this is about Trump, not the Democrats who did this every single election, Now, when Trump and his team took steps to investigate allegations of election fraud around the country, they framed this as overt furtherance of the conspiracy. In fact, Act 6 says that on November 21 of 2020, Trump sent a text message where he asked for the phone number for members of the legislature in Pennsylvania. That's right. Asking for a phone number is framed as evidence of the furtherance of a conspiracy. And it gets worse. Act 22 says that Trump published a tweet where he said he was watching TV. The charge states in full, I'll read you the entire charge. On or about the third day of December, 2020, Donald John Trump caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account, at real Donald Trump, he caused it because he tweeted it. He said this, Georgia hearings now on OANN, amazing. And it says that that tweet, it says, quote, this was an overt act in the furtherance of the conspiracy. Act 140 in these charges even suggests that Trump was furthering a conspiracy for making fun of vice president Mike Pence for not bringing a special election on January 6th, 2021. That notably by Pence's own public statements would have turned the vote over to the house of representatives under the legal process. The charge says that when Pence refused to do that, Trump said that Pence would go down as a wimp. The other acts which are framed as furthering the conspiracy actually continue in very similar ways to all these. They include things like members of Trump's team tasked with investigating election fraud, doing things like talking about election fraud or showing up in different parts of the United States to investigate election fraud or publicly stating instances of fraud that they claimed exist based on their investigations. Act 57 even claims that in November, or sorry, December 11th of 2020, David James Schaefer reserved a room for a meeting of the electorate nominees. That's right, he reserved a room for a meeting. Now, Trump responded to these charges in a post on Truth Social. He said that in response, he's gonna hold a press conference on Monday next week in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he's gonna show evidence of fraud. Everything they collected, he says. Trump wrote that in the news conference, quote, a large complex detailed, but irrefutable report on the presidential election fraud, which took place in Georgia, is almost complete, will be presented by me. He added that, quote, based on the results of this conclusive report, all charges should be dropped against me and others. He said there will be a complete exoneration. They never went after those that rigged the election. They only went after those that fought to find the riggers. Now, meanwhile, Trump is still in the race for the 2024 elections. He's still the leading candidate by far among Republicans. And his campaign is, ironically, using the rounds of criminal charges to fundraise and to support Trump's platform that the country needs to be saved, notably from corruption. Now, an open statement from the Trump campaign states, the legal double standard set against President Trump must end. Under the crooked Biden cartel, there are no rules for Democrats, while Republicans face charges for exercising their First Amendment rights. It adds that the indictments are attempting to take away Trump's right to free speech and his right to challenge fraud in elections. Something that's never been illegal before. It states, the ones who should be prosecuted are the ones who created the corruption. So far, though, well, the charges actually do look like they're helping Trump a lot more than they're hurting him. Online chatter among the conservative community, for example, shows a fairly broad scale rally behind Trump, alongside actually accusations that Democrats are weaponizing the justice system, one of the big campaign lines of the Republicans right now, and that the charges themselves, they're saying, are meant to interfere with the elections. Prosecuting Trump is a means of interfering. Even the Republican leadership, notably, is getting behind Trump. Well, everyone, that's it for YouTube for the rest of the episode.

People from 160 countries illegally crossed the US-Mexico border and gave themselves up to Border Patrol. But what about the ones who evade Border Patrol? These are the guts. You can safely assume that anybody that went through the extra effort to avoid US Border Patrol was not an asylum seeker by default. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but sooner or later, somebody rapes and kills somebody and we find out that they came through here on my watch, that's unacceptable. These men had surrounded my house. They were banging on my back door. They were banging on my front door. I can't understand it unless you're out here seeing it. 21 dead bodies on the road. Is it wrong to ask people to come to your front door of your home? Then why would it be wrong to ask people to come to the front door of our nation? Their primary goal is to circumvent the checkpoints, go undetected. People that do not wanna surrender, those are gonna be the potential terrorists, the criminals, the real threat to the US. We were hoping the federal government would step in and do something, but they didn't. They have no clue who they are or where they're going. That's the scary part.
