Georgia appeals court sides with Trump, Affirms Dismissal of State Charges

A Georgia appeals court on Friday issued a ruling dismissing six counts in the state’s 2020 election interference against President-elect Donald Trump, as The Hill reports.

This decision backs a lower court judge who ruled that the charges against Trump must be thrown out due to a lack of detail. Essentially, the charges against Trump were so vague and novel that there ultimately was no case against Trump.

This outcome won't come as a surprise to conservative legal observers who have long called out the shaky foundation of the charges brought against Trump in Georgia.

Judge E. Trenton Brown III wrote, "We find that the indictment fails to include enough detail to sufficiently apprise the defendants of what they must be prepared to meet so that they can intelligently prepare their defenses."

This case should never have gone to court because of how shoddy and poorly constructed it was. Unfortunately, this case has consumed thousands of hours and millions of taxpayer dollars.

Lawfare fails

The charges brought against Trump in Georgia were entirely political just like the other indictments that Trump faced in New York and Florida.

One of those charges that was dismissed alleged that Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,779 votes, which would overturn President Biden’s Georgia win.

There were multiple charges against Trump claiming he had tried to solicit Georgia officials to violate their oaths of office. There was ultimately no evidence of this besides a bad-faith interpretation of a phone call.

Trump's camp has long pointed out that his call with Raffensperger was entirely appropriate and was simply the then-president working to ensure no votes had been missed.

It was up to prosecutors to show which laws Trump supposedly broke, and they failed to do so, leading to the dismissal of the charges over a year ago. However, the appeals process dragged on much longer.

Trump can pair Friday's win with the other legal victories he has scored in recent weeks, as the Democrats' lawfare against him has failed horrifically.

Trump Can't Stop Winning

Trump's RICO case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is essentially over, with the embattled D.A. disqualified from the case, although she is still appealing that decision.

It's unlikely she will win that appeal, and even if she does, the charges against Trump were dead on arrival when the case was filed. Trump's legal troubles in Georgia are almost at an end.

Special counsel Jack Smith has resigned from his position and could be investigated himself by the incoming Trump administration.

Ever since November, Trump has been on a winning streak that isn't over yet. Trump hasn't even been inaugurated as the 47th president, and he is already making his second term one to remember.
