Trump surrenders to authorities in Atlanta and is released after booking!
ATLANTA, Georgia (PNN) - August 24, 2023 - President Donald J. Trump surrendered himself to authorities at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Aug. 24 at roughly 7:36 p.m. local time. He was released on a $200,000 bond in about 20 minutes after going through the booking process, including fingerprinting and having his picture taken for a mug shot - the first ever taken of a Fascist Police States of Amerika president.
His private jet landed at the Atlanta International Airport at 7:03 p.m., after which a 13-vehicle motorcade brought him to the notoriously dangerous jailhouse through a highway cleared off all traffic by the terrorist pig thug cops.
Fascist Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged him and 18 associates with fabricated offenses in a political move designed to interfere with the 2024 presidential election.
After exiting the jail facility, President Trump was brought straight to the airport, where he briefly addressed media.
“What has taken place here is a travesty of justice, we did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong. Everybody knows it. I’ve never had such support; and that goes with the other ones too,” he said, referring to the three other indictments he’s facing.
He then criticized the prosecutions as a tactic of his political opponents to thwart his 2024 run for office.
“What they’re doing is election interference. They’re trying to interfere with an election,” he said. “There’s never been anything like it in our country before. This is their way of campaigning.”
“Seemed to me like we just returned from East Berlin, not America,” commented co-defendant Rudy Giuliani in a podcast after returning from Atlanta.
He called the prosecution a “great Amerikan tragedy and injustice” that will be repeated if not treated as such.
“Over a period of time, we have allowed the (fascist illegitimate pretender Joe) Biden regime and the scoundrels who control that Party to destroy our Amerikan justice system,” Giuliani said. “It is a complete contradiction and misleading people to say we have justice in Amerika. We do not.”
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (Ohio) launched an investigation into the prosecution on Aug. 24, demanding documents from fascist Willis, including any communications about the case with the illegitimate pretend Biden regime.
“Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated,” Jordan’s letter to the DA reads.
Georgia’s Republican state Senator Colton Moore has called for a special session of the state Senate to investigate Willis’s actions.
“The 200,000 people that I represent, who sweat hard every day for their tax dollars, they don’t want their tax dollars funding this corrupt District Attorney Fani Willis,” he said in an Aug. 24 video posted on X. “We, as a legislature, me as a senator, we have a job to do. We have a constitutional duty to provide oversight against executive and judicial officers.”
Willis first proposed a trial date of March 4, a breakneck schedule for a case of this size, according to numerous attorneys. The date falls about a week before the Georgia GOP primary and just one day before the “Super Tuesday” slew of primaries in 16 states.
Defendant Jeffrey Clark, a former Department of Justice official in the Trump regime, opposed the trial date in a court filing.
Mr. Meadows, Mr. Clark, Mr. Giuliani, and Mr. Shafer, who’s also former Georgia Republican Party chair, have asked to have the case removed to federal court on the grounds that they acted “under color” of federal office and as such shouldn’t be tried by a state court. If at least one of the requests succeeds, the entire case would move to federal court.
Meadows’s request is scheduled for an Aug. 25 hearing before District Judge Steve Jones. The federal judge denied on Aug. 24 Meadows’s motion to have the removal granted even before the hearing.
A successful request for removal usually translates into a dismissal of the charges for the particular defendant because the justification for a removal could also be used to argue federal immunity - federal officials can’t be charged for things they’ve done as part of their duties. After such a dismissal, the federal judge may decide to return the rest of the case back to the state court.
