Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Monday said she would announce this summer whether former President Donald Trump and his allies would be charged with crimes related to alleged interference in Georgia’s 2020 election.

Willis revealed the timetable in a letter to local law enforcement in which she asked them to be ready for “heightened security and preparedness” because she predicted her announcement “may provoke a significant public reaction.”

In the letters, Willis said she will announce possible criminal indictments between July 11 and Sept. 1, sending one of the strongest signals yet that she’s on the verge of trying to obtain an indictment against Trump and his supporters.

“Please accept this correspondence as notice to allow you sufficient time to prepare the Sheriff’s Office and coordinate with local, state and federal agencies to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public,” Willis wrote to Fulton Sheriff Patrick Labat.

Similar letters were hand delivered to Darin Schierbaum, Atlanta’s chief of police, and Matthew Kallmyer, director of the Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency.

“We have seen in recent years that some may go outside of public expressions of opinion that are protected by the First Amendment to engage in acts of violence that will endanger the safety our community. As leaders, it is incumbent upon us to prepare,” Willis told the metro Atlanta leaders.

Trump has called for mass demonstrations in response to overreach from prosecutors — and triggered concerns about violent unrest not unlike the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection he promoted.

Norm Eisen, a former ethics czar under President Barack Obama and who has co-authored a Brookings Institute report on the Fulton probe, said Willis’s letter makes it sound like she will certainly seek charges against the former president.

“It’s hard to imagine how Willis would announce that she will be filing charges without including Donald Trump,” Eisen said. “While she does not have the former president’s name in her letter, the evidence and the applicable law in Georgia point to the substantial likelihood that Donald Trump and his principal co-conspirators will be included when she follows through on the plans she confirms in this letter.”

This isn’t the first time law enforcement in Atlanta has ramped up in response to the Fulton DA’s Trump investigation.

Last May, as a Fulton judge selected members of the special grand jury, the Fulton Sheriff’s office blocked off vehicle traffic on the streets surrounding the courthouse and stationed deputies with guns on many street corners with semi-automatic rifles. Snipers patrolled nearby rooftops as helicopters circled overhead. Law enforcement also deployed a SWAT team to protect jurors as they returned to their cars at the end of the day.

Six months later, before jurors interviewed Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, they assigned heavily armed officers to guard the courthouse steps and a bomb-sniffing dog.

Willis herself travels with a security detail and has equipped some members of her team with bulletproof vests and keychains with panic buttons.

For Trump’s arraignment last month in Manhattan, authorities erected barricades and shut down streets surrounding the courthouse. The police issued a stand-ready order for roughly 35,000 officers in the region and city, state and federal law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals Service, coordinated their efforts.

About an hour before his afternoon court appearance, a number of courtrooms were closed, according to published reports. There was also a total shutdown of the route the former president took to the courthouse from Trump Tower and from the courthouse to board his plane at LaGuardia Airport.

Because of all the closures, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell urged residents to stay off the roads in Manhattan and take the subway instead.

The sheriff’s office referred any questions about the letter to the DA’s office. A spokesman for APD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

lol yet another indictment bout to reign down on the orange moron.

That's too bad...lol

all political theater to keep the news on Trump to make him look bad but none of this will stick.

I think we're also at the point where the democrats have milked the anti-trump train as hard as possible, and by this point their continued efforts against him are only going to help fuel his support base while slowly losing the general public.

They have basically given him a strong case to say "see, they truly are out to get me."

This is going to result in an "us vs them" scenario where it's the general public vs the elites in power doing all of this.

Surely Drumph is finished this time.

Surely this time the lying, orange, conman who appeals soly to low IQ morons will sway the regular people to his side. Has lost every election since 16, got curbstomped in 20, incited an attack on our capital in 21, and left the country as shambles as he slunk away like a little bish. Indictments are dropping on him like there's no tomorrow too.

And to this day he continues to lie about getting his chit pushed in in 20.

People love that chit and will turn to him ANY DAY NOW...MAGAtard are truly the most deranged people on the planet.


LMFAO

Dems are about to blow their get trump load.
it will be a dry one and they won't be able to get it up again.

This is what is often referred to as a "fringe" take.

Pride comes before the fall, and democrats have been most proud lately.

Who doesn't want to vote for a dude that lost jobs in four years, left the country a shambles, added $8T to the debt, incited an attack on our capital, continues to lie about getting curbstomped in 20, and will be facing multiple indictments.

Sign ol' Sillie up for that!

Gotta admire Sillie. Man has a huge cock, a harem of women, and he never tires of owning the MAGA crowd.

I'm shocked by her , shocked I say

Wait, so they execute election fraud and conspire with the establishment media and compromised judges to hide said fraud and charge the guy they defrauded?

The only difference between you and the MAGAtards is that the MAGAtards dont come into the room, screech something, and then run away. So who's really the tard?

It really bothers you that we low iq morons get to vote doesnt it

fixed & agreed.

Lol.

You won the silver in mental gymnastics.

What did you all expect? He's literally on tape asking Georgia Secretary of State to find 11,000 votes. You all would be freaking out if Biden did that.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. How dumb is Trump to say that on the phone?

strong name to post content

Thank you sir

She’s a kunt.

I prefer presidential candidates that aren’t facing criminal indictments.

you would know since you are clearly sucking it.

Do you often have homo thoughts about ol' Sillie? I get that a lot from you MAGAtards for some reason and I keep needing to saying that unlike many in your party, Sillie ain't no homo.

Interesting she says "indictments", as in plural.Literally dozens of court cases, before both Republican and Democrat appointed judges, every one a loss. Time for a different narrative.

"I just know he is guilty of something...probably

Trump is a queer who believes he's above the law. He actually said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" yet it is impossible to think that a queer who believes that would be breaking laws all over the country, right? He would never break a law, even though he has, a lot.

Derpgroomer is a liberal pretending to be republican. He's on record saying kids friendly drag shows and child grooming is not a big deal becasue there are more important issues like stopping legal immigration.

Go back to your country ****** We're full over here.

says the guy who apparently has no problem with certain liberal forum members talking about his penor in great detail.

this isn't grinder ****get.
take it somewhere else.
