The Fulton County grand jury Monday night handed down 41 separate indictments, 13 of which former President Donald Trump Trump faces, for 19 individuals. The indictment alleges 161 acts as part of the efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Trump is being walloped left and right after trying to rig the election he lost to Joe Biden. The RICO change is the chef's kiss after a lengthy Indictment Watch on Monday.

Trump took to Truth Social to complain about the indictment hours after he released a video, somehow blaming President Biden for the fires in Hawaii while once again dismissing climate change as a threat.

'So, the Witch Hunt continues! 19 people Indicated [SIC] tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, "I will get Trump,"' Trump wrote. "And what about those Indictment Documents put out today, long before the Grand Jury even voted, and then quickly withdrawn? Sounds Rigged to me! Why didn't they Indict 2.5 years ago? Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign. Witch Hunt!"

This morning, Trump called for the charges to be dropped because he claims that he'll present evidence of a rigged election. l

"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 at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey," he wrote. "Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others - 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!"

And, of course, he wrote in a separate post that this is a witch hunt.

WITCH HUNT!

He's already saying the grand jury's decision was "rigged." That seems to be a typical pattern with him. The question is, will that rich white guy face justice, or will his privileged ass end up doing no time at all, despite the list of charges? He should be treated as a thug, but he's special somehow.

Trump is right. There is a two-tiered system. Rich white men get away with every fucking thing. Let's hope that Fani Willis has changed that.

I'm just adding this here because it's so badass:

Trump also put out a lengthy statement, but it's just more of the same.
