Hello, this is Michael Moore and you are listening to an
emergency podcast system edition of Rumble with Michael Moore.
Just moments ago, the District Attorney in Fulton County,
Georgia, which is Atlanta, announced the indictment of
Donald Trump along with 18 coconspirators who, according to
the District Attorney, formed an organized crime group.
There are 41 counts in this indictment.
The indictment is over 90 pages long.
It contains 161. Acts, Acts of finding, criminal
acts, etcetera, the main ones being filed under the Ricoh
provisions of the law. In other words, racketeering.
In other words, what we we would normally call mob like.
Activities. This is this is a breathtaking
indictment and I just wanted to come on and speak to everybody
for just a few minutes. I'm recording this just a few
minutes after midnight here on Tuesday the 15th of August 2023.
There'll be more coming out on this throughout the night.
I'm sure a lot of analysis going on right now.
None of us have been able to read all 90 pages.
I've been going through it. There are so many people
mentioned in this In addition to indicting Trump, other
indictments here are Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, the
former chief of staff, John Eastman, Trump's lawyer.
Top Republican officials in the state of Georgia.
In the Georgia Senate, the Georgia Republican Party, other
people indicted are the fake electors that were being put
together to present as the real electors in Georgia, Michigan,
Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
And it goes through all these other states here.
Michigan alone here. Here, I'll just read it.
It's Act 5 here in the indictment and I'll.
Read it to you, It says. On or about the 20th day of
November 2020, Donald Trump and Mark Meadows met with the
Majority Leader of the Michigan Senate, Michael.
Shirky, That's a Republican at the.
Time and the Republican speaker of the Michigan House of
Representatives Lee Chatfield and other Michigan legislators
in the Oval Office. At the White House, where Donald
Trump. I'm quoting now from the
indictment where Donald Trump made false statements concerning
fraud in the November 3rd, 2020 presidential.
Election in Michigan. Rudolph Giuliani joined the
meeting by telephone. This meeting was, and I'm
quoting now, an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy to
overturn the 2020. Election 161 of these acts are
listed here in the 41 counts, all of them racketeering
charges. Each and every one of them, and
each each of the individuals charged are charged with
racketeering, so. This this is way beyond.
What the federal government was willing to charge and the
District Attorney just came out along with what look like close
to a dozen prosecutors. And they look like they mean
business. I mean, this was a stunning
thing to just witness live on television.
I'm sure a number of you are probably had already gone to bed
when you're listening to me now. On Tuesday morning if you have a
chance to watch any of this, it's it's pretty stunning.
And the the breadth of this, the scope of the various people
charged in this indictment. And the people that are not
charged in the state of Georgia but are mentioned in
Pennsylvania in. Arizona.
In Michigan, you know the federal special.
Prosecutor Jack Smith indicted just Trump.
And you know, essentially on four different counts you're
going to hear. A lot of criticism, probably.
Of the Atlanta DA who wasn't going to leave anything out of
this, any finding that she and the grand jury found.
And it was the grand jury that voted on this indictment.
Earlier on Monday, anything that broke a law, any person that
broke a law, any any lying, forgery.
Is in here. It goes down the whole list if
you committed a criminal act. You are being charged with this.
In the effort, the organized crime effort to overturn the
2020. Election It's look to hear it.
Act 28 here in the indictment is the phone call from Trump to the
Secretary of State in Georgia, essentially telling him.
That he wanted him to stuff the ballot.
Box with 11,780 votes, which would then put Trump as the
winner of Georgia. You know, we've never.
Seen anything like this in the history of this country?
And this is a state court proceeding, so there's no
pardoning here. No president is going to be able
to pardon Trump if he's convicted.
Of the state charges, the state of Georgia their laws do not
allow. The Governor of Georgia.
The Republican governor of Georgia to pardon Trump should
he be convicted, so oh, and cameras will be allowed in the
courtroom. So there is transparency and we
can see the whole thing. They're already talking a lot.
About how she made the comment or she was asked are you going
to try all nineteen of these at the same time?
And she just said yes and then and then left the podium.
And they're all right now. I'm So by the time you wake up
and you listen to this, they're they're all, everybody's got
their hair in a bunch. With the sort of how can you
have 19 people on trial at the same time?
I don't think one of the lawyers pointed out she meant that
they're all being indicted at the same time.
Yes, they're all going to face the music here at the same time,
but there's not going to be 19 chairs with another 38 chairs
for the lawyers all at one table.
But she's making it very clear that she's not messing around.
I have to tell you, this was so. Refreshing to hear someone from
law enforcement finally Not equivocate, not dance around the
Bush, not pull any punches, but to say outright.
Forthrightly crimes have been committed.
They were done in an organized conspiracy.
There was an enterprise formed not only with these 19
individuals, Trump and the. 18 here of his coconspirators, but
there's also another 30 unindicted coconspirators who
are not mentioned. But it says here in the
indictment that the grand jury knows the names of these
individuals and they may become. Public here at a later date.
So if there's thirty more plus the 9:00, that's 4949.
At least 49 did this together. To try to overturn, overthrow
our election in 2020 and they didn't get away with it.
But the chilling part of this is if you stop and think what?
If they had, what if Trump were smarter?
What if Giuliani knew what the hell he was doing?
The state of affairs that we would be in right now, our
democracy, whether it would still even exist in the form
that we had hoped that we were functioning as, Oh my God, and
now. Finally this D A and my friends,
we have gone through what how many investigations in Congress?
2 impeachments? The Mueller And remember that
the Mueller investigation. Oh, the Mueller.
He's really going to really sort this out and go for it.
How many times have we had to listen to this?
Twice impeached and neither time the Senate would vote to convict
him and remove him. From the White House, it has
really been frustrating to the point where nobody wants to
watch the news anymore. Sick of hearing about Trump.
One thing after another. And now this is the 4th
indictment. He's been indicted in the state
of New York with the hush money situation.
He's been indicted in Florida for stealing top secret federal
documents and then when asked to return them, not returning them
and lying and trying to hide and cover up.
That's the Florida indictment, then the indictment in DC, the
big indictment for trying to overthrow the election on
January 6th. And the all the weeks leading up
to that. Everything that he and Giuliani
and the and the Enterprise did. And then finally this evening,
earlier this evening, the indictment.
In Georgia, 41 counts 19 coconspirators Trump.
And eighteen others. Many of them are those fake
electors and other Republican officials in the.
State of Georgia You know I I to describe how I'm.
Feeling right now. I'm grateful for this DA.
You should watch some of her. Press conference that she held
this is not. Like these other D A's that
we've had to watch. And I know they've all been,
they've all tried to do their. But they're so careful and they
want to you know, yeah, I get it.
But you know if you're in a. Fight with an individual.
And his enterprise, his organized crime enterprise to
destroy this country, to overthrow a government, to
overthrow an election, you need, we need, the people need on our
side. Warriors, people who are willing
to go into battle, Legal battle. We're not talking to any
violence here. Legal nonviolent battle with
those who are traitors to this country, those who would
overthrow an election, they didn't get away with it.
But if they get away with this, with the conspiracy to try to do
it, that will be the worst message to send to the future
that you could try this. Yeah, they failed the first time
When? Trump did it back in 2020.
But it doesn't mean it can't be. They almost pulled it off.
They just. Didn't have the smarts to do it.
Next time we won't be so lucky, my friends.
Read what you can on this. You can.
Download the indictment. I'll I'll have it here on my
podcast page. You can read it for yourself.
It's, it's. Very, very easy to read if
you're not a lawyer. Doesn't matter.
It tells a compelling. Story of people who are out to
destroy. Our democracy.
I don't want to take up any more of your time right now.
It'd be great if you read it you.
There's other things I'm sure on the news this morning.
Other commentary, whatever read. Listen to what you can feel good
about. Fonny Willis, That's the DA.
Fonny Willis in Atlanta, GA took a bold and brave move here and
didn't just. Go after one or two things.
She went after the kitchen sink and they've got all of this
documented here. She wants to try this case in
the next six months. The lawyers were saying here
tonight that there's not that, you know she, I mean she's.
Been working on this now for almost 2 years.
She's not acted recklessly, quickly, you know, rushing to
judgment here. She and her team of lawyers have
put together this indictment, the facts behind it, the
evidence. It is breathtaking. 161 acts,
Criminal acts. Evidence for these acts of what
they did to conspire. With each other, I mean, they
flew in the the head Republicans from the state of Michigan, the
top person in the Senate in Michigan, the top person in the
House of Representatives of Michigan.
The the Republican Party leaders flew them in to DC.
After the election in November. Of 2020 to meet privately with
Trump. In the White House, as he was
organizing them, and the Republicans in Georgia, in
Arizona and elsewhere to get them to conspire with him to
overthrow the. I'm sure we're not done with the
number. Of people that are going to have
to, as I said, face the music. But thank God somebody's had the
guts to do it and do it in a comprehensive manner and to call
it what it is organized Crime Mob like activity.
In other words, what What this? Rico is what they charge.
Racketeering is what they charge the mob with.
And Trump and Giuliani are charged with putting together
their own organized crime enterprise, as it's called here.
The Enterprise. Wow.
Bastards. Every single one of them.
Talk to your friends and your coworkers and your fellow
students, neighbors, family members about this.
Don't let them be persuaded by the typical propaganda we're
going to hear from Trump and Fox and everybody else.
We are all in this together. This is our democracy, and we've
let we've let the bad guys get away with us for too long.
You know it. Don't have Trump fatigue here,
friends. He's hoping you do.
This is when we band together and we support the law.
We support the facts. We want the evidence presented.
We want the people of this country to be able to see it.
And while this may be a very tense time.
It is the right thing to do. Don't listen to people who say,
oh, I'm so afraid though, this is going to upset the the
Republicans and their right wingers and the white.
Yeah, they should be. Upset if we don't stand up.
For our own country, who will This is on us right now.
This is a good day. Thanks for tuning in to this
emergency podcast system special.
