Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

    The DA giving Trump a grace period to turn himself in is very different from the post tile stating that Trump and 18 co-conspirators will turn themselves in.

    Clickbaity bullshit

      First Paragraph:

      Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) late Monday gave former President Trump and 18 co-defendants until Aug. 25 at noon to voluntarily surrender in Georgia following an indictment that unveiled multiple charges in connection to their attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

      That’s basically exactly what the headline says:

      Fani Willis says Trump, 18 co-defendants to voluntarily surrender in Georgia by Aug. 25

      The word “WILL” is your own and is NOT in the headline, if they don’t do it voluntarily by that time, they will be arrested. So they are supposed to surrender voluntarily, if they don’t, the alternative is worse.

      The article headline is spot on. How you (ATM) get 14 upvotes for your wrongful criticism is weird???

      If they don’t turn themselves in, there will be a warrant out for their arrest. A lot of them are stupid, but I don’t think any of them are that stupid.

        And trump really doesn’t have a choice.

        The secret service will surrender him to keep him from doing something stupid. (Cuz you want a dead criminal ex-president… running from lawful arrest is how you get dead criminal ex presidents)

      Either the title has been changed in the past 5 minutes, or you would fail even the most basic reading comprehension test.

      You mean the guy who is still the expected Republican nominee for 2024, and at whose urging stochastic terrorism is on the rise, but who has yet to see any consequences for his actions nor any legal consequences that would bar him from holding office? That dumb ex-President?

      The dumb ex-President will be running for reelection next year, so unfortunately we have to care about him

      People can care about more than one thing at a time, you know.

      Trump is merely the latest Republican president to be caught cheating, though he did it in a spectacularly stupid and egregiously public way.

      We didn’t pursue charges the last two times this happened, and look where that got us.

      So it’s pretty weird that you don’t care to hold the man who is responsible for the first non-peaceful transition in the history of the presidency accountable for his attempt to deprive us of our right to select the people who represent us.

      … implying that some dumb ex-president attempting a self coup to prevent the lawful transfer of power isn’t a serious issue. Doubly so when he’s attempting to get back in office.

      Also, if you think going after obvious crimes will hurt the Democrats, I question your understanding of a lot of things.

      Just the current republican front runner. The republican party of criminals, white supremacists and traitors needs to be reminded that nobody is above the law.

      A serious issue happening in this country is that a president called up the secretary of state in Georgia and asked them to find more votes.
