Fulton jury ends Trump investigation one month after ex-president's controversial comments

A Fulton County special grand jury has completed its investigation into former Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump's interference in Georgia's 2020 presidential election.

“The Court thanks the grand jurors for their dedication, professionalism, and significant commitment of time and attention to this important matter. It was no small sacrifice to serve,” wrote Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney in a statement to the jurors and public.

The special grand jury spent eight months investigating Trump's involvement in Georgia's elections and a hearing has been scheduled for January 24th where a decision to make the grand jury's report public will be made.

The Fulton County grand jury's conclusion comes just one month after former president Trump called for the termination of the Constitution in a recent Truth Social post and asked the American people to reinstate him to power.

“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?” Trump quarried in his post.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump continued as he railed against “Big Tech” working too closely with the Democratic Party. 

Trump finished by writing, “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!” 

The move caused an immediate backlash from his political opponents and may be the worst example of the former president's ongoing election denialism. 

White House spokesman Andrew Bates was quick to condemn Trump for his comments and took a jab at the former president’s feigned love of the country. 

“Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation and should be universally condemned,” Bates said.

“You cannot only love America when you win,” Bates added.

In the rest of his statement to the public, Bates noted that “The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country.”

“The Constitution brings the American people together – regardless of party – and elected leaders swear to uphold it. It’s the ultimate monument to all of the Americans who have given their lives to defeat self-serving despots that abused their power and trampled on fundamental rights.” Bates added. 

Trump’s comments seem to have been spurred by Twitter’s first release of internal documents that showed how a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop was allegedly suppressed on the platform. 

Twitter initially blocked the New York Post’s reporting on the story and even went as far as to prevent users from sharing it in their private messages, citing that the information came from hacked or stolen material. 

When the New York Post refused to remove the story from its Twitter page, the company suspended the news outlet's account for two weeks before reversing the decision after they had loosened their rules regarding the story. 

In the aftermath of the incident, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said he regretted the company’s decision to censor the story.

Unfortunately, none of the facts revealed were against American law and certainly don’t call for the termination of the constitution and Trump’s reinstatement as Commander and Chief. 

Trump announced his intention to make his third run for president in November but the former president has made a number of crucial missteps that have left many wondering if he will be able to challenge Joe Biden in 2024.
