Metro GEORGIA

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal indictment, used the proverbial blow torch and fanned the flames. The following comments and her conduct have been referenced throughout Smith’s and Willis’s investigations:

“Georgia’s probably going to be the first state I’m going to blow up and Mr. Kemp and the secretary of state need to go with it,” Powell said. “Because they’re in on the Dominion scam with their last-minute purchase or award of a contract to Dominion of $100 million. The state bureau of investigation for Georgia ought to be looking into financial benefits received by Mr. Kemp and the secretary of state’s family about that time.”

On January 3rd, Trump infamously called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and told him, “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.”

Fani Willis announced she’d open her investigation into Trump’s activities in Georgia in February 2021.

Fulton County Sheriff says he’ll treat Trump like anyone else

With those events serving as a backdrop, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat told everyone during a Tuesday afternoon press conference that his office would be ready to receive the former United States president if he were to be indicted.

“If an indictment came today, we would be ready,” said Labat. “We look forward to an opportunity to show the world that we are ready.”

Labat added that the sheriff’s office will follow, “normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status. We’ll have mug shots ready for you.”

Those practices also include fingerprints. For Trump’s sake, it may or may not include a photo-op for a perp walk.

Labat also said his team has learned from previous indictments in New York City, Miami and now Washington, D.C. The sheriff said they are preparing while collaborating with local, county, state and federal law enforcement.

Tuesday’s press conference comes after District Attorney Willis received disparaging and racist emails with threats to her, Sheriff Labat, and others within the county as Trump’s legal troubles can potentially shift to Georgia.
