She is a specialist. she s brought on her team a lawyer named john coyt who is known for his fluency with the georgia rico statute. that gives them the ability not only to exceed her jurisdiction in fulton county, georgia, and look at events that took place elsewhere in the state, but it does permit her to include these overt acts that took place outside of georgia as well. in reading the indictment last night and this morning because i got cross eyed last night. it was very late at night. i was struck by, as everyone was, the level of detail and the way that she went through day and day after day after day, donald trump made this call, this email was sent, it was responded to. devlin, you have been covering the aspects of this case even before we got this indictment, all of the aspects of what happened between the election ....

Op-eds saying this is the strongest and most important case in part because he couldn t pardon himself if he were to be elected president again. where do you put this overall as we look at these four indictments? not just maybe in importance but in strength of the case. it s not overkill. i m clearly biased. a federal prosecutor will say federal prosecutors do it. if you read her indictment in conjunction with the january 6 indictment, this is even more comprehensive. first of all, she indicted those five co-conspirators, the special counsel didn t. he may do that. this is more encompassing than any other of the indictments. why is hers more encompassing? his is comprehensive. but there are six co-conspirators he left out. i know practically why he did that. why? if you indicted them, now you have seven defendant indictment ....

Jeffrey clark, who tried to assert significant election concerns had been identified, and a string of lawyers, including john eastman, sidney powell and speaking to the press just before midnight, she rejected trump s accusation on social media that she was persecuting him for political reasons. i make decisions in this office based on the facts and the law. the law is completely non-partisan. that s how decisions are made in every case. to date, this office has indicted over 12,000 cases. this is the 11th rico indictment. we look at the facts. we look at the law. we bring charges. a big question at this hour, when could an arraignment take place? they have ten days to voluntarily surrender to authorities in georgia. last night, d.a. willis told ....

And january 6. do you think she did a good job laying it all out? i think she did. i think to get to joyce s earlier point, rico really allowed them the prosecutors to cast a very wide net. you see that in this more than overt acts listed here. overt acts aren t specifically or necessarily crimes, they re just things that were done to help the overall alleged criminal conspiracy. and so what you see in this indictment is that there are just tons and tons of overt acts. everything up to and including the speeches that happened on the morning of january 6th. so, what she s really doing is creating a much larger, longer story of january 6th and the efforts to undo that election, compared to the federal indictment, which is a much tighter and shorter story. and can you just define overt act for us, for anybody who might be joining us now? right, so, you know, i used to cover many years ago mob trials and classic overt act ....

Other officials who have knowledge of how these things play out, that means there s a possibility of fingerprints, mugshots and the possibility of surrendering at the county jail, rather than the courthouse. there are a number of people taking part in the conversations. we are talking about the d.a. s office, the sheriff s office, who provides security for these things. then, of course, the defendants attorneys along with a judge who has been assigned to this case. i can say that from my conversations with the sheriff of the county, along with the d.a., her posture and his posture is we don t provide anybody any special treatment. that s certainly something that s notable. as we are waiting to see what these terms of surrender will look like, as the people trickle down to atlanta and surrender, we are hearing from some of the people who have been named in ....
