Trump can't let go of Georgia.
He was in the Peach Tree state yesterday holding a rally and repeating the Big Lie when a report was released by the Brookings Institution, a leading think tank in Washington DC, that suggested he could be tried for multiple crimes there.
Another blow to his Big Lie was delivered with the results of the bogus Arizona audit which showed Biden had won with more votes than initially reported.
Just last week Trump was still pushing for a re-certification of votes in Georgia by openly imploring Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn Biden's win.
Trump faces numerous lawsuits but the investigation into his actions in Georgia may be the one that hurts him the most.
According to the report the charges include criminal solicitation to commit election fraud; intentional interference with performance duties; conspiracy to commit election fraud; criminal solicitation; and state RICO violations.
The report also noted that criminal liability could extend to some Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani.
The probe into Trump's actions began in February when Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, launched a criminal investigation into Trump's conduct relating to the election.
One of the most dangerous parts for Trump in this investigation is he's NOT going to be able to use executive privilege to claim immunity.
That's because Trump's actions were "well outside the scope of his official duties" according to the analyses.
At this point in time there's good reason for Trump to have his mind on Georgia; going to prison is a real possibility.
