The streets are closing around the courthouse in Fulton County Georgia
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced awhile back that the criminal indictments in her probe into 2020 election fraud would happen sometime in the month of August, and she specifically asked the courts to keep their schedules open during the second week of August. Now it appears that timeframe is indeed playing out.
Local TV news in Atlanta area is reporting that the main street outside the Fulton County Courthouse will close this upcoming Monday, August 7th, and will remain closed for a total of twelve days. So what does this tell us?
You don’t close major downtown streets for any longer than you absolutely have to. So we’re presuming that the Monday closing means that things will start happening on Monday, and things will continue to happen all the way through Friday, August 18th. What things precisely? That’s another question. Our guess is that the grand jury will start hearing the indictments on Monday, and then during the course of that twelve day window we’ll see all of the indictments and arraignments play out.
Without more precise information, we’re not going to try to guess which specific date(s) the indictments will be issued. We don’t even yet know if Fani Willis is planning to wait until the grand jury has voted on all of the indictments and then announce them all at once, or if we’ll see stream of indictments announced across several days. Nor do we know who all is getting indicted. But it’s now a safe bet that Trump and his pals will be indicted in Georgia sometime between three days from now and fifteen days from now.
