Ruby Freeman, a Fulton County poll worker who conservatives fixated upon as having overseen a massive voter fraud enterprise.

I wonder why they fixated on her (pictured below with her daughter). Truly a mystery…

There’s a lot of good info in this.
Right here, tho -

Guiliani told members of the Georgia House on December 10, long past when it was clear Trump had lost, that Freeman was “quite obviously passing around USB ports as if they’re vials of heroin or cocaine” to infiltrate Dominion voting machines. The indictment shows that several of the named defendants —Stephen Lee, Harrison Floyd, and Trevian Kutti — all repeatedly called Freeman, called her neighbors, and showed up at her home, telling her she needed “protection” and offering to help. The help they offered was not much help at all, though — only that Trump and his allies would leave Freeman alone if she lied about election night and aligned her story with the fever dreams of Rudy Guiliani and friends.

Literally mob-style activities. RICO, indeed.

This trial, as designated, is to be a single trial of all nineteen defendants (at once). So nineteen tables with lawyers (and their lawyers…); the problem may be to find a venue large enough to hold such a fine assemblage. One (comic?) suggestion has been to see if the nearby ‘Thillerdome’ (Georgia Institute of Technology sports arena) might be rented out for the occasion.

These are the women Giuliani was recently forced to admit he’d been lying about all this time.

Now this just doesn’t make a lick of sense. I, for one, bogart my USB ports.

Wow! This I didn’t know. This is some massively F’d up shenanigans.

I hope Trump and his goons lying about Ms. Freemen and Ms. Moss is what puts them behind bars. Given how TFG rose to “prominence” by demonizing POC, it’d be fitting if being exposed as a lying racist is what takes him down.

They should repurpose the holding facilities where they kept kids in cages.

One of the things that puts them behind bars, anyway. It was a terrible crime and violation of those women’s rights and safety but would be a pity if that was the only crime team Trump is held accountable for.

A Maxi Trial, you mean?

The Maxi Trial (Italian: Maxiprocesso ) was a criminal trial against the Sicilian Mafia that took place in Palermo, Sicily. The trial lasted from 10 February 1986 (the first day of the Corte d’Assise) to 30 January 1992 (the final day of the Supreme Court of Cassation), and was held in a bunker-style courthouse specially constructed for this purpose inside the walls of the Ucciardone prison.

Her testimony to the 6th committee is chilling. There’s any amount of sites that have it, including one Fox affiliate I found.

I would imagine that at least some of the low-hanging fruit will flip or plead out long before it gets to that stage.

The whole Pizzagate conspiracy grew out of how mundane Podesta’s emails were. “There’s got to be something evil hidden here!”

Once they wanted to see something it was easy to convince themselves they had seen it it.

May every single named defendant receive SERIOUS prison terms, and lose every appeal. Scum barely begins to describe them.

Who will be the first defendant to turn themselves in at Rice St. jail, and when? Place your bets now!
