The first count of Fani Willis’ indictment is for Violation of the Georgia RICO Act — that’s the state’s anti-racketeering law. All 19 defendants have been charged with … READ MORE
Just read through Fani Willis’ RICO indictment. I worked with the Department of Justice on the very first billion-dollar white-collar RICO case in 1988, and also did a Georgia RICO investigation shortly thereafter, so I know the US and Georgia law well. Willis’ case is even stronger than Jack Smith’s — though a state conviction can’t… READ MORE
Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has just announced another “cleansing” of the voter rolls. This time a total of 191,473 voters are set to be purged. Congratulations to Raffensperger for cleaning the voter rolls whiter than white. We’re going back down to… READ MORE
The media missed the big one in the story about how Paul “The Vulture” Singer hooked Justice Samuel Alito. Singer’s big case, in which he invested millions, was Shelby v. Holder. Alito was the surprise deciding vote that destroyed the Voting Rights Act, Singer’s priority, key to GOP power… READ MORE
The real issue in Coffee County, Georgia is not hacking the voting machines, but vicious vote suppression. When I entered Coffee County, I was greeted by Confederate flags. The Courthouse has glorious Confederate soldier statues in front of it. It’s 200 miles from Atlanta and 200 years back in time. In Vigilante we tell the story of Coffee County, and how Brian Kemp ordered the arrest of… READ MORE
What happened in the Dominion case against Fox? What about Smartmatic, the voting machine company which Hugo Chavez helped launch that’s also suing Fox?

I hate to rain on the parade, but Trump’s indictment — even felony conviction — will not bar Trump from holding office. While I’ve reported on Trump as a one-man crime wave, the cold truth is, if convicted, it will be his first offense for low-level felony — so forget jail time.… READ MORE
In May 2022, Donald Trump launched the film 2000 Mules, accusing literally hundreds of Black men (the “mules”) of stuffing ballot dropboxes in Georgia and elsewhere causing Trump his re-election. Problem: Every single person accused by True the Vote, the makers of 2000 Mules, has been proven innocent — every one. Now, True the Vote’s operatives will face civil action in federal court and could pay heavily for their… READ MORE
I got a call this morning from Selma, Alabama. It was Reverend. Two old guys with our old-guy ailments and decades to reminisce about. But Reverend Jesse Jackson doesn’t waste time on nostalgia. Before he went off to a service with President Biden, he was pushing me, in the few words at a time his Parkinson’s allows, to get my film, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, back out … READ MORE
In the pilot episode of Know Your Rights, host CK Hoffler talks to Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown and Palast about voting rights — and voting wrongs. The trio also delve into the historic struggle for the right to vote — a hard fought human right that should be sacrosanct, but is increasingly… READ MORE
“It’s in front of him” may be the words that finally send Donald Trump to the hoosegow. The focus of Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis’ Grand Jury investigation was on the scheme to present a fraudulent slate of Electors to Congress. And, according to the January 6th Committee report, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel sent an “elector recap” memo to… READ MORE
