Former President Donald Trump is still fuming and insisted yet again the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen.
On Monday, the selection for a special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, was underway to investigate whether or not Trump and his allies broke the law in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump had insisted his January 2, 2021 phone call in which he pressured Georgia election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, to help him and "find" him more votes was "perfect."
Here's hopin' for a "PERFECT" indictment.https://www.rawstory.com/trump-georgia-grand-jury-2657255238/\u00a0\u2026— Tea Pain (@Tea Pain) 1651581879
Around the time when Democratic District Attorney Fani Willis took office, an audiotape recording of the phone call–in which Trump urged Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes...which is one more than [the 11,779 vote margin of defeat] we have, because we won the state."–leaked to the public.
Trump lost the election by more than 7 million votes nationwide and by 74 votes in the electoral college.
Despite being told there was no electoral error, Trump emphatically claimed he won Georgia by "hundreds of thousands of votes."
Social media users remain optimistic justice will prevail.
I'm not an attorney, but it does seem to me that a taped conversation where someone tells an official that they just need to find enough votes to overturn the election would be sufficient evidence— Kodiak\ud83c\udd98 (@Kodiak\ud83c\udd98) 1651496254
Someone please explain to me how THEY WOULDNT vote to indict ??? I mean he is on tape ! Explain to me like I\u2019m 5 .— Southpaw (@Southpaw) 1651521289
What he did was against the law, a crime. \nAll the evidence is there.— Warm Canto ... (@Warm Canto ...) 1651519172
As Fulton County began impaneling jurors for the probe, Trump was furious and took to his Truth Social platform where he grumbled about another "witch hunt" against him continuing in Fulton County, Georgia.
super surprised by that response— Dennis Hinkamp (@Dennis Hinkamp) 1651626979
Trump said of the southern state where President Joe Biden prevailed and claimed victory was “one of the most corrupt areas anywhere in the country."
Ron Filipkowski shared a screenshot of Trump's broken record complaint on Twitter and said Georgia was the state Trump is always worried about, "Because this time, the 'perfect calls' are on tape."
GA is the one he is worried about. It\u2019s the one he\u2019s always worried about. Because this time, the \u201cperfect calls\u201d are on tape. The last line - he was just calling as \u201cChief Law Enforcement Officer of the US.\u201d The president is nothing of the sort - that\u2019s his autocratic fantasy.pic.twitter.com/p0Ag3ohqwQ— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1651579434
#RonnyJackson is imitating tRump with "witch hunt" crap. Won't work, Dr. Feelgood. There are phone records. You have explaining to do. By the way, the 1/6 Committee is legitimate. Saying something is illegitimate because they've got you by the grapes or raisins is such a yawn.— bmichael (@bmichael) 1651523944
Trump continued grousing:
“A ‘Special’ get Trump Grand Jury has been convened to discuss a ‘PERFECT’ phone call that was made by me, as President, directly from the White House and with many lawyers and other people knowingly on the call, and with my assumption that the call was being recorded."
I hope is lawyers suck all the money out of his banks .https://www.rawstory.com/trump-georgia-grand-jury-2657255238/\u00a0\u2026— misteryresister (@misteryresister) 1651607016
He maintained his innocence by insisting the call would have been legal because he was President at the time.
“As President I am the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the U.S. The Election was rigged and stolen!” he asserted, even though Trump's repeated claims of a rigged or stolen election have been debunked many times over.
He puts "perfect" in quotes to acknowledge it wasn't perfect in any way, other than the criminal intent.— Tim in TX (@Tim in TX) 1651580696
Not a witch hunt. A traitor hunt.https://www.rawstory.com/trump-georgia-grand-jury-2657255238/\u00a0\u2026— Peter Tet\u00e9 (@Peter Tet\u00e9) 1651590317
In January, District Attorney Willis requested the grand jury to examine election interference in the state in order to issue subpoenas after more than 50 potential witnesses declined to speak to her investigators voluntarily.

Georgia has some fierce warriors for democracy. Hope she has the evidence.— crotoncath (@crotoncath) 1651493934
Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney told the 26 prospective jurors, including three alternates, they were granted investigative authority and subpoena power to help Willis determine whether or not a crime has been committed.
