Hello and welcome to the Daily beans for Wednesday, August 2, 2023. Today, Donald Trump has been charged with four counts in his plot to overthrow the government in 2022. Republicans have been indicted in Michigan for illegally accessing voting machines after paying legal fees. The Trump super PAC is broke, and it appears that Rudy Giuliani's discovery bill in the Ruby Freeman lawsuit has been paid by Donald Trump. I'm Alison Gill.
Dana Goldberg (1:11)
And I'm Dana Goldberg.
Alison Gill (1:17)
Surprise. I'm here.
Dana Goldberg (1:19)
I'm so glad you're here. Like, I knew I was ready to take the podcast alone, but when the former president gets indicted for the third time, you've got to be here. Like, this is a big fucking deal. Like, this is January 6th. Shit. Like, he may actually go to prison, Be held accountable, please, for this stuff. So I'm glad you're here. We're going to break it down. Where are you?
Alison Gill (1:40)
Yeah, I wasn't. By the way, I wasn't supposed to be here today. I'm in Los Angeles. I'm doing an arbitration, but I am here. I am recording remotely, so I don't have my fancy microphone. I don't have my studio. So please, please forgive my sound quality, but I. I couldn't not be here with y' all today, everybody listening. And Dana, I had. I had to. So I. I made it happen. And we have a lot of news to get to, so let's hit the hot notes. Hot notes. All right, let's have a discussion about this indictment. There are four charges.
Dana Goldberg (2:15)
Yes.
Alison Gill (2:16)
Yes. Title 18, US Code 371. We have 1512 K. 1512, and 241. Now, 371 encapsulates a lot. It includes the fraudulent elector scheme, the Pence pressure campaign, the riot on January 6, and using the DOJ to subvert the election and coax out fraudulent electors. 1512 is the conspiracy to obstruct and impede the electoral count on January 6th. 1512 is the actual obstruction of the electoral count on January 6th. And 241 is the conspiracy against rights. And specifically here in this indictment, it's the conspiracy against the right for one or more persons to have the right to vote and to have their vote count. So we were wondering how he might apply that. Now we know how he is applying that particular charge. There are six unindicted co conspirators named in. They're not named. They're named. They're given numbers.
