Georgia lawmaker who threatened civil war has 'foolproof' plan to 'set Trump free'
Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore (R) detailed what he called a "foolproof" plan to have charges against Donald Trump and others for an alleged conspiracy to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election dropped.
During an interview with right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon on Thursday, Moore explained how Republicans in Georgia could scuttle the charges against Trump and 19 others.
"I'm working on a piece of legislation called the Stop Political Persecutions Act. This thing is going to be foolproof," Moore said.
"[The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] in the state of Georgia does not have a monetary component like most states do. Some say if we added a monetary component to Georgia's RICO, well, you know, Trump and everybody's been indicted on election stuff, not monetary stuff."
"You know, if that doesn't work, because some people could argue that maybe Trump was trying to make money by getting elected," he continued, "we are going to list out every single charge that these people have been indicted with and just say those charges are not going to be associated with RICO anymore. And therefore, that would retroactively drop the charges."

Moore insisted that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis "would be done" if he could pass his legislation.
"All we need is 29 votes of 33 Republicans, and we could get this done, and we would set Trump free," he said.
Moore has previously warned of civil war if the prosecution against Trump moves forward.
"We need to be taking action right now," he explained to Bannon earlier this year. "Because if we don't, our constituencies are going to be fighting it in the streets. Do you want a civil war? I don't want a civil war. I don't want to have to draw my rifle. I want to make this problem go away with my legislative means of doing so."
