Georgia prosecutors have messages showing Trump's team is behind voting system breach

... Together, the text messages and other court documents show how Trump lawyers and a group of hired operatives sought to access Coffee County’s voting systems in the days before January 6, 2021, as the former president’s allies continued a desperate hunt for any evidence of widespread fraud they could use to delay certification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

 Last year, a former Trump official testified under oath to the House January 6 select committee that plans to access voting systems in Georgia were discussed in meetings at the White House, including during an Oval Office meeting on December 18, 2020,  that included Trump. 

Six days before pro-Trump operatives gained unauthorized access to voting systems, the local elections official who allegedly helped facilitate the breach sent a “written invitation” to attorneys working for Trump, according to text messages obtained by CNN.

Investigators have scrutinized the actions of various individuals who were involved, including Misty Hampton, a former Coffee County elections official who authored the letter of invitation referenced in text messages and other documents that have been turned over to prosecutors, multiple sources told CNN...

She may be looking at RICO charges that could probably encompass acts occurring outside of Fulton County.

"Former federal prosecutor Lisa Rubin said during an appearance on MSNBC with host Alex Witt that the report connects the dots between what’s described in special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 election conspiracy case against the former president with evidence of what happened on the ground.

“I think that Alex what we're going to see is sort of the connective tissue that might be missing from the federal indictment, which is to say there was an effort being made at the top, we see that in the federal indictment, right? A number of people associated with Trump, in particular his legal advisors, trying to execute a number of different overlapping conspiracies to turn the election for him,” Rubin said."
